Hi. I'm thinking of making a new elma dir and finish all the levels again. this is a good way of lower your TT. So now to the question.
If i have to state.dat and want all the best times to be saved in one of them. with the same name and things like that. how should i do?
Putting together two state.dat
Moderator: Moporators
This option is included in Elma. Just put them both in the Elma dir and rename one of them to "merge.dat". Then run and exit Elma, and you should be done if I remember correctly from the readme file.
PS. This should have been in the "problems" forum.

There is a tiny bug in this action. If you have same times in state.dats only the other time will be stored.
Sample:
state.dat
Warm Up:
14,30
14,31
14,32
14,33
14,34
14,35
14,36
14,37
14,38
14,39
merge.dat
14,30
14,31
14,42
14,43
14,44
14,45
14,46
14,47
14,48
14,49
The result should be:
14,30

14,31
14,32
14,33

readme.txt wrote:Merging best times from two games
If you and your friend for example have two copies of the game on
two different computers, you can merge your best times by copying
one state.dat file from one computer to the directory of the game
on the other computer by the name, 'merge.dat'.
Each time the program starts it looks for the file merge.dat and if
it finds one, it merges its best times information into state.dat.
(One best time won't be imported multiple times into state.dat even
if you leave merge.dat in the game directory and start the game
many times.)
You cannot merge a registered state.dat file into the shareware
version.
