Here we go, Brag...

If you know how to use WinZip or any other similar utility for zipping a file, then all you need to do is look in "My Documents" for a folder labeled "SH3".

Now, Balz's career will be located at 'SH3\data\cfg\Careers\YOUR KALEUN', where "YOUR KALEUN" is the name of your u-boat commander. So, for Balz it should be 'SH3\data\cfg\Careers\Balz' or "J.S. Balz" or whatever way you named him.

All you need do is take that one folder, the one with Balz's name, zip it up, and then provide it to someone by e-mail attachment or whatever method you prefer.

If you don't have a zip utility of any sort, then get either 7-zip or IZArc, they're both free and/or open source.

Once you have one of those installed, you should be able to zip Balz's folder by right-clicking on it, mouse down to the 7-zip or IZArc entry in the pop-up menu and then selecting either "Add to archive.." (for 7-zip) or "Add to Balz.zip" (for IZArc).

Before you can say "Hoochie-woochie boom-boom", you'll have the zip file! It will be located in the parent folder where the Balz folder is and have the same name as the folder but with a .zip (IZArc) or .7z (7-zip) ending.

This means that "Balz.zip" would be found in 'SH3\data\cfg\Careers'.

Holler back if you hit a sang. Good luck! ;)

LOL :rotfl:

Thanks Graf,
I have lots of zip files but no Win Zip (that I can find) :88)

Kingmaker has neither Balz in his teacozy nor hoochie woochie?

I am bitterly dissapointed!!!!

Thanks, Jim :up:

Your welcome mate http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

:roll: Drats. They both want money :eek:

I think its because BDu is getting tired of Herr Balz sinking too many ships, and is taking all the glory for himself.....

That's why I recommended either IZArc or 7-zip. Both are absolutely free.

Then again, this is all sort of a moot point now that you've decided to "reboot" Balz's career with a new boat and crew.

Make regular backups of your career by copying your kaleun's folder to someplace else like 'My Documents\SH3\Balz Backup', preferably every time you exit the game.

Pester JSCones to include that feature into SH3 Commander. Backing up your career and crew with a single click would sure save a lot of people some headaches, but especially you, Brag.

Good hunting! :arrgh!:

Thanks Graf--good idea backing up a career.

You should have PM'd me :lol:
