Transferring Alias

Post by Brodnur » Mon Jun 22, 2015 1:29 am

Howdy! I'm trying to setup my new laptop with windows 8 from my old computer that's trying to die, with windows 7. My question is, is there a way to transfer all my alias from my old zmud 32 (the free one on the home page here) to my new computer? I've got it loaded and can log in to the game, but all my alias are gone, even though I was able to transfer the files from the old to the new. I could type them all in manually, but if there's an easier way I'd love to learn it, since I've got dozens of alias on the old setup

Zmud will have made a setup folder when you downloaded it. It will most likely be in your program files in your C: drive. I personally moved mine to my desktop. Basically just go to start and in the white text box that says "Search programs and files" type in Zmud and it should show you the location of the file.

Just copy this whole file to a thumb drive and put it back on your new desktop. Then you can open zmud directly from this file without having to redownload it and all of your aliases, settings, logs, and everything will still be there.

PM me if you have any problems :)

That worked perfectly! Thanks tons, Algon. You just saved me a couple hours of re-typing all my alias over again
