Savegame from promo to paid

Post by JoeTheDino »

Hello ladies and gentlemens,

If you plan going from promo to paid but you don't know how to keep your savegame.

Here is how:

You need:

  1. A rooted (not sure if root is needed) device

  2. Carmageddon promo installed

  3. Carmageddon paid installed

Download "Root explorer" on Google Play (if anybody with an unrooted device could tell me if it's working with "es file explorer")

Open your file explorer

go to "data/data/com.stainlessgames.carmageddonpromo/files/"

long press on "CarmaSaveGame", Copy.

go to "data/data/com.stainlessgames.carmageddon/files/"

"Paste"

Hope it'll help.

My phone is rooted and ES Explorer will work for the copy-n-paste method as well.

I believe non-rooted phones will need a workaround like installing Titanium Backup and then backing up both games and manually renaming the data backup from the promo to the paid version. STH like that. Haven't tried it though!

TitaniumBackup does the same thing and as a result also requires root. I really can't think of a solution other than a quick update to Promo before its removed to allow moving to SD and an import feature in the full version.

I haven't really bothered rooting my current phone because this time I didn't see any good reason why. But in order to transfer my save, I probably will have to, hehe. Oh well, let's say it's for the good cause.

Thanks for the tip. Luckily I am already rooted.

By the way anything special between promo and paying version?

So seriously the only way to get my save from the promo version into the paid version is to root my device?

Yes. Only the irony is, at least with my HTC devices, that rooting resets the phone. This means that the savegame you try to backup will also be wiped during the rooting process. So either root your phone and start over with the option to back-up the savegame, or continue gaming and hoping that Stainless will release a backup tool.

Honestly I was ready to buy the full version even though I own the promo version, but this is kind of a dealbreaker for me. I'm not going to root my phone for the ability to transfer a savegame.

Honestly, why is the savegame not just in a user-accesible folder?

I haven't tried it my self yet, but there is a way to get access to data folder without root.
