I wasn't sure where to post about this topic, so if its in the wrong place then feel free to move it to where it belongs.
I have used(lurked) the forums for a long time, and now have decided to begin posting and helping where and when I can.
To start with I have begun to create a batch file that auto restores backed up saves(with user interaction), along with backing them up first all automatically.
The auto restore is used with the users interactions, meaning they choose which version of minecraft they use and want to restore. This is more for people that run modded versions and multiple versions at once.
the auto back up is fully automatic after initial setup.
The batch file isn't complete but wanted to put a post about it to see what the community of minecraft thinks of what I have been working on.
Here is a sample of the auto restore batch file that I have so far:
:RestMenu
echo ### This is where you can restore a saved game from a backed up
echo ### saved game.
echo ### Able to restore just one version or multiple at once
echo ### Note if doing all versions, that it may take a long time
echo ### depending how many worlds and versions you have.
rem
echo ### Restore Options
rem
echo ### 1. Minecraft 1.2.5
echo ### 2. Minecraft 1.3.2
echo ### 3. Minecraft 1.4.2
echo ### 4. Minecraft 1.4.5
echo ### 5. Minecraft 1.5.2
echo ### 6. Main Menu
set /p Rchoices=### Choose one of the options by number 1 to 6
if /i "%Rchoices%"=="1" goto :Rest125
if /i "%Rchoices%"=="2" goto :Rest132
if /i "%Rchoices%"=="3" goto :Rest142
if /i "%Rchoices%"=="4" goto :Rest145
if /i "%Rchoices%"=="5" goto :Rest152
if /i "%Rchoices%"=="6" goto :MainMenu
I will be updating the post with the links to the batch file as soon as I have the files complete. Any feed back or suggestions are welcome. Just send me a message or reply to this thread.
