Need help transferring save data
I tried transferring Battle for Wesnoth onto an external hard drive so that I could play it no a more powerful computer, but the save data did not transfer with it.
How do I transfer my saves from one machine to another?

Re: Need help transferring save data
You need to find your userdata folder first. What operating system are you on?
Re: Need help transferring save data
I am going from an Windows XP to a Windows 7.
Re: Need help transferring save data
Okay on windows check in
My Documents\My Games\
You should see a wesnoth folder. That contains all your add-ons, saves, replays, preferences, and what not.

All right I've got the folder, it's exactly where you said it was on the Windows XP machine, thank you.
Just mentioning, dropping it in mygames on the windows 7 computer did not work. Eventually I tracked down a folder called userdata and copied the contents into there.
Thank you very much for helping me out. I appreciate it.

Where are the save files on a Mac? - OSX 10.5.8 - Wesnoth 1.9.0
I thought I knew where all that stuff was kept; I've spent 20 minutes looking in every place I could think of!! Uggghh...

Re: Need help transferring save data
Wrong library. Look at the above post. "~" denotes the Home folder.
