Profile Update Scripts.

[DougBob]

I lost my COD WaW profile today so I made me a wrapper .cmd file to prevent that in the future. Just download the attached start_WAW.txt file, copy it to your directory where WAW is installed and rename it to a start_WAW.cmd file.

You will need to update a few variables in it so it will know where you profiles are installed and where you want to copy the backup of the profiles too. Be advised this thing will use timestamps on the directories it copies the profile to and it will create a backup before and after you launch the game. So you will want to maintain the directory so it don't take up too much space.

Once I placed the start_WAW.cmd file in the directory with the CoDWaWmp.exe executable, since I use steam to run the game I then updated the properties on the shortcut in steam to run the start_WAW.cmd file instead and used the icon for the CoDWaWmp.exe so it would still have the look and feel of the game.

I made an update guys. I forgot the /H switch on the xcopy command for hidden files just in case.

This will be very useful. Thanks Dougbob.

I may be able to pull up a nice little solution for this dougbob that would require a lot less work.... Let me double check with the creator of the program first to see if he wants it published to the public or not....

If you are talking about Finewolf...he went public with it.

I finally lost my profile for the first time about 25 minutes ago. I had finished up about 3-4 M1 Garand challenges since I backed up at about 6:00 pm today, but that was the only loss.

On the plus side, the first (literally, the very first) full round I played after putting the profile back in, I got the Shades Challenge, which I've been trying to get for FIVE days. Nobody throws flares in this game. You should have seen me: chasing after every flaming arc coming anywhere near me like a dang fool, hoping that I'll get there when it hits ground so it would count as "at me."

Funny how gaming life sometimes works.
