| Nick,
Would it be possible to add an AlphaOption for the state directory instead of just tacking it on to the plugins dir?
I use Live Mesh to sync some plugins I write with my clan, and I'd like to default to this synced dir for plugins, but don't really need to sync my state to them.
Thanks | | Top |

| Set please (and test while you're at it)
I pretty much want to move it from under the plugins directory so it's not synced. | | Top |

| There is no provision for changing global options (other than doing it yourself with the SQLite interface).
However I have moved the hard-coded plugins/state directory into a global option, which you can test with GetGlobalOption, and change yourself if you fiddle with the database. |

| I wanted to add a couple of small things.
The default of "./worlds/plugins/state" is based off the current directory, which can change in the shortcut. It may be a more reliable solution to base the default off the user's Plugin Directory (GetInfo(60)) instead of the MC install dir.
It should be noted in the documentation that this string expects the trailing backslash on the path. i.e. "C:\Users\Foo\Documents\PluginStates\"
Thanks again!

| The default in a new execution is:
{ GLB_ALPHA_OPT (m_strPluginsDirectory ), "PluginsDirectory", ".\\worlds\\plugins\\" },
{ GLB_ALPHA_OPT (m_strDefaultStateFilesDirectory), "StateFilesDirectory", ".\\worlds\\plugins\\state\\" },
So really, the state directory should be the same as before (since it was previously the plugins directory with state\ appended to it).

Where in the documentation? It isn't easily changed anyway. |

But you're going to have a lot of upgrading users that may have changed their plugin directory. "StateFilesDirectory" is new, but "PluginsDirectory" is an existing (possibly changed) value.
And, if they're like me, the Plugins folder may have just been moved out of C:\Program...\worlds, which is going to cause a lot of errors for them as the directory structure doesn't exist. | | Top |
