Need help with Save-Game Hack

Jeff2121 · Post by **Jeff2121** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 3:00 am

So, I found my savegame file, edited the credits to 4 mil, clicked save and....*pop*

Some box pops up and says:

"Cannot create the C:\Program Files\Vegastrike\Vegastrike-0.4.3\.vegastrike\save\Dave file.

Please make sure path and filename are correct"

Oh well, its just a read-only file...WRONG

Hmm, maybe I need to select "All files"...WRONG

So, is it because I need the SVN or is it something with Windows Vista?

Ah Windows Vista...

Yeah, Vista has some stupid annoyances, and this is one of them...
Look at this thread... it might help:

I looked, but that tells me where they're saved, I can open them and all, it just won't save, the same thing happens with Read-only files, but I think it may be because Windows doesn't recognize it.

Are you running as a normal user, or are you in the TrustedInstallers group. I don't think it will work as a normal user... Have you tried the security permissions tab? Try giving all Users access to read and write to the save folder and/or files.

Also, another thing is that the "allow" window might be popping up in order to save. Are you running in windowed mode?

Unfortunately, I have never used vi, so I can't really help... I just assume that there is a way to allow that access.

[joke]Maybe it doesn't like that you named it Dave. "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

Oh no, we have to support Vista now?

Maybe there would be less of an issue if we placed it in the /Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Vegastrike folder or somesuch?

Okay, I think I fixed it. I checked everything in the Security tab under permissions. Thanks

Well that's one of my plans at least... I don't see how that's any different from using a separate home directory under Linux.

And it seems it's going to cause real problems with win vi as well.
