Validation and saving - JakeKen25/Privateer GitHub Wiki
Validate
Validate checks the loaded campaign's supported structure and references, including fleet and design links. Read any reported errors before saving. Passing validation checks file consistency; it does not guarantee that every edited scenario will behave as intended in RTW3.
Save
Save writes applied changes to the currently loaded folder. With Create backups enabled, it retains a complete copy of the original folder and reports the backup location. Wait for the success message.
Keep RTW3 closed during the edit. If Privateer reports that source files changed on disk, reload the campaign and review your intended edits against the current files.
Save As
- Choose Save As.
- Select the parent directory for the new folder.
- Enter a new, unused folder name.
- Confirm and wait for the copy to finish.
Save As leaves the original folder unchanged. It creates a complete folder copy; it does not automatically register a new RTW3 slot or convert numbered filenames to a different slot. Keep companion files and the original slot numbering together when preparing a copy for in-game use.
