Game data
Configuration file(s) location
System | Location |
---|---|
Windows | C:\timwin.ini C:\SIGNIN.RES |
Mac OS (Classic) |
- All files are stored in the root of the installation partition by default.
-
timwin.ini
contains settings. -
SIGNIN.RES
contains the most recent player name.
The location of configuration files can be overridden by creating sierra.ini in %windir%. Within this file, you can specify the location of configuration files:
[TimWin]
InstallPath=C:\MyTimFiles
In theory, it's possible to have a separate path for every user on the computer, by creating a registry key (described here) like this (reboot required):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\sierra.ini]
TimWin=#USR:Software\Sierra\TimWin
Using this, each user could specify their own path by creating a value under
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sierra\TimWin]
InstallPath=C:\Users\WiffleMoose\Documents\TimWin
Unfortunately, there does not appear to be an easy way to automate this (like using %APPDATA%) such that each user doesn't have to manually create this key.
Save game data location
System | Location |
---|---|
Windows | C:\*.TIM C:\TIM.SAV |
Mac OS (Classic) |
- All files are stored in the root of the installation partition.
- Save files are
*.TIM
(saves can also be saved in other locations). -
TIM.SAV
contains players and progress details.
