Troubleshooting / System overhaul and save files
« on: 2016-04-02 05:49:11 »
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have a few questions about how to properly restore game saves before I proceed with a system overhaul.
Game used: FFVII Steam PC installation patched with FF7_GameConverter_7H.exe and modded exclusively with 7th Heaven mods using the tutorial @ http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15520.0
Question 1. The C:\user\Documents\Square Enix\FINAL FANTASY VII Steam\user_12345678 directory only contains two files: achievement.dat and metadata.xml. The F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\save directory contains save**.ff7 files exclusively. Should both of these files locations be backed up and restored before launching the modded game for the first time?
Question 2. I will re-install the game from Steam and re-patch and mod it as I did before. Is there any part of the re-installation process that needs to be done a certain way to make sure the saves from the previous installation function correctly?
I have looked around for a thread discussing this here and elsewhere but I have not been able to work these things out. If I am in the wrong place or I have missed something then please accept my apologies and if you might point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
