I cannot find any "userdata" file

Post by Earworthm »

... but when I load a map in the editor, it is supposed to be in this "userdata" file. Using the research, I don't find any of the maps I have created, despite the fact I've created some.
The proble is that I wish creating new eras/factions, but cannot modify the "core" file, so I'm looking for the "userdata".
I am on windows vista, wesnoth 1.4.5.

You're in luck, someone else with the same OS had the same problem. I direct you here.

Sorry I still have a problem :oops:

Where do I find the "users" section?
You've guess, I'm not a fond of informatics at all...

It might not actually say your name, but rather the name you gave the computer. Like if I was looking on my computer, it would say User, but rather:

OK, I see.

I found it, but I have no 'local' file.

It looks like I'm a genuine god damn n00b :geek:

Well, no matter, I'll try to survive.

Earth, try the directions listed in this thread.

Sorry I can't be of more direct help, but I don't have Vista or even a Windows system, so I'm just searching the forums and the web.

EDIT: Basically, you can't find the Local file because you're looking for the Appsdata file, which is a hidden directory, so make sure you turn it on that you can see those. You can use the directions posted here to get around that.
