Custom Save File Location

[starlord]

Can someone make me a script that has that can save the saved game file to the App Data folder in the Users Folder in Local Disk C?

 

[Shaz]

This script creates a folder with the same name as your game, in the user's %appdata% folder (AppData/Roaming, to be exact), if it doesn't already exist, and subsequently puts all the save files there.

So if your game is called Greatest Game on Earth, the save files will go into user/AppData/Roaming/Greatest Game on Earth

I am not sure if this will have issues if the user name has international characters.  I recall we used to, way back when, but I'm not sure if this was the cause, and I haven't tested the Ace version of the script to see if it still happens.

NOTE: This overwrites a couple of methods in DataManager, so if you have other scripts that also alias or overwrite those methods, you'll need to look at the two very closely to determine what needs to be done.
