Is there any way to backup the player rank information?

[S-22]

Which files or registration information are needed to backup the player rank status?

Thanks.

Just copy the entire "players" folder to a safe place and you back up singleplayer saves and multiplayer rank.

I am using this batchfile to backup my files:

@echo off & setlocal
: Name: Start Multiplayer CoD4 und sichere vorher das Profil
: Created By: Ulf aka [DOOZER]Horrid
: Home: http://www.doozer-clan.de
: Version 1.4
: Datum 01.12.2007

: Spielvzerzeichnis
set Spielverzeichnis="%ProgramFiles%\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare"

: Sicherungsordner
set Sicherungsordner="%ProgramFiles%\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\Backup"

: Profilname
set ProfileName=Horrid

: Anzahl der Tage, die gesichert werden soll
set /a Anzahl=3

: Datum und Zeit fuer den Dateinamen
for /F "tokens=1,2,3,4,5 delims=/. " %%a in ('date/T') do set datum=%%c%%d-%%b-%%a
for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=/: " %%a in ('time/T') do set zeit=%%a%%b

: In das Spiellaufwerk wechseln
cd /D %SystemDrive%

: Dateien sichern
echo D|xcopy %Spielverzeichnis%\players\profiles\%ProfileName%\ config_mp.cfg %Sicherungsordner%\%datum%\%zeit%_config_mp.cfg
echo D|xcopy %Spielverzeichnis%\players\profiles\%ProfileName%\ mpdata %Sicherungsordner%\%datum%\%zeit%_mpdata

: Alte Sicherungsordner loeschen
cd %Sicherungsordner%
for /F "skip=%Anzahl% delims=" %%i in ('dir /b /ad /o-d') do rd /s /q "%%i"

: In das Spielverzeichnis wechseln
cd %Spielverzeichnis%

: Multiplayer starten
start iw3mp.exe


But be careful, this script is done for german date and time format. So i don't know, if it works correct with others.

with best regards

Or you can just drag the folder to the backupfolder of your choosing and overwrite :p

But has anyone got their backups to restore?

I'm getting ready to move to a new system and the final burn in, is about finished so I will be moving CoD4 over to the new box (MB/CPU/Hard drive - upgrade).

[BoSBrian]

Restore works fine. I even changed my name and kept all of my rank/unlocks.

[DeFeCT]

yes, when you changed system, install the game and then copy the backup "players" folder to the game again, and you have all ranks and stuff again

[rudedog]

Cool, thanks guys have been putting this off but it needs to be done.

(wife will now get her desk back :hand: )

The good thing now, hopefully! -- is with the first patch we dont have to worry as much about losing our stats if we bounce between ranked and unranked servers. None the less, I make it a policy to back up my profile folder. JUST IN CASE! :)

[DSK]

has anyone shared the backup with another install of the game? I wonder if it will work as long as the profile name is the same. Be nice to be able to travel with it on my laptop.

[rudedog]

I just moved to a new install on another hard drive after upgrading MB and CPU.

Second hard drive was exact same as my main drive, it just allowed me to burn in the MB and CPU before switching out.

I moved the profile directory, had to redo the resolution settings and I was good to go.

Thank you guys for the information. :salute:

Anyone know where the players folder is in vista? It isn't there.

Don't quote me on it 100% but I believe you CAN do that. Maybe someone else who has done it can confirm.
