importing a save file

[JoJoDeath]

Hey there!

I've recently gotten a new pc, and I downloaded Reborn on here as well. I started a new save file, but I want to be able to use both of them, without having one of them replaced or deleted. I downloaded the game.rxdata file from my old save file, and backed up the new save file's game.rxdata. Do I need more to import my old save? And what do I do now, in order to keep both files seperately, and allowing both to work fine?

Thanks in advance!

Just keep a copy of both of them in separate folders.And replace the Game.rxdata file in your saved games folder with the old or new save file as needed.

And I guess you can use the save file manager:http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20828

I'll expand a bit on this:

When Pokemon Reborn launches it basically fetches the folder "C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\Pokemon Reborn" and attempts to open the file "Game.rxdata". If there's one, it just opens it and loads your saved game from it. If there's not one, it gives the option of creating a new game. Basically, the game will treat the file called "Game.rxdata" as the savefile, so what you need to do is keep your save files in separate folders and whenever you want to play a specific save file, copy it to the folder "C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\Pokemon Reborn" and call it "Game.rxdata".The same way, whenever you finish playing, you need to take the save file back to the external folder or it will be replaced when you try to play a different file.

As this process of copying files around is quite tedious, you can try to automatize it with different mechanisms such as batch stripts or a program. The save file manager is just a simple program I wrote that automatizes all this process of copying around files.

Hope it helps
