Title: how to transfer all my configs files ?
Post by: aomao on March 19, 2008, 08:02:13 AM
Hi everyone.
I copied all my home's openarena files from my PC to anotherone, but all my prefs and downloaded MODS are not there...
How can i recover all my prefs and mods from a PC to another ?
it's confusing.

What operating system do you use?

Are your mods installed manually or with auto-download?

Config files and autodownloads are always stored in the home/aplication data folder but manually installed maps and mods are usually installed in the games own folder.

Thanks for your help, I have win XP and my mods have been auto-dowloaded.
And i still don't know how to do, also i'm a bad english spoker so i didn't understand what do you mean when you talked about "Config files and autodownloads are always stored in the home/aplication data folder" has i don't have an english Operating system, maybe it's a bit different isn't it ?.
I still don't see where my config file is stored.

OA stores its configs and maps on your system drive:
you find there a folder "Documents and Settings/YOURUSERNAME/Application Data/OpenArena" simply translate this... and it should work :)
There you find the baseoa folder and all the mods. just copy your cfg into the folder in which it should be used.
