Defining persistent data location

[silversporksama]

Howdy, it's been around four or five years(?!?!) since I've last popped up on these boards and only now has a problem with no workaround hit me so bad I needed to drop by again :/ (that, and the fact that I'm actually almost done with a project for once! haha!)

Anyway, on to the actual issue I have...

So, there's a specific directory for all persistent data, right?
I was wondering if there was a way you could get renpy put all the persistent data in the same folder as the game, so the persistent data gets deleted when the game does (but the multi-persistent data remains in the system) for a certain little trick I'm trying to implement with one of my current projects. (Hopefully that's something workable.)

The trick itself is something a little complicated to explain, but if it'll help me get an answer then I can try to put it into words somehow!

Thanks for your time, everybody!

The persistent data is placed in the same location as the save directory. You can get rid of the global save directory by editing options.rpy and setting:

Code: Select all

python early:
    config.save_directory = None

(Replacing the config.save_directory line that is there now.)

Aaaah, goodness, I didn't expect it to be that simple! Thank you so much!
