By default Stars! saves to(or opens in) the last used folder. If a game is loaded when Stars! starts (via commandline options or windows file association) then the last used folder is whereever the .m file is located. If Stars! is simply opened and no files have been opened yet, the last used folder is wherever the Stars! executable file is located.

Stars! is a very old game - it does not have an install process and simply running the stars.exe file runs the game and it (mostly) doesn't matter where it is. Personally I recommend putting it in C:\Stars!\ (create the folder if necessary) and then creating sub-folders to keep each game's files in.

All you need to know about the stars.ini file you'll find here:
http://wiki.starsautohost.org/wiki/Stars.ini#Ini_file_--_sta rs. ini_.28in_the_Windows_directory.29

Maybe EoF can start translating with this page.

You will only see the backup directories *after* genning a turn. (and of course after adding the line in the stars.ini file)

Valent: Il n'y a pas de sauvegarde en tant que tel pour le jeu STARS!. Les fichiers sont d'abord sauvegardés dans le répertoire sélectionné lors de la création de la partie. Dans tout les autres cas, les fichiers sont sauvegardés dans le même répertoire que celui duquel tu as partis le tour à jouer.

Pour garder des backups, du dois toi même sauvegarder chaque tour au minimum les fichiers .m, .x, .h et .xy dans un même répertoire. Tu pourra ensuire double-cliquer sur le fichier .m pour lancer automatiquement STARS! et charger ce tour en particulier. Si jamais STARS! ne part pas automatiquement, tu peux associer le fichier .m# a STARS! en le sélectionnant a partir de son emplacement dans ton ordinateur.

Si tu ne veux pas créer ces backups toi même, tu as aussi l'option de trouver le fichier STARS.ini dans le répertoire source de Windows, de l'éditer (avec Notepad ou n'importequel programe d'édition de texte) et d'ajouter "Backups=#" dans la section "Misc" en fin de fichier. # doit être un numéro, et ce nombre sera utilisé pour savoir combien de tours de backup tu veux. Quand le nombre de tours deviens plus grand que le nombre # que tu as choisis, les backups recommencent au premier répertoire et écrase la première année archivée. Donc je suggère que tu sélectionne un chiffre plus grand que 100.

Si tu as d'autre questions, je t'invite a m'envoyer un message privée. Sinon Micha nous tappera sur les doigts.
