saving mp games?

Post here to arrange or discuss multiplayer games. Remember when planning a game to state the time the lobby will be open, the time the game will start and the time zone you are in and if you are going to play through Gamespy or direct IP address.

yeah, someone has to send the save to everyone, I think, so that everyone is working from the exact same save.

Lightbringer is correct. One person creates the save and then e-mails it around to everyone.

Each machine needs a copy of the savegame. The game does not transmit the savegame.

Hi! problems with saves this is not problems.

1. Save maps in PC
2. Send save to friends.
3. You friends must save the save map to the game (Savegames)
3. This is end. Nice game :)


Polish

Cześć! problemy z sejwami to nie problemy.

1. Zapisz mape na swoim komputerze
2. Wyslij bądź udostepnij kolegą swojego sejwa.
3. Jezeli go otrzymają i wgrają do pliku Savegames to po robocie.
4. To już koniec. Milej gry.


Pozdrawiam Szumi

So if u do what u say the save game should show when u go to start a multiplayer game? Or do u have to do something different? Also do u put the copy of the save game in your Save game folder or the multiplayer folder? Im just trying to get it to so that I can save a multiplayer game with my firends and then we are able to reload the game at a different time to continue.

Couldn't quite understand what you meant.

But, I will go through the procedure for you.

Start a mp game.

Run out of time that day and save it.

Give a copy taken from one comp to everyone else (doesn't even have to be host)

Ok, I got that part, but what folder do I put the save files in on each computer and how do I start a multplayer game with those save files? Always when I start a mutiplayer game it only shows the Regions and Senario's for a new game. I dont see the previous save game anywhere when I load up a multiplayer game. Thats why i am completely confused. Do I start just any mutiplayer game and load the save file after everyone joins in or is the save game supose to show its self when I start a multiplayer game after I done what u just said to do? I tried copying the save game over to my laptop and I placed the file in the save game folder and when I loaded up a mutiplayer game with my main home computer it doesnt show the save file anywhere other than when I click the load option. I think im doing something wrong and Im sorry to confuse anyone with my post.
