le717 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 So, I just beat Rocket Racer the other day on my first try. So, now he is on the main menu of the game. I have messing with the game files (JAM extracting) and I have also been backing up my save so I can play where I left off on other computers in my house. Well, under the "Save" folder in the game files, there are multiple folders. Each one of them have a number, starting with "0" and ending with "15". From what I can figure, someone can have 16 game saves for LR1. But, I do not know how to create another one (not that I want to yet, I still have to the time trials). Is it possible to create another Game save, put that save in one of the other folders (1,2,3, etc.), and how do I access those saves from the game? I have seen a video posted by jamesster where he did the time trials as a total newbie, and I know he has beat the game before that. So, that is partly where I get the idea the there can be more than one game save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrMasterModelBuilder Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I've always wondered about those other folders myself. I personally have a "LEGORac1" file in both the 0 and 1 folder (nothing in the others), the 0 folder has a large one which has all my cars and stuff, the one in the 1 folder is a small file with not a lot of bytes, but it has the same file date modified as the other one. If you want multiple save files, you can just rename your "Save" folder and the game will create a new, blank progress one. Then you can switch back and forth by changing the names.

Cyrem Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I or someone else could make a launcher which can allow you to select which save you wish to use in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you do that please? I think would work better than having to move the folders each time I wanted to change game saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you do it Cyrem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to how the PS3 does PS1 save slots. Just have multiple save slots and choose the one you wish to use when you start the game. It then moves the files to where the game can access them.

Noob Slayer Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Please do, Cyrem! I usually beat the whole game in one sitting (no restarts, no quits). I've gotten to the point to where it's way too easy for me, but I don't want to keep deleting the save files to start all over again...(ok, ok, call me a whiner baby).

Modded Lego Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yes, that would be a really great tool if you made it Cyrem! Hope you do! :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrem Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Sure, I will look into it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le717 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Um, I could (possibly) do this myself now in Python (using the os and sys modules). The only really hard part would be figuring out which save is newest, but that could be done by printing the date modified stamps. Cyrem, if you want, I'll do this. I need to practice programming in Python, and I haven't had anything to write. EDIT: In fact, I'll try to start the code tonight if at all possible.

Mine will have a little more features then that and will also include my racer importer/exporter inbuilt. TrussROBLOX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, I won't make it. I'll find something else to write. I was planning on adding text file I/O for save comments, but go right ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
