remove old saves as it uses the new name for the save files and folders,not the old one

[Eclipse the Dragon]

is there a way to do this? i got my old save changed from Ratopia to Ratopia2 and Ratopia2 showed in the game load list, but saving gets the new saves the old folder and file naming, not the naming.

I am not sure if I fully understand what the issue is, but did you change the name of your save file or did it get changed by the update? There is a json in the save zip with DirectoryName, FileName and KingdomName.. but for some reason changing those values does not get ignored when saving, which might be an unintended change.

i missed KingdomName last time.
i changed:
'in PlayFile',Ratopia folder renamed to Ratopia2.
'in Ratopia2 folder', Ratopia.zip to Ratopia2.zip.
'in Ratopia2.zip' all files renamed from Ratopia to Ratopia2 (each kept it's .ID as is).
'in Ratopia2.json' changed DirectoryName, FileName and KingdomName from Ratopia to Ratopia2.

go into the game and load list show save as Ratopia2.
load the game and save, but the save makes a new Ratopia foler in PlayFile and puts the new save in there.
.zip name, names of files in the .zip, and DirectoryName, FileName and KingdomName are all Ratopia.

I've made a bug report about this. I don't think it is intentional that DirecotryName and FileName still exist in the JSON, but they get ignored on save. That has changed.

They probably use some entry from the .dat instead now ~~ but I would not recommend editing that.

no need to tell me that. it uses characters that show up as
in notepad. save changes with notepad and all those characters become
, giving some data as:



game can't read that.
if you could something that lets you read it and not change characters to
, you get something this:

Map_TileType[0] ##
Map_TileType[1] ##
Map_TileType[2] ##
(up to)
Map_TileType[65533] ##
Map_TileType[65534] ##
Map_TileType[65535] ##

good luck finding the right Map_TileType in 65536 of them, and i just want a name change.

In ‘My Kingdom Name’.dat
Literally at the very beginning of the file I found another "KingdomName":" with the same name as
‘My Kingdom Name’.json
However, I would personally edit the .dat file with something like WinHex.
