Compiled game keeps exporting saves

#1 Post by Coren » Sat Jun 22, 2013 4:09 am

Whenever I build distributions, the saves are also brought into the new one. I used to delete all the saves with the delete button, but now that I'm using an imagemap it doesn't seem to work. Also, deleting the saves folder doesn't work either - it's empty. Can someone help please? Thanks!

When you are checking the exhorted game are you checking it on the same computer you made the saves on? I heard saves are stored in a computer specific place and that if you open the game on a different computer the saves will not be there since the saves are still on your computer and not the game itself. So if you are worried people playing the game will find your saves they shouldn't be able to see them. I haven't tested that myself though ^^;.

If you are on Windows 7, then your saved data will go to Users\*name*\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\the name you gave to your saved game folder. Check there.

Wasn't there also an additional directory? (I think I read something when someone TRIED to ship saves with the game via USB stick that there is also an additional directory where saves can be)

You might be referring to making a folder named "Ren'Py Data" at the root of the flash drive. Persistent data will be stored there when renpy games are run off the flash drive. (Fun fact: It also works on a hard drive partition! This allows for easy sharing within a multi-booting PC.)
