For portable users, is there any way this folder can be stored in %X2DIR%?

[nikos]

no
paths are bound to change on different PCs so portable use is of little utility

[Kilmatead]

so portable use is of little utility

Except that the DefaultIniName member of the ContentDefaultParamStruct used in ContentSetDefaultParams() from the TC Plugins SDK defaults to %APPDATA%\zabkat for plugins which generate their own INI's, doesn't it?

My own plugins don't use that (they always generate within the same folder as the plugin file itself), but I think the rest of them do.

Should I spend the rest of my day proving this so I can just jam it down your throat later, or would you like to take my word for it?

Edit: Too late

Code: Select all

void __stdcall ContentSetDefaultParams([[maybe_unused]] ContentDefaultParamStruct *dps) {
	wprintf(L"Source: %s", dps -> DefaultIniName);
}

Produces:

Code: Select all

Source: C:\Users\Kilmatead\AppData\Roaming\zabkat\tcplugins.ini

<Sigh> Sometimes I enjoy my job "stickin' it to da man", as they used to say. Attica! Attica!

x2 sets %COMMANDER_INI% to its appdata, unless you specify another location in szPluginINI. Also for portable use it first checks if the INI file is in the installation folder (x2)

[Kilmatead]

Then using %X2DIR% for portable instead makes sense (at least in this case - but it could be used for other things, too).

We wouldn't want x2 to wake up on a stranger's spooky old USB stick and feel all scared and alone, now would we?

Also for portable use it first checks if the INI file is in the installation folder (x2)

And if it finds (it's own INI) there, does it auto-relocate the other references?

[nikos]

only the tc-related references (COMMANDER_INI)

[Kilmatead]

In that case, "I'll get you yet, my pretty! And your little ini's too!"
