Save game manager
« on: September 20, 2014, 03:30:23 pm »


               I've upgraded my desktop and have nwn installed again. With so many saved games with different toons that I am losing track of who is where. I thought I saw a mod to filter saved games by toon once, but cannot find it now. Anyone have an idea of a useful mod or extension?

               Or sort entries by title in the load screen would also help

TBH, I never read or heard about any manager that extracted data from the save file.  I see none like that on the new Vault projects list (yet! if one DOES exist).  I remember a character manager that would save you the trouble of deleting all but the latest version of each toon, but nothing like you mention. Seems it would be easy to do


 


Your dilemma is one of the reasons I always type an abbreviation for the applicable toon name as part of the save description.  It's fool-proof as far as that goes.  Descriptions can become somewhat cryptic, though, if you play the same toon in several extended campaign-type modules at the same time. In that case, I make up a text doc in the save folder that decodes my chicken scratches.


 


If you can figure out what all the utilities do without any descriptions provided, perhaps http://neverwinterva...lity-collection may contain what you need.  Hope you cast clairvoyance on yourself before attempting it though. '<img'>

Thanks for the link, Hip!  Tried that list and then searched around more broadly, but think that if that utility ever existed it is now lost.. I do keep the toon names in the descriptions, and fortunately only have them in one campaign at a time.  Will just need to open the ones that have fallen down on the list and make more recent saves!
