GGMAX DEVTEST - Accessing Projects after a Clean Install

[OldFlak]

There is always some point where you need to perform a clean install - perhaps of your whole system. So this can create an issue when wanting to access your Project again.

These files are required in the Documents/GameGuruApps/GamGuruMAX/FIles/projectbank for MAX to be able find it

• project folder eg "Naelurec - Moltaren Mysteries" Inside that folder
• remoteproject text file with location of project eg "D:\My Projects\

So re-creating that file allows MAX to find your projects - simple 👍

However the HUB will have no description about the game

When you look at the "Edit Project Settings" window within StoryBoard it still has all the info but it will not show in the HUB even if you edit it again.

Thanks for checking

@OldFlak Fixed for the next DEVTEST build, it seems remote projects NEVER read from the correct project.dat file via the HUB. Now they will, which means you can simply copy your remote project header folder (i.e. "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\GameGuruApps\GameGuruMAX\Files\projectbank\REMO2\remoteproject.txt") into a fresh install of the writables and you are good to go. Maybe you can create a feature request that can automate/improve this process so users do not have to keep bouncing around Windows Explorer deleting any old files :)

Hi @LeeBamberTGC ok getting there but only partially fixed

So copying the 'remoteproject.txt' as specified the description shows and can be edited which also updates in the HUB

But the image in the HUB doesn't show up unless I copy the "screen_Naelurec - Moltaren Mysteries_Title Screen512x288" over as well.

But when I edit the image via "Game Project Settings" it doesn't get updated

Thanks for checking

@OldFlak That's odd, MAX should not place anything in the "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\GameGuruApps\GameGuruMAX\Files\projectbank\YourProject" folder except the "remoteproject.txt" file, did you add this file yourself? All project files should be located in the path specified in "remoteproject.txt". Maybe you can email me a zip of the remote project folder (i.e. at "C:\Dropbox\MyMAXProjects\YourProject\Files\projectbank" or wherever you placed your remote folder).

Hi @LeeBamberTGC Yes, I placed it there just to test. So, I copied the image file to the "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\GameGuruApps\GameGuruMAX\Files\projectbank\Naelurec - Moltaren Mysteries" folder to see if it would show the image in the HUB, and it does.

If the image only exists in the Project location then it doesn't show in the HUB at all.

In both cases editing the image doesn't fix it either.

Email sent :)

Thanks for checking :)

@OldFlak Emailed you about the project zips you sent. Can I confirm when you used the EDIT button to SELECT AN IMAGE, you chose the image from the imagebank folder area or from the remote "projectbank" folder?

Hi @LeeBamberTGC

The images are stored in imagebank within the project

Thanks for reply :)
