restore deleted saves

  • oldstones     3rd Jul 2016 Member 0 Permalink

    I accidentally deleted a save of mine, Catapult Game II, and am hoping that there is a way of restoring/recovering the save.
    I think the id is  ID:1655747.  That is the ID i get when I click on the games link on my homepage #2.
    I did google "How to undelete save", and various permutations of the same querie, but to no success.
    Any help or info will be much appreciated.

    Tusen takk.

    You shouldn't delete saves ): if you accidentally mess it up (which it seems you did), you can do history:1655747 in the search bar to see all the previous versions.

    I couldn't find any versions or copies of it on the server. I think jacksonmj found the save in a server backup though. Maybe he'll post it.

    Thank you for responding, jacob1.

    What I seem to have done, though I'm not sure how, was to delete the entire history of the save, rather than the one save I had just, inadvertently, uploaded after playing the game.  (The reload and upload buttons are so, so close, one to the other!)

    Operator error, no doubt. :/

    jacksonmj, if you're reading this....
    Pretty, pretty please, could you resurrect my poor, lost save?  I miss it so much.

    Takk.

     Umm....  I thank you both, jacob1, jacksonmj,  for digging up my lost save.  However, I've not been able to figure out how to use/open the file you sent me. I did put it into the saves file, but it didn't work.
    Is it possible that's because I run a linux os, not swindlows?  If so, is there a special way of adding it into my TPT file so's to get it back on line? Or, is there a different file type that I need?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Put it in the "Saves" folder, that works just fine. You can also press ctrl+i to "install" TPT and then the .cps file will open right in TPT.
