Saved Multiplayer games?

Thu Aug 07, 2003 4:06 am by jaykup

I used to run my own server for a while and let my friends play. I had about 7 or 8 accounts on it including mine, but when I had to uninstall the game and format, I made a backup of my Documents and later found out the saved games were in a folder in there. Well taht was good news, but Now when I join the server, I have to start a new charactor and I cant play off my old one. Is there any way I can play on my old name again? I have the account still, and I can see it in the server options on the server its self, but I cant load it from a game. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

Did you check your Multiplayer ID? If you reinstall, you should write down the one you originally had (you can find it by running myflaccountid.hta in the exe folder) if you want to retain your identity on all servers. You can enter it when you install the game instead of accepting a random one.

But, if you can see the account and ID #s in the server menu, you COULD try entering each of those MP ids when you install the game, until you find the exact one you were using. The name of each account, the string of numbers and letters, is the MP ID of the person who logged in. If you played on your server one should be your old one, and if only a few people played on the server it shouldn't take too long to find.
