Fledgling Fyora Campy Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Er, the best thing I can think of is to use the menu at the top of that save pop-up to go to the Recent Folders and from there select the folder in which you want to save. Then it's only one click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fledgling Fyora Campy Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Pyro Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 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?

Fledgling Fyora Campy Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 Thanks Pyro. Not very elegant, but your workaround gets the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
