It would be so great 4 a drop down menu to display all of your profile names.
George, or anyone else that could make a mod for it, please try to implement this into the game.
I think it would be a great addition to the main menu and prevent a lot of headaches and having to go look at all the save files if u lose your handwritten list uve made 8-)

Is it possible 2 mod it or would george have to actually script it into the main menu files?
Forgive me, I'm not very savvy when it comes to game programming :lol:

George would have to do it.
We can't mod the main menu.

If you ever forget the names of the profiles you have, then you can look at the names of your savegames... it should fit 1:1

As long as you don't use any non-standard characters, the savegame names will be exactly the same as your profile.

What I mean is for people that have 10 different games going, you have to manually type the profile in when you want to play that particular game. It would be easier if when you load up the game and are on the main menu, you can click where you type your profile name and it would drop a list down that displays all active profiles with an active saved game file. Am I wrong?

I think this is a good idea!

It's a little tricky to implement, so it might take me a while (probably post 1.1).

Yeah I usually write them all down on paper and I lost it and had to go look at my saves to remember my profile names. If you could make it work it would be a great addition to T, I would greatly appreciate it. :D

Apparently it is a good idea. :D
I'm just confused how you do it? Usually I have a terrible time completing a game (concentration) and all.. but if you can play 5 game more power to you!
