His main reason for asking was for running Careers using the same name, but using different installs of both SH3 and SH3Cmdr. Obviously, using the single Personnel Files folder would cause conflict between the different Career names.
I answered that I was unsure if it was possible, currently, and recommended he simply added a suffix to his Kaleun name (eg, Kurt Schmidt-GW, and Kurt Schmidt-WaW).
Not a problem, more of a query. Is it possible?
Cheers.....and major Kudos on a superb program!!  |
OK, I can add an extra layer viz My Documents\Personnel Files\XXX\CareerName\ where XXX is the save game folder you set via MultiSH3. Thus, you can end up with something like:
\My Documents\Personnel Files\SH3\Career 1\
\My Documents\Personnel Files\SH3\Career 2\
\My Documents\Personnel Files\SH3\Career 3\
\My Documents\Personnel Files\GWX\Career 1\
\My Documents\Personnel Files\GWX\Career 2\
\My Documents\Personnel Files\ETC\Career 1\
...
This will at least keep them all together, but still sufficiently separate. It will also keep them out of the SH3 save game folders, meaning less likelyhood of accidental deletion. |
Many thanks Jaessen!
That would indeed achieve the desired results!
As I said earlier, I was unsure whether it was even possible, let alone how much work would be involved.
I thank you for your continuing mission to extend the possibilities of this great little program (OK...now not so little!
)
Regards
