Nope, haven't played that one yet--but I wanted to check. I know we do have members who have finished the game so hopefully, one of them will stop in.

Bets, I've never played around in game files so I would be loath to tell you how. Have you asked the computer to search for a File named "level"?

I found this from a link on the first page:
Quote:
ok that is easy for this game.

go to C:\My Games\Around the World in 80 Days

inside that there is a folder called "base"

inside that folder is a file called "gameinfo.xml"

open that file with something like word pad or notepad.

and find your profile name and then look for "lives=" and change the number of lives.

save and exit and go to start game.

have fun with those lives you will need them.


This should be the general area where you can add more time. Yu would look for time as opposed to lives. Have you already tried that?

Menahune, I still can't find any help for you on the web. luck

Looney is right on how to change the number of lives, but I never managed to find out how to get extra time.

Rosaboomie,

Look back through this thread for a message from me. There is a different file call "level" that is you can change the time allotment for each level. If you increase the number into the thousands you will have plenty of time for that level. You need to change the time for each level and then save the file. You should have plenty of time then.

It worked for me.

Hey you guys, I can not find the file you all are talking about. I opened Word Pad then opened 80 Days, opened base. There was no file called "gameinfo" Am I doing something wrong that I can't find it?

Bets

Edit: Question. For all of you who were able to set the time and levels, did you buy the game or download the free game? I downloaded mine as a free game of the day.

Flutist - Go into your folder called Around the World in 80 Days, and then open up the folder named Base. Lots and lots of subfolders in this folder set out in alphabetical order. Go about half way down the page and you will see a sub folder called gameinfo.xml. Then right click and it should say "Open with". Hope this helps.

HOWEVER I tried to change the timer and lives this morning and oops....now I am unable to play the game. The game fully loads but it just will not play. I think I may have somehow corrupted this sub-folder. With hindsight, maybe I should have copied this folder before I messed around with it. Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!

Any ideas anyone - other than downloading the whole darn game yet again, as I am now over my 1GB per month allowance!!

Well done Flutist - I knew you would get there LOL - It also took me a while to find this game info folder.

Have you got to the part in the puzzle yet with those annoying stone walls??? You will have great fun with them, especially in the levels beyond Day 70!

Did you get through it on your own, or did you manage to change the time?

I just tried to do a Restore, Looney, but sadly it didnt work. I wonder if I can copy the gameinfo folder from my laptop to my desktop, and just substitute the file??

Rosa, try asking Bets or somneone else that made the changes to send you a screenshot of the altered files so that you can compare them to yours and fix it. When you are coding a period or space can render it useless. You may just have left a space or deleted a space where needed.

Let me check. I think I have this game downloaded. Not sure.
Be back.

-----------
Open -------\Around the World in 80 Days\Base folder.

Open the text file that is labeled: 'level'.

Use a text file program, so that you can edit.

You will see the different levels.
For example the first one;
- <Levels>
- <Level name="level_1.1" time="650" chips="0123" sun_inc4="0.01" sun_inc5="0.01" sun_inc6="0.01" tip_time="10" qMusor="50" bonusLevel="false" addBonusK="0.7">

The level_1.1 must be the first book and then the first puzzle.

Next comes: time="650".
I think this is what Nikki is describing that you add a number to make it to thousands. For example add 6 before 650 to make 6650.
Then it will increase your time.

Then save the text file. Save and load. See if that works.

I've changed the number of lives but can't find anything in the 'gameinfo' file that looks like "time="

these are the only references to time:

levelTime="63" timeToLevel="1140" sunEnergy="40" totalTime="37650

can you help me fix this, please
