Well, I dont know whats going on, I changed some files, swapped them back altered them again, had no joy on getting my renown transferred over nor crew skill points, though I managed to start the 2nd campaign. Unhappy on starting again from nothing I decided to start allover again to sort out can copy over the save game files. on reloading the original save where I had docked to copy the files over the campaign some how ended as it should have now im on the 2nd campaign with all my and crew points.
The instructions said on what save game files to copy over but inspecting my sh5 folder I have 2 different save game folders they are :- SH5/data/users/"in my name" folder with campaign 2017-xx-xx_xxxx
and the other folder is SH5/data/cfg/savegames and 4 folders 0000000 all ending in 0 to 4, in those folders are 1 folder the same as what is in the other users folder. And a load of cfg,dat files.
the only files I had changed were in the users folder. I copied the entire folder and deleted all entries.
After starting the 2nd campaign with my prev stats I deleted all my save games and just saved it as 1 save. On checking the folder again its still empty, so I dont know where the save went to
, the whole thing has given me a headache lol.
