A tut made 100% by me, just wanting to help out a little bit. Winkey Wink

For all Windows Vista users: C:\Users\Boys\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\so on...

So you wanna know how to find your .sol files? Puzzled

Well, here is a brief explanation on how to FIND your .sol files. You must have View Hidden Files and Folders on for this to work! To do so, go to the Start Menu and click "Search." When it ask what you want to search for, click "All files and folders." Now, under the search criteria, go down to "More Advanced Options" and click "Search Hidden Files and Folders."

-Open up "My Computer" and then your "C Drive."

-Next, click "Documents and Settings", and then your name. (or computer administrators name)

-Click "Application Data", then "Macromedia" and then "Flash Player."

-Now click "#Shared Objects" and inside should be a series of random numbers and letters, click it.

-Now, if you have been playing Line Rider from linerider.com, or using the link from IRtL, find the file "linerider.com."

-Trusting that you have a track saved, inside should be a folder called "savedLines" and should be 5+kb's.

That is your .sol file, every line rider track is saved on that particular file. If you wondering, a track around 3000 lines should be around 300+-kb's, depending on the set-up.

Now, go back to the screen with all the different files and find linerider.com again, drag this from that menu onto your desktop for easier access. REMEMBER NEVER TO BE PLAYING WITH LINE RIDER WHILE MESSING WITH .SOL FILES! I HAVE SERIOUSLY SCREWED UP GREAT TRACKS BECAUSE OF IT! If you have any troubles, email me at william41992@yahoo.com.

All my tracks are gone, HELP! Mad

Well, remember that folder named #Shared Objects with all the random numbers inside? Well, go back to it. If you click all of the random numbers, you should get a page with about 50 files inside. If you used to play Line Rider from the link provided at IRtL, then find the file called "official-linerider.com" and open it. Inside should be a file (5+mb's), copy this file. Now go back to the screen with all the files and find "linerider.com." Click it and paste the .sol file in there and rename it (if it isn't already) to savedLines. If there is already a file in there, you will have to rename that file to something like "My Tracks." Your track should show up next time you play! ashamed REMEMBER NEVER TO BE PLAYING WITH LINE RIDER WHILE MESSING WITH .SOL FILES! I HAVE SERIOUSLY SCREWED UP GREAT TRACKS BECAUSE OF IT!

So you wanna know how to share .sol files? Puzzled

Now, you obviously have found your .sol, but don't know how to give it to another member of the site? Well, all you have to do is go to mediafire.com (no membership required)and upload the .sol file, once the uploading and verifying process are both done, you should get a screen saying "1 file(s) uploaded successfully." Go to the bottom of the page where it says "Sharing URL" and copy that and pm it to me here on the forum, at linerider.com, at IRtL, or email the person! REMEMBER NEVER TO BE PLAYING WITH LINE RIDER WHILE MESSING WITH .SOL FILES! I HAVE SERIOUSLY SCREWED UP GREAT TRACKS BECAUSE OF IT! If you have any troubles, email me at william41992@yahoo.com.

So you wanna know how to receive .sol files? Puzzled

Well, you know where they are at, you know how to give them (man your generous ) but how do you receive them? Well, once someone gives you the link from mediafire.com, you should go there and download the .sol file. When it ask you where to save the file, save it to your desktop. If you double click it, it will say "Windows cannot open the file" blah blah blah... Ok, so you should have the linerider.com folder on your desktop, now go in there and rename your .sol file to "My Tracks" or "Manual Tracks", just something you will remember it by. Now, copy the file you just downloaded and paste it in there, the name should be savedLines. If the name is not savedLines, simply rename it to savedLines. Next time, you pull up Line Rider you should be able to play the recently downloaded file! REMEMBER NEVER TO BE PLAYING WITH LINE RIDER WHILE MESSING WITH .SOL FILES! I HAVE SERIOUSLY SCREWED UP GREAT TRACKS BECAUSE OF IT! If you have any troubles, email me at william41992@yahoo.com.

There is no point as you can much more easily send them over the internet, send them to yourself or a friend! Shrug

Ok, try going to search and searching for "savedLines". If something comes up then you have found them. Be sure to have hidden files turned on!

Well, you have found your .sol file! You can share that with all of us here if you are looking to collab. However, if you are trying to recieve .sols, you will need your Line Rider file. Smiling

My tracks won't load. I open the saved traks thing on Line Rider but, they don't show up.

Odds are you were playing with your .sol files when you still had Line Rider open. In that case, they are gone.

Another liable option is that the site (once again) cycled between Line Rider Beta 2 v6.1 and Line Rider Beta 2 v6.2.

You do not open the .sol file. You can share it and receive it, but not open it. If you want to share it go to mediafire.com! Smiling

4 kb? That is very strange. It's ok to mess with it, just don't have Line Rider open when you are doing so.

How many lines and tracks do you have saved?

Nevertheless, I'm still taking your advice. Cool
Also, when you said "Just don't have line rider open", did you mean the game itself, or the whole (awesome Winkey Wink )website? Confused

Just the game itself. Sometimes you can leave it open and be safe, but take my words: Don't take the risk.

I'm having trouble with this part:
-----
so you should have the linerider.com folder on your desktop, now go in there and rename your .sol file to "My Tracks" or "Manual Tracks", just something you will remember it by. Now, copy the file you just downloaded and paste it in there, the name should be savedLines. If the name is not savedLines, simply rename it to savedLines. Next time, you pull up Line Rider you should be able to play the recently downloaded file!
------

The linerider game does not seem to be reading from the folder that was copied to the desktop, it seems to be reading only from the macromedia #Shared Objects folder. So, is that the folder that should have all the uploaded saved files (and the one that should be edited) and the desktop one being a backup copy?

And:
What's IRtL?

BTW,
On Linux, the macromedia file is at:
/home//.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/72KDRQZH/linerider.com/savedLines.sol
and the local one (I think) is at:
/home//.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/72KDRQZH/localhost/savedLines.sol
