  Transport Tycoon Saved Game Manager

The Saved Game Manager lets you manage all your Transport Tycoon saved games, scenarios and multiplayer saved games. You can copy them, move them, delete them, rename them and compress them too. The interface is easy to use. There are many more features, and Saved Game Manager 2.2 is again better than ever. If you play TT then it's highly recommended you download this.

Here are just some of the new features in Transport Tycoon Saved Game Manager 2.2:

  • Manager now compiled with Visual Basic 6.0
  • New Game menu commands
  • F1 help added
  • Compress games directly from Explorer
  • TTDPatch fixes
  • Setup improvements
  • Plug-in installation improvements
  • Plus other bug fixes and improvements

System Requirements

Transport Tycoon Saved Game Manager 2.2 requires:

  • Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP or higher, or Windows NT 4.0
  • About 5MB of disk space
  • Microsoft HTML Help Update (see below)
  • WININET.DLL (see below)

Note that if you try to run the Saved Game Manager on Windows Vista, you may need to run the program with Administrator privileges (right-click the icon and click "Run As Administrator" in the Start menu) for it to function correctly. The Saved Game Manager is an old piece of software, and was not written with some of the security enhancements of the latest versions of Windows in mind (indeed, Windows Vista did not exist when the latest version of the Manager was released!). The Manager tries to register COM objects at startup, and also writes to files in its directory in the Program Files directory, which the standard Windows Vista configuration prohibits for normal users. It's possible an update for the Saved Game Manager may be released in the future, but it's old code and isn't the easiest code to maintain. Please let me know if you have any problems.

Download

This version of the Saved Game Manager does not require a previous version. If you do have an older version installed, it is recommended that you remove it. Setup should detect old versions and offer to remove them.

The following SGM-related files are available to download from the Download page:

  • Transport Tycoon Saved Game Manager 2.2
    This is the full package you use for installing the Manager.
  • HTML Help Update
    This is the HTML Help Update package. If the Setup program displays a message saying that it cannot find HTML Help, or you have trouble viewing the help file, download this. Please note that you also need Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher.
  • WININET.DLL
    This file isn't available from the download page, but is available on Microsoft's web site (somewhere). It is required for the Internet-related features of the Manager (currently just the Check for New Versions feature). If the Setup program displays a message about this, then you need to download it. It is supplied in Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher.

Help

I have made the Transport Tycoon Saved Game Manager help file available for browsing online. If you do not have/want Internet Explorer on your computer and cannot use HTML Help, you can view the online version. The help system uses CSS.

Thanks

I'd like to thank the following people for help and support with the Manager:

  • Josef Drexler
    General help with TT file format, plus support during development.
  • Marcin Grzegorczyk
    Wrote SV1Tool (now SV1Codec), code from which is used in the Saved Game Manager.
  • James Pamplin, Michael Humberston, Chris Jackson, Adam Trevorrow, and others Beta testing, suggestions for new features, and so on.
