Export & Import maps on multiple devices

#1

Post by bradm413 »

I tried searching these forums but didn't find anything on this. Forgive me if this has already been answered elsewhere.

Is it possible to export a city map (or maps) from one device to another? I would like to play the same map on my phone, tablet & PC. I just bought the game on Steam, so I don't want to have 3 separate games going.

Thanks!

I wouldn't recommend copying the entire TheoTown folder to another device for use, except as a backup. To play the same map on different devices, just copy the mapname.city file from the maps folder to the TheoTown/maps folder on the different devices.

Thank you both for your replies. I found some files that appear to be the correct .city files on my Android phone. None of the file names match my city name, though. Also, I see the same named files on my PC as what is on my phone, so is it ok to just overwrite the ones on my PC? Example: 7_4.city is on both devices already, but the one on my phone should be the city I'm looking for.

Yes, it's OK. As long as the maps are the same size. :)
