Install My Userdata on an External Harddrive
Hi I am a longtime Wesnoth player. In the old versions of Wesnoth, it would give you the option to install the userdata in the same folder as the game. Now I cannot figure out how to install the userdata in the same folder. Please help!

Re: Install My Userdata on an External Harddrive
It sounds like you want to use this option when launching Wesnoth:
Code: Select all
--userdata-dir arg sets the path of the userdata directory to
$HOME/<arg> or My Documents\My Games\<arg>
for Windows. You can specify also an absolute
path outside the $HOME or My Documents\My
Games directory.

Re: Install My Userdata on an External Harddrive
how would I get to this option? I cannot find it. I do not install Wesnoth with source code, I use the standard windows installation.Pentarctagon wrote: ↑September 8th, 2018, 8:40 pm It sounds like you want to use this option when launching Wesnoth:Code: Select all

You can add it via right-clicking on the Wesnoth shortcut, going to Properties, and adding it to the Target field(example, since I don't use Windows).
