If you have 3 GTA games installed, do they all share the same main.scm file, because i found one under the san andreas user files, but i could not find any under the GTA3 or the Vice City User files. please help. i'm trying to figure out how to locate the files with no luck. thanks.

No, the main.scm in the data folder in the installation folder of the game. So as long as (obviously) the games are all installed in diffrent areas, the you will ahve no problems with the main.scm. The save dirrectory only contains saves and settings, not the game script. wink.gif. There also shouldn't be a main.scm in the SA Savegames Directory.

 

Good luck icon14.gif

I've told you at least three times now. The main.scm file is found in *install directory*\data. So if you've got three installed, each install directory has its own data folder, and thus main.scm.

 

Reading the relevant pinned topic - as advised multiple times - might do some good, eh?

Backup your /data/main.scm
in itself indicates the location of the file.

 

I was going to merge this with the Code Tool topic, but hell, maybe it'll stand a higher chance of you actually following advice if we keep it as simple as possible. confused.gif

It depends on where you installed the game into during installation. It's normally installed to "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City" Then the main.scm is located in "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\data". smile.gif

By default: 'C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\'.

 

User files are saved games and other miscellaneous settings indigenous to a speficic user/install. Hence their location of My Documents - each user on Windows XP and indeed each individual's computer will have different files in this folder.

 

[EDIT] For the record, posted at the same time as jarjar.
