    Buildings are saved server side, so they are saved on whatever computer is hosting the server. If you built them on one of the The-Construct servers (TX, BC, Other TX...) then you can't really get a copy of the save files, but I think they get backed up already.

    If your buildings were made on your own server, they should be in gamedata/construction/buildings/
  • BBazak
    ah so there is no way to get someone to send me a copy?
  • NaosythNaosyth
    You might be able to get Krash to send you a copy, if you can get in contact with him.

    Can't you upload to TC.net, get the url of the file, and copy+paste the text?
  • NaosythNaosyth
    Maybe, but I've never tried that, so I don't know how to do it.

    I just asked Humans ingame about xfering saves between servers and that is possible. So I don't see why you couldn't get it emailed to you if someone is super nice. :P

    As far as uploading to TC [dot] net goes I think that is just so that you can move it between BC and TX and whatever. I'm not sure if you can download it from your forums account or anything.

    How to get local files of your buildings saved on the TX/BC servers:
    1) Type /connect *Auth Code #* while in the server (it's located under your forum login info --top right of screen)

    2) Save your building on the TX/BC server

    3) upload your building (same as you would if you wanted to load it on the other TC server)

    4) After the building is uploaded a link will appear in chat:
    http://the-construct.net/buildings/[Your GUID]/[Upload Slot].cs

    5) Type that URL save for the 'building slot number.cs' into your browser.
    It should be: http://the-construct.net/buildings/[Your GUID]

    6) Right click the building file you want on your computer and select "Save link as"

    7) Open the text document you downloaded in notepad and save it as a ".cs" file.

    8) You're done!

    Good post. This should be made into it's own thread and stickied.

    If you need to find out your GUID, easiest way is to go on BC or TX, and type /whois (your name)

  • SouliceSoulice
    I think I should also add Iplop's way to get files.

    The building name is in the file's header. :p

    It is done to keep BB (bulletin boards) from parsing URLs.
    I hate Parsed URLs, aka, I hate periods.

    Normally people use [dot] in e-mail addresses to stop bots from picking them out and spamming them. Soulice's use is redundant though and I feel he is just trying to look clever...
