Wesnoth save syncing

Post by freekdotcom »

Hey
I'm Currently trying to sync save files over two separate computers using steam.
I have enabled Steam Cloud Synchronisation, but they still do not sync files.

The files I'm trying to sync are for an addon, which I have downloaded on both computers (LOtI).
Would that make a difference at all?

I am aware that I could simply copy the files over manually, however I would like to automate this if I can.

Please send help ;)

Are you asking about syncing saves or the add-on?

I'm looking to sync the save files of the add-on.
So I think it should just be a question of syncing save files, but I just wanted to mention that it is for an add-on in case that makes a difference.

Alright, saves should be syncing, whether or not they're from an add-on. Some questions:
  1. What operating system are you using?
  2. Is the Steam Cloud synchronization enabled for Wesnoth?
  3. If it is enabled, how much space is left available?

I am having same problems with syncing my saves. I am using Windows as my OS and have wesnoth installed on Steam.

For some reason, even though steam cloud sync is on for this game, it is not able to store any of it. I've been trying it for a while and its not working out.

Could you let me know where the save files are actually stored in the Windows filesystem? I would like to manually move them to the appropriate place.

Thanks.

In the lower left corner of the main menu, click the "i" button. In the window that pops up, there will be a "Saved games" row - click the folder icon to the right of that row.
