I 100ed% the VN.
I have windows XP installed to my first disc. I installed KS to my third disc, then played it through a shortcut on my second disc where I keep my VN folder. Windows crashes on my first disc and I reinstall XP. KS installation is untouched by this I would think. I go t acccess KS for the first time since reinstalling XP on another disc. Now my save progress is gone from my game.
Not sure completely what to make of this.
Under what directory is the master save file stored so I know next time I want to back this up?
Edit: I realized there might be a different explanation, but I have no proof. My 2nd and 3rd disc had their drive letters changed after I reinstalled XP. Could it be that the master save file is stored on the disc of installation, but might be pointing to the wrong directory path now?
Any insight would be appreciated.

Ren'py puts its savegame and persistent data to /user/AppData/Roaming/Renpy/ under XP. Reinstalling your OS will blow up all renpy game savedata unless you back them up.

Ouch. Not my first choice for a save location, but I guess that's Renpy that did that.Aura wrote:Ren'py puts its savegame and persistent data to /user/AppData/Roaming/Renpy/ under XP.
I'm wondering if someone just copied their folder and uploaded it for Vertical to place in the same spot if that would work.

Your home directory is the canonical location for user data. Ren'Py behaves entirely correctly. If you have several HDs, and one of them is for user data, it's very recommended to locate your home directory there after installation.

Thank you sir. I will be backing up that folder to my memory stick for future reference.Aura wrote:Ren'py puts its savegame and persistent data to /user/AppData/Roaming/Renpy/ under XP. Reinstalling your OS will blow up all renpy game savedata unless you back them up.
For you sir. Only the finest. But I'll just bum the completion file off my brother. Thanks for the sentiment.Validus Razgriz wrote:I'm wondering if someone just copied their folder and uploaded it for Vertical to place in the same spot if that would work.
That's a great idea. I get tired of adjusting my task bar every time I make a new user account. I'll look into that.delta wrote:Your home directory is the canonical location for user data.
