Title: Save game folder
Post by: RagnarDa on April 12, 2012, 12:59:49 pm

I've recently changed OS on my computer from Windows to Ubuntu 11.10. I'd like to continue my game in the new OS but can't find where to put the save-games. I'm using a few weeks old build from the SVN. Also, I'm a Linux noob...  :D

Not sure if that is a typo or not, but we no longer use SVN. We now use GIT. If you look under the Development (latest) section on our download page (http://ufoai.org/wiki/index.php/Download), you can see more about how to get our repository.

Sorry, meant git...

It was because I didnt showed hidden files that I couldn't find the folder. Thanks for quick reply!

Also, no way to keep saves when updating to a new major revision? I've spent a lot of hours on this game, and it would be wonderful not having to start all over again... I think my old game was in version 2.3.

Sorry to say, but the answer is no. So many things have changed since 2.3 it would take much time to assemble a conversion tool and noone could guarantee compatibility then either.
