this version looks everywhere i can think of

Tribe Selector 1.06

Hahaha.. I see you covered yourself this time (with the final message)

Tribe Selector 1.07

This version checks the system registry to find where VV2.exe is hiding. This should work for both individuals who have installed VV2 to the default directory in Program Files, as well as for those individuals who have installed VV2 to a folder other than the default, for example, H:\Games\VV2.

If only I could find someone who has installed the game to a non-default directory to test it...

Borg, I can host a file for you. PM me when your ready.

Downloaded v1.07 and it works, with one small glitch. See PM borg.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
Funnily two of us have finished bar the colectibles but two are still going so this is great.
Hopefully VV3 will have this as a built in feature, then we'll need new problems for Borg to solve.

Spoke too soon.
Still not working on main computer where the bulk of villages is.
When you say where is the save game file, does that mean where is Isola20.ldw etc.
If it does then they are at C:\documents and settings\Emily.DANANDRACHELS\mydocuments\LDW\VirtualVillagers2
I think.Could it be confusing it that as we are on XP iwin and therefore VV is on lots of screens.
We only play it via emily's screen thats why I have put her path on.

Tribe Selector version 1.08

This version looks everywhere I can think of. If it does not find the save game folder (or the VV2 game itself) it will open a File Dialog box and allow the user to find the file.

Once found, it remembers the location of your the file (you don't have to go looking for the file each time you run the program).

As usual, if you find any bugs, please report them here! You are all officially promoted to tribe select beta-testers!

Nice workaround, Borg

Bajantara, thank you for the praise!

If people have a few moments to try this out I would appreciate it With everyone's help I think most of the bugs have been shaken out .

working great here

I will install VV2 on my mom's laptop this weekend, to a non-default directory, and let you know how that goes - if you still need that done.
