entemedor -> Renaming save files (12/12/2002 4:53:09 PM)

Hello,
probably your save files still have the .dat extension after the name you gave them, if you go to old MS-DOS you will see the complete name, you can rename them here (it's mentioned in another post, but I can't remember where). I had the same problem and that solved it for me.
Remember the trick for typing the ~ symbol is Alt+126.

Hope this helps.

Slickric;

Here is part of a post by MR Schwanebeck on renaming files AND changing the file extensions...I had the same problem:

***********************************************

To convert old files to the new format, used in version 2.0, you just need to rename them. **

1) The autosave in slot zero should be renamed uv000_autosave.uvs
2) The combat vcr replay in slot one should be renamed uv001_combatsave.uvs
3) The other files should be renamed, using the following convention:

uvxxx_scen.uvs where xxx is the slot number

This will cause the saved game to show up in the saved game list of the game. You should then load the game with some meaningful comment. When you look in the saved game folder, you will see the game you saved, with the slot number and the comment you assigned, such as:

UV004_Carrier Battle.UVS

this should aid in saved game management.


**
In "MyComputer" or the "Windows Explorer" just go to:

Tools -> Folder Options -> View

There uncheck "Hide extensions for known files types"

note: the path above is from WindowsXP. The path might by slighty different on other OSs. But you get the idea.
