how to save to files in a sub folder?

[funtomata]

hi,
I'm trying to group all my save files inside a subfolder of the Persistent Data Path.

I tried to do the following

Code: Select all

var settings = new ES3SerializableSettings("MySaveFolder"+System.IO.Path.PathSeparator+"myfile.es3");
ES3.Save("mykey", value, settings);

but instead of writing to a "myfile.es3" file inside the "MySaveFolder" folder, it writes to a "MySaveFolder/myfile.es3" file at the persistent data path root.

I also have another problem when trying to get the auto save to write to a specific file.

I do the following:

Code: Select all

var autoSettings = new ES3SerializableSettings("MySaveFolder"+System.IO.Path.PathSeparator+"autofile.es3"
ES3AutoSaveMgr.Current.settings = autoSettings;

And it still saves into SaveFile.es3 instead of my new file.

Hi there,

You simply need to provide the filePath parameter of the Easy Save methods as described in the Getting Started guide (see the Relative Path example):

Ok I had hoped the settings would have proven more useful for this purpose, but I guess I'll just save the file path string instead of putting it in a settings.

What about the autosave issue though? I can't pass a file path parameter to the save method of autosave.

Hi there,

I answered this question in the thread you created earlier today:

Ok sorry about the confusion, been working hard all day and I'm a bit messed up.

Regarding the path problem, apparently the issue was in my use of System.IO.Path.pathSeparatorChar where I should have been using directorySeparatorChar instead
