Now you can play creeper world off your memory stick anywhere without loosing your save data or maps!

This works by moving the save data and maps from the memory stick onto the save data location the game uses, and after the game closes it moves the save data back to the memory stick. To use it, just place it in the creeper World folder and run this instead of the game. It will start the game when the save data has been moved to the local machine. The first run will tell you no save data was found, press yes to continue

UPDATES

-Fixed issues with saving save data within save data, 1/17/2010
-Cleaned up code for easier reading

Version 1.1 (current): Download (http://www.mediafire.com/?mmjyzahkjm5),Source (http://www.mediafire.com/?2jlonhntmti)

Thats why I have SOURCE CODE there. You think its a keylogger, look through the source and look. I know its not a keylogger; I use this myself, and I would appreciate it if you would at least take a look at it before you instantly say its malicious.

If anyone sees any odd behavior in this script notify me ASAP. It is written in AutoIt and packed with UPX.

Let me ask you this: How do we know the program (source code) is the same as the executable?

And more questions. The save data location is different in Windows XP, Windows Vista and Win 7. Which one does your code work with?

All you have is my word. If that is not enough, you can get au32exe.exe from the autoit site (www.autoitscript.com (http://www.autoitscript.com)) and compile it yourself. just rename the .txt file to .au3
Since I gave source you can also modify it to suit your needs.

It is different? Oh.....

I made it on, and it currently works on windows 7 and vista. If someone were kind enough to tell me where the save data is stored on xp, or even if it works on xp, that would be appreciated.

I have noticed an error in the code that will cause the save data to have copies of itself in itself.  ???

the problem was I kept putting a space in creeper world, when it is actually stored in "C:\Users\" & @UserName & "\AppData\Roaming\CreeperWorld" - there is no space.

This problem has been fixed and an updated version will be uploaded shortly.

I guess this program is ok... if you're too much of a lazy ass to not be able to copy the game directory to a flash drive O.o

I have been using it for a while now and the only thing i could think of adding is option to turn off the tray tips. Any other option requests / suggestions?

alot of stupid people making AV seem to flag any file in UPX.  Reason?  Somebody made a virus and coded it in UPX, therefore all files in UPX are a virus.  Somebody needs to take them out and shoot them.  I had AV call VNC remote desktop a virus too.  Absolutely amazing how people that dumb work for AV companies.

UPX is?

Also, amazing how you call them stupid, yet they actually prevent virusses you cant find yourself, its the same deal with Cheat Engine, its virus flagged. Im pretty sure norton or so companies flag Windows as a virus too   ::)
