I have written a little program to back up your players folder for COD5. It will store the backups in C:\Program Files\COD5Bak and will allow you to keep multiple backups by date. Backing up this data is CRITICAL, as losing it means you start over as a buck private with no saved classes. Here is the program : ftp://uzaeagle.serveftp.com/COD5BakSetup.exe Just download and run to install. It will create icons in your start menu and on your desktop. To run the program, just double click the icon. You won't see anything much happen, but your players folder has now been saved. Note to Vista users : You will get a UAC prompt when running if you have UAC (User Access Control) turned on. Just click on "okie-dokie" to continue. To restore if you have to reinstall COD5 or get a corrupted players file you just copy the data back to the original location : Stolen from Ren's post... First you need to setup your system to see hidden files and folders: Click on the Start Menu Select Control Panel Double-click on the Folder options Select the View tab Select the option to view hidden files and folders Window Vista Go to start -> computer Double-click on C: Double-click on the users folder Double-click on a folder that has your Windows username Double-click on the AppData folder Double-click on the Local folder Double-click on the Activision folder Double-click on the CoDWaW folder Windows XP Go to start -> My Computer Double-click on C: Double-click on the Documents and Settings folder Double-click on the folder the has your Windows username Double-click on the Local Settings folder Double-click on the Application Data folder Double-click on the Activision folder Double-click on the CoDWaW folder I have written this to work on both XP and Vista, but since I don't have an XP machine with the game installed I would love any feedback from those that do. Run the program and make sure you have a C:\Program Files\COD5Bak directory, and that it contains the COD5Bak.exe program as well as the "players" folder from your game with the format "Players12-07-2008185914" where the 12-07 stuff is the date and the last 4 digits are the time. If not, let me know so I can do some more testing with someone with XP and COD5. I suspect it will work fine, but those are the famous last words. In any case it will NEVER harm your real players folder and it only copies it to a new location and never writes to it or tries to modify it. The structure of the back up is : -Players12-07-2008185914 -- Players (This whole folder is what you will copy back to restore) --- Profiles ---- YourName ----- Config.cfg ----- Config_Mp.cfg ----- mpdata Eagle |
