Save directory

[Aasland]

Hi!

My publisher asks if I change the save directory from
"%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Roaming/MMFApplications"
to
"%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Roaming/GameName".
They fear that save game issues could occur with other MMF apps..

Is this possible?


Thanks!

It depends, could you post a screenshot of your current %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Roaming/MMFApplications? (I assume you have ran the game on your computer).

You can use the YASO object to get the appdata path. Also if you're using the INI object be sure to uncheck the "Create INI file in Application Data Folder".

It would be useful if fusion supported system variables though.

The File Object will also be usedul

As stated above you can use extensions to retrieve the %appdata% path which you can use to specify where to save your file.

It is possible there will be issues, I'm not sure how CF handles stuff like that.

How do you create the save game files? Are you using an extension?

Late reply, been busy becoming a father[emoji4]

Can someone please explain how to use the YASO object to achieve this? I tried without luck..

If you're using the INI object so the current file to (remember to uncheck "Create INI file in Application Data folder" in the setting of the object) :
CurAppData$( "YASO Object" ) + "\MyApp\SavedData.ini"

CurAppData$( "YASO Object" ) is achieved by selecting Folder Features -> Current User Folders -> Application Data

As stated above also the file object has this feature too. It may be the preferred object to use if you're already using the extension in your app.

Fantastic! This works great
Thanks for the help!
