Moving data from PC based game to MAC game (save games)?

[sun.spot]

Is it possible for me to move my saved game data from my PC based game to my mac based version? I just updated my mac version to the latest (3.1) and decided I wanted to try X out on that platform.

But of course now I'd have to start from scratch which is a bit of a bummer.

Any suggestions as to what file I might be able to move over that has all the saved game data?

I looked at the data folder and it wasn't completely obvious to me.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know anything about what file system the mac uses but I don't think it uses the same one as Windows.. Sorry I couldn't help

The location of your savegames is explained in this FAQ entry. Whether they will be compatible or not is another matter and I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that. Nor do I know where the Mac version keeps its savegames, so I can't tell you where to put the savegame files.

This was super helpful!

I found the equivalent save spot under my home directory/Library/Application Support/X3 - Terran Conflict/GameDocuments/Egosoft/X3TC/save

Now I haven't actually tried to move data files over yet (I will first make a copy of the directory so nothing gets completely munged, but hopefully this should work fine if the data is saved in the same way to a vanilla envelope.

Let's see!

Incidentally I had previously been running X3 through Windows 7 installed with Parallels on my iMac, which actually worked superbly. But if I can run it natively on the mac, all the better I suspect.

Thanks again, will let folks know if this works.

Worked! So you can definitely move your save games between the Mac and Windows 7 versions. This is great.

Worth knowing - thanks for the update!

Worth putting in the FAQ IMO.

Actually also the bit by Nanook/HeikoGO815 at the end of this would need to be in the FAQ too.
