How to Save Linerider 2 Track Data to Thumb Drive

13 February 2009 24 Comments

LineRider
I spent my entire computer class today creating a LineRider 2 track (which was pretty amazing haha), but I was a little frustrated when I had to log off and go to the next class because I would lose all of my data. The computers at my school have “deep freeze” software installed, which restores the computer to a certain state every time the computer is rebooted (almost like a system restore). This means the data that I saved on that computer’s internal memory would be erased and I would lose my LineRider save.

I looked into where the data was stored when saving a game on LineRider 2 and I decided I would copy the files onto a thumb drive so I could restore a save no matter where I was or what computer I was on.

To save your LineRider 2 track onto a thumb drive (assuming you have already drawn a track and saved it within the flash game) (for Windows users), follow these easy steps:

  1. First, make sure you have saved your LineRider 2 track.
  2. Next, in Windows Explorer, go to: C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects (Replace YOURUSERNAMEHERE with your computer username).
  3. Now there should be one folder in that folder. Browse into it.
  4. Next, click on the folder of the domain name that your LineRider flash game is on.
  5. Within that folder, there should be a file called “savedLines.sol” in it. Copy that onto your thumb drive or wherever you wish.

You have successfully saved your track.

To restore a save, follow these steps:

  1. In your web browser, visit a website with LineRider 2.
  2. Next, wait on the start screen (Do not click Play yet).
  3. Now, in Windows Explorer, go to: C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects (Replace YOURUSERNAMEHERE with your computer username)
  4. Now there should be one folder in that folder. Browse into it.
  5. Next, click on the folder of the domain name that your LineRider flash game is on.
  6. Locate the “savedLines.sol” file on your external device (or wherever you saved it in the first set of steps)
  7. Copy that file into the folder of the domain name of your flash game.
  8. Finally, go back to the website and click “Play”. Now you can load your game like normal.

You have successfully restored a LineRider 2 save.

You can do this on any computer that can play LineRider 2. Now you can work on your LineRider track wherever you are.

Here is a small creation of mine while in computer class (I just started it): http://download44.mediafire.com/29g1z0xkndmg/jnnngzj4gmf/linerider.avi

        You will need access to the hard drive to be able to manipulate the files, otherwise I’m not sure how you could.

                                    It took me a while to look around all the comments, however I actually loved the topic that you simply chose. It looked to be very helpful to me and I am bound to all of the other people who have checked out this blog, It’s all the time good when your not simply informed, however your also entertained! I’m positive you had fun writing this article. I’m going to seize your rss feed so I don’t miss anything fundamental that you guys might as well get a hold of in the future, Thanks.
