CustomUserProfilePath breaks Independence FM

Open ant-sh opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

I am working on portable GTA IV 2020 Complete Edition. While on older game versions it is possible with your excellent XLivelessAddon , unfortunately it does not work on 2020CE. I already managed to redirect savegames into local SAVE\GTA IV\0F74F4C4 subfolder using local_save.txt feature of Goldberg RGSC emu but I have trouble with settings folder redirection in 2020CE. Is it possible to implement CustomSettingsPath in FusionFix?

I don't remember why it wasn't implemented in the first place. Perhaps possible, but it's not in my goals atm.

Default settings location between GFWL and RGL versions hasn't changed %LOCALAPPDATA%\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Settings so redirection probably can be done similarly. It is not really urgent, please look into it as your time permits.

I just came here to say, that I would really love that feature as well! But yeah, as your time permits, of course.

Implemented option to move whole userdir in 2.0

This is awesome! Sorry for being such a noob, but can you give me an example of how a custom user profile path would look like? Maybe you could put an example in GTAIV.EFLC.FusionFix.ini :)

Would it work, if I put it in the following way? CustomUserProfilePath = D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV\CustomUserProfile

Absolute path will be used if you provide that, otherwise it will be relative to game's directory.

Custom settings path works. However it breaks Independence FM. Folder "{CUSTOM_SETTINGS_FOLDER}\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\User Music" is created but files userfile.dat and usertracks.dat there (scanned media DB) have zero length.

This is the same issue as in XLA. Maybe fix that too while you're at it https://github.com/GTAmodding/XLivelessAddon/issues/1#issue-1774281248
