How to take my Build templates (mods?) to my new computer?

SamSon

Well, perhaps we all have build templates we like to use.

How to move them from comp 1 to comp 2?

I have a valid FAF account on Steam and on Downlords client works fine, no problems, just like to take some stuff with me...

I can just download the mods again, but a little more effort for the Build Templates.

Did I say "Build templates"?

That will work. I paste the whole file too cos you get your hotkeys too. Then backup your prefs file because that thing is worth gold.

Agreed! Tested and works

Games Prefs can be found at:
path: %localappdata%\gas powered games\supreme commander forged alliance\

(as stated in the link above).

I can't see the game.prefs file as stated in the above link. Anyone able to confirm if FAF Client has its own game.prefs file somewhere?

Open the FAF Client

Go to the "Hamburger Button" at top left - what is a hamburger button? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_button

Select "show game.prefs file"

Alternate method if you don't want to mess with game prefs:

Make a new sandbox game, pick a big map with lots of space

(optional: turn on cheats, set speed to +4 or variable. Just use cheats to get lots of mass and energy, don't use cheats to place buildings)

Build all of your templates

End the match

On the new computer:

Play the replay file

Step in to your own point of view

Select each of the things you built and choose "make template"

End the replay

You will have the templates saved, they will be there the next time you start playing

This is also an easy way to share templates between different players
