Automatically Downloading Maps

Started by Something, July 10, 2011, 06:20:58 AM

When you automatically download a map/mod as you connect to a server (if you have that option selected) where does that map data/file go? I don't see any new additions to the Base folder, or is it stored elsewhere on the computer? I'm putting Tremulous on a flash drive as a portability/fun thing, and I want to keep track of where these files are going. Any ideas?

It depends on what OS you use.

For me, in Windows 7, they usually go to C:\Users\[user folder]\appdata\Roaming\Tremulous. All needed mods are shown immediately when you open Tremulous folder, and maps are inside the base folder.

You'll find it here if your using WinXP;
'C:\Documents and Settings\[USER NAME]\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base'

Type "/fs_homepath" in trem and it will give you the directory specific to your os.

Thanks, /fs_homepath worked, and I'm using Windows, by the way.  Its under ...AppData/roaming/tremulous as well.
Can you change the address where maps are saved from its default?

Run trem using
Quote+set fs_homepath <insert path here>

The console says that fs_homepath is write protected when I try using /set fs_homepath
Is there anythiing I can do to override that?

Uhh, I'm not positive on how it's done on windows.. I think you just make a batch file that executes your tremulous.exe and add "+set fs_homepath <insert path here>" to the end.

On second thought.. you might be able to create a shortcut to your tremulous.exe and add "+set fs_homepath <insert path here>" to the end of the shortcut command.  This would be easier to try first.

Add +set fs_homepath <insert path here> to the end? Is that the target under shortcut properties?
