The last couple of days I've heard that there's some misunderstanding about player profiles between different versions. So here's my explanation how this player profile thing works:
A player profile is a combination of the player name you've entered on the first screen, and a timestamp (and perhaps other stuff, but I'm not a dev, so I don't know.).
This means that, for example, you can create a player called 'Tim' on your own computer, but you still can't edit my holds because your player file 'Tim' is not my player file 'Tim'.
That also means, that when you create a _new_ player on GatEB with the same name as in TCB, they are _not_ the same player file!
For most players that doesn't matter much, since they don't do any architecture, but if you made holds in TCB on a TCB player file, and you didn't copy that file to GatEB, you won't be able to edit your TCB holds
But anyway, it's always nice to have your TCB progress into GatEB, so I'm going to describe how you should do it:
A) If you don't have created a new player file yet in GatEB:
1) Go back to TCB, and export your player by selecting "
Change Player"
and save your file by pressing the "
Export"
button.
2) At the first screen, press the "
Import"
button, and import the saved file in 1.
3) If you have CaravelNet, then get a new CaravelNet key from the forum and use that in the game.
4) If you want all your progress, import all the hold you have progress with.
5) Import your player file again to get all your progress back.
B) If you've already created a new player in GatEB, but you'd rather use the old player from TCB instead (because your holds were made in TCB):
1) Rename your current player in GatEB into something different , to make sure this new one has a different name.
2) If you don't have any progress in GatEB or you don't mind playing again with your old player profile, then just proceed with part
A)
3) Go back to TCB, and export your player by selecting "
Change Player"
and save your file by pressing the "
Export"
button.
3a) If you want all your progress, import all the hold you have progress with.
4) Import your old TCB player.
5) Select your "
different name"
player, and Select "
Export Saves Only"
. Save this file somewhere.
5) Merge this file with your old TCB player. Select your old TCB player, then press "
Import"
and select the file in the previous point.
6) You can request a new CaravelNet key if you have CaravelNet.
PS. Always keep a backup copy of your player file! It's useful in case your DROD installation is doing something weird, you need that player file to edit your holds!
