ToME WikiPaulMoore: I don't know if this is the right place, but I thought I'd ask anyway. In ToME 3 on Windows, the user's data (savefiles, etc) is stored in %USERPROFILE%\.tome3. I would like to put T3 onto a USB stick, and therefore I want to locate the user data somewhere relative to the main executable (either within the main ToME directory like T2 did, or somewhere alongside it).
Is this possible? If so, how? If not, could it be considered as a feature request?
DarkGod: Edit tome.cfg to add at the top of the file the line: TOME_WRITE_ROOT = TOME_CFG_PATH It should work (you'll get a .tome in the main ToME folder, you cna change other stuff in there to rename .tome to something else).
PaulMoore: Neat. I assumed there would be something in tome.cfg that would work. Just couldn't figure out what 
ReenenLaurie: Well now it's here for everyone to see. I think maybe this should be included in a FAQ.txt file bundled with the game? Or at least on the wiki FAQ. (It may not be frequently asked, but I can see many people wanting to do this). I know we also have a FAQ on the wiki, but maybe wait for tome3 to be released before creating a FAQ like this?
NeilStevens: I'd rather wait to let it be frequently asked. This is a pretty weird thing to do, I think. In general we don't want players messing with tome.cfg, so out of the blue telling them to look there is generally going to be a bad idea.
Atarlost: I'd figure this would be pretty common. Portability is one of the major selling points of rougelikes. Always has been. At least for windows instalations stuff in a subdirectory of the installatino should be the default behavior. Almost no games I know of for windows use any other location for mods, scenarios, or savegames. Storing *.team files, in particular, anywhere except a subdirectory of the Tome directory makes them more difficult to find and work with. .
DarkGod: All the new games I've tried on windows seems to use the user directory actually, at least TitanQuest and Supreme Commander do. Anyway yes this is FAQ'able I suppose
ReenenLaurie: I prefer the game saving the data in the game's directory. C:\Documents and Settings\reenenl\<dunno what weird path it is>\ is a crappy place to save *anything*. Windows sucks... home directories are probably a nice way of thinking in terms of security. But in terms of real life... I'm not going to keep my cup in my own room just because I don't want others to drink from it. Keep the cup in the kitchen. With all the other cups.
NeilStevens: Yeah and then the next 10 people who try to use ToME in a networked or multiuser environment will come and complain that ToME is doing its own oddball thing instead of doing documented standard behaviors, right? What happens to the user who installs ToME as an administrator, then tries to run it as a user, the way the OS is trending to be run i'm told?
I'm fine with documenting somewhere how people can modify tome.cfg, but it sounds to me like a) the PhysFS default is correct and b) most users aren't going to need or want to even know tome.cfg exists.
ReenenLaurie: Point taken... admittedly I'm 1 user on 1 machine. So for me I'll like to be able to change it.
