yea the file forums are up well anyways i was bored so i made a program that read 6 locations 1 for multiplayer map backups 1 for shared.map 1 for singleshared.map backups and the other 3 for where to overwrite to.
uses an ini file for location u must change them for this to work and dont forget to add a "\" on the end.
i also made because i have my backup and modding maps seperate by quite a few folders so with this i dont need to.
note: wait till u get a msgbox "complete" before opening map.
edit: oops lol forgot the .ini file
editagain:
wat this does is backs up original maps by using the ones in ur backup folder(come one doesnt everyone have) with the click of a button.

Please use proper spelling and grammar, so people can actually understand what this does.
Edit: So all it does is make a copy of the maps. Who needs a program when they could right click and make a copy.

what he basically means is like
he made a program to backup your maps faster
so you have to edit this file to the locations your maps are and where they will be created and you open up the program and click whatever map and it will be backed up in that location you chose to back it up , my english sucks too

nonono ok it reads the maps from given directory loaded from savespot.ini and copys it to other given directory and confirms(just incase u dont wanna). it's spost to save time going between directorys to back up maps

Props on the program, but Ill still just:
Select maps
Right click > copy
Go to other directory
Right click > paste
Probably faster than editing an ini and running a program. Still, good job from a programming view.

You can also back up all your maps at once copy and pasting.

I wish that made sense. I will give you credit for at least responding, regardless of the fact it was just as pointless as your original post.
However, if you think about it, its more effort to Ctrl+C/V, since your hand is already on the mouse.
