I have created multiple copies of the game. I used MultiSH4 to create multiple save directories in "My Documents". I have 2 other save directories one each for Trigger Maru(TM) and Real Fleet Boat(RFB). How do I get the Damage Control Analyzer to look into those other directories?

JREX53:

Interesting. I did not know that such a program as MultiSH4 existed. Damage Control assumes the default saved game path. You are the only one to complain about this so far, but the fact that even one person is affected by it means that I will try to come up with a solution as quickly as possible!

Sorry for the disappointment.

Bill, I'm not really disappointed, it looks like a great program and I would really like to use it. I was just wondering if there was a way to direct it to my save directories.

Thanks

Hey, Jim:

Thanks for the info. No, there isn't a way to choose your saved game directory - YET! Give me a day or two and that feature will added!

BTW - the reason it was hardwired to use the default saved game path was so that it wouldn't have to search all your drives for saved games. (I believe this is why Damage Analyzer took so long to do its auto thing.) The next release of Damage Control will enable you to specify the folder that contains your saved game folders. Itwill remember the last path specified the next time it is opened, or you can specify a new path at any time (and it will remember the new path).

Bill
DA-II gets the searchpath in one of its ini files. It takes so long, if NO specific searchpath is defined, cause in this case, it searches the whole user profile ... :-)

You are doing a great job - what do you think, to save the settings in a ini-file or in the registry, so every setting set up once does not have to be set a second time?
This would save some time for the user.
