Loading a Game - [RBP Help Contents]
You can (re)load a game that was previously saved: from the File menu, choose Open Game. If the game had not been completed, you may resume playing it.
LOCAL vs. ONLINE
Use the pull-down menus to switch between accessing your saved games locally (on your device's hard drive or other storage device) or online (cloud storage). To employ online storage you need File Transfer Protocol (FTP) access to an online storage site of your preference. Online storage is useful if you want to access your saved games from any of multiple devices on which you play RBP.
When you choose Switch to Online for the first time, RBP will prompt you to enter FTP specifics: site, username, password, etc. If you need to know the proper information for your site, contact your FTP service provider. The information you enter is preserved across sessions in a simple encrypted form via the RBP.INI file. If you leave the password field blank, RBP will not save it into RBP.INI but instead will prompt you to enter it each session.
As part of the FTP transfer process, RBP employs a temporary file saved in the Autosave location you specify via the Game Options window.
FROM WEB
If the saved game is stored online but you do not have FTP access, you can load the game directly by entering the full URL, starting with http:// or https://
Similarly, if a saved game URL is displayed in a browser, you can double-click on it to open it with RBP. Before doing so, in RBP use the File, Create File Association pull-down menu so as to associate RBP with its saved game and map files. If that feature fails, note that some versions of Windows require you to establish such an association manually. Search online for instructions for your operating system version.
MISSING MAP
Stored with a saved game is the name of the map on which the game is played. When you load a game that employs an alternate map, RBP will automatically attempt to load that map. If that alternate map cannot be found, you will not be able to load and resume the game.
