A1 save game location

Author	Topic: A1 save game location
Campy Apprentice Member # 5271	written Wednesday, December 8 2004 07:22 Profile #0 Is there a way to specify the save game location for Avernum 1? I have set up a save directory in my Avernum folder which works great except that every time I start the game it starts looking for saves in the My Documents folder. I don't want to clutter up My Documents with Avernum save games, but it takes several selections to get to the correct folder (on a different drive). Thankfully, after I get to the proper folder, I don't have to do that again until I quit and restart. Still I would like to permanently set the location to find saves. Can that be done through an entry in an .ini or .dat file or some other way? Posts: 3 | Registered: Wednesday, December 8 2004 08:00

Then it's only one click. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Campy Apprentice Member # 5271	written Wednesday, December 8 2004 10:14 Profile #3 OK, I probably should have mentioned I am using Win98. It takes me 6 clicks: look in, d drive, games, avernum, saves, and then select the save game I want. Sure, I could change my folder set up to make this easier, but this is the way I save most of my games. At least Avernum doesn't force them to be saved in a Documents folder or "My Games" folder. And it is good that the game remembers the location during a session. I only have to do this when I start a session. Still, I sure wish you could set the location as a preference option or by editing a .ini file or something similar. Posts: 3 | Registered: Wednesday, December 8 2004 08:00
Pyro Warrior Member # 3035	written Wednesday, December 8 2004 21:10 Profile Homepage #4 Do this: Make a shortcut to your saved games directory Then paste shortcut in avernum's default save folder Then when you go to save a game just click the shortcut get it? -------------------- Geneforge 3 Trainer for windows.
