Files in the /settings Folder

All game data files created while playing SoliLuxe are placed in the /settings folder.

SoliLuxe usually preserves all these settings between minor program updates, but sometimes the format for one of the files listed below may change — if that happens, SoliLuxe will ignore the file made with an older version at startup and reset those settings to the defaults.

Here is a list of the file types that may appear in the /settings folder:

Player specific

• savegame_{playername}.sav — Contains the in-progress game to be restored on startup.

• settings_{playername}.sav — Contains the general game settings, mainly for the Settings tab in the Options window.

• grSettings_{playername}.sav — Contains graphics customisation settings for all menu and backdrop graphics, and also per-game theme settings for registered users.

• statistics_{playername}.sav — Contains game statistics: Number of games played, number of games won, current records, etc.

• filterSettings_{playername}.sav — Not surprisingly, contains the player's last used filter settings.

• favourites_{playername}.sav — Contains the player's list of favourites.

Common to all users

• players.sav — A list of all currently defined players.

• patienceInfo.sav — A list of all available games and their filter properties. You can force a regeneration of this list by unchecking the Quick start checkbox on the Settings tab (which obviously will slow down the startup process a bit).

• {list name}.lst — Each .lst file contains a list of games which can be loaded in the filter on the Games tab. They are created by the ListMaker tool. A number of pre-made lists are delivered with the game, including a list of new games with each release.

• {series name}.sgs — Each .sgs file defines a game series. .sgs files are handled in the Series/Scores tab of the Options window.

• {colour set name}.set — Each .set file defines a set of colours that can be used in IconMaker.

• grSettingsDefault.def — Contains factory default settings for position marker and menu info text colour and opacity, set per table and menu backdrop that comes with the game.
