logfiles and save games
I mostly play solo and I haven't done a lot with logfiles so I have a question regarding logfiles and game saves. If I have to complete the game over several sessions and have to make several logfiles would I have to make the game save file (.vsav) name(s) match the log file names for the log files to work properly or could I just use one file name for the .vsav and save each session under that name.
My understanding of the process is that when you save a log file at the end of a session and then save the game that the log file would be directly linked with that particular session. If you started a new session you would need to save the log file and the game under a new name even though you are just continuing the game.
Here is an example of what I am talking about:
1. Start a session - start log file called 'XX_Game_XX_Scen_Turn_1'
2. Complete session - save log file - save game under name 'XX_Game_XX_Scen_Turn1'
3. Start new session - start log file called 'XX_Game_XX_Scen_Turns2_3'
4. Complete session - save log file -- save game as a new save file called 'XX_Game_XX_Scen_Turns2_3'
Does that example explain pretty well what I am talking about?
I guess my question is if my understanding of the process is correct or would I be able to save the game under the same name after each session?
Example:
1. Start a session - start log file called 'XX_Game_XX_Scen_Turn1'
2. Complete session - save log file - save game under name 'XX_Game_XX_Scen'
3. Start a new session - start log file called 'XX_Game_XX_Scen_Turns2_3'
4. Complete session - save log file - save game under same name of 'XX_Game_XX_Scen'
