savedatasettings.txt not working??? *FIXED*

Post by matchbox2022 »

Not too sure what's going on, but wherever I seem to install the game and try creating the text file "savedatasettings.txt" no typos, and with 5000 set inside, I seem to not be getting any new text files created during the game...
I'm trying to use this in conjunction with logging fuel, so it kinda puts a big damper on stuff :(

Any ideas why it's refusing to write the text file log?

Couple of things to check:

- Verify the folder you place the 'savedatasettings.txt' file in (with the EXE, not the save data folder).

- Verify the folder name you specify in line 2 of the file (below the time rate value). If you don't specify a value, then the output file ('savedata.txt') will be placed in the save data folder by default and that location is the \Users\[username]\Documents\EvochronLegacy folder. Or if you've specified a custom save data folder location via the 'savedir' option, it will be in that custom location. If you specify a folder name in line 2 that is specific to the savedata system, verify that path actually exists as entered, then look for the output file in the folder you specify.

Thx Vice
I spent a little time digging and came up with exactly what you said.
Didn't know about line 2. Kudos. Works great now :)
