Game Data
25.02.2007 at 19:33:18

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd make a suggestion regarding all the different game data files for MM's with different graphics and sounds etc.

It's a bit of a faff swapping around the individual files so I decided to create duplicate game data folders for each set of files for MM's like Dominator and StarCraft. It has made it easier for me, and it encourages me to play the different mansions more.

Anywho, just thought I'd mention it.

Anyway, I will have a SERIOUS look at it, because I love perfection. And it reminds me also about a small error in the Read me first text of StarCraft.

I did to Midninght Mansion folder: one for the original and "ordinary" custum mansions and one for Dominator and StarCraft. The latter I stripped down, that is clear out the original mansions as well as the "ordinary" custom mansions.

To tell you the truth, I only have 2 data folders! The original and Ted's! The StarCraft and Dominator is inside the original. Like this....

Hey! Now I can look on Wingy's desktop !!! Cheesy

As good as your idea is, Lara.... but you still need to swop the Game Data folders, don't you ?
Of course, this is way less of a hassle than changing all the single files.... so it's an improvment !!

I have also used the color system, but have not different Game Data folders. I have the custom files all nested in the Game Data folder, together with one called Original Game, which I use as a "garage" for the original game data.
Whenever I change, I simply open 2 windows in the finder., that both show the MM folder, and then I can very quickly copy the different files back and forth without having to navihate to the hierarchy.
