Screenshots saving in the wrong folder :(
« on: October 16, 2006, 10:27:12 pm »
I made my tremulous folder, and thats where i save all my stuff to when I download new maps and such, but the game, on the other hand, seems to like to save in a folder that it keeps making itself. The folder is in Documents and Settings/My Name/Local Settings/Application Data. Whatever this folder is, everytime I delete it, it comes back, and this is where not only my screenshots save, but I've also noticed if I edit my autogen.cfg, the new one saves into this folder. Can someone tell me how to make it so that my screenshots and autogen save to the tremulous folder that I have picked out, and not this other random folder that keeps reappearing?

This is working as expected.

You shouldd better change how you expect them to work since this is official Microsoft policy and that all the recent and future games do it like that.

:( I thought for sure when I first started playing the first screenshot I did saved in the folder I wanted it to save in, instead of saving in a hidden folder inside of a hidden folder :evil:

Well, on that point it's true that the game isn't doing it correctly I think. It should place it's files in "My Documents/My Games/Tremulous"

In :

"Documents and Settings/My Name/My Documents/My Games/Tremulous"

Which isn't a hidden folder at all.

Well, currently its saving to Documents and Settings/My Name/Local Settings/Application Data/Tremulous

and Local Settings is a hidden folder, along with Application Data. So now that you know my problem, do you know how I can fix it?

I can't fix it, and neither can you fix it unless you have the tools to patch and recompile tremulous yourself I think.

Or maybe you can indeed configure the location which I doubt. In all cases, a bug report should be submited about that unless there is one already :)

I personally find that using a screen capture program is a much better solution.  My personal favourite is FRAPS.  Its really easy to set up and use.  Otherwise, you might want to get your computer checked out :)

This is the new TJW backport at work.  I don't really have a problem with it (hey, I'm a geek!), but there might be a better local location than Local Settings.  

On the plus side of things, the backport now lets different users on the same computer have different configurations (my brother and I play).  Thanks TJW!
