I am not sure this is the right place to post this (this is not about a mod altering the content of the game) but it is making more sense here then elsewhere so here i go.
With the following boron extension, i am hyped to the point that i want to re-start the game with a Boron start !
But i do not want to erase any of my precious saves (so much time invested) !
So i decided to create a little program to manage my saves.It does not modify the game saves but it transform the game save folder into a symbolic link that redirect to the save folder of my choice.
If anyone is interested, it is available at https://github.com/Nostrogo/X4Playthroughs both with binary (zip release file) and source code (so you can compile it if you don't trust the binary file)
It is a windows program, require admin right to run (symbolic link on windows require admin privileges) and require to deactivate Steam Cloud (so it does not restore old saves over a new playthrough/run).
Of course it is still a work in progress and an excuse for me to work on my C++ a little so, please be understanding. If you have any trouble with it or have any question, i'll be happy to help.
See you all in Kingdom End pretty soon

PS: if you are still interested, please back up you save files before trying anything. It should be fine but i tested it only on my machine...
