Changing mission file folder path?

[LF_Sire]

Hello,

Is there any way to change the folder where PWCG creates mission files?

Specifically from data/Mutliplayer/cooperative to data/Multiplayer/cooperative/another

Thank you

I did that for SP.  Does it work as well for coop?  If yes I can add a PWCG folder for coop as well.  If somebody can run a test and verify that subfolders work in coop I would appreciate it.

Yes sure. We have played PWGC coop missions generated on a PC, and played on another machine server in a subfolder doing this:

Mission Generation

1) On GameMaster-PC, create mission.
2) On game Master-PC, open mission on editor, then just save on data/cooperative/another
3) On Server-PC, copy mission files on replicated path data/cooperative/another
4) On Server-PC (or using Remote Console), launch SDS
5) Play mission

Combat Report

1) On Server-PC, get log files.
2) On GameMaster-PC, paste log files where machine config states (defaul path is data)
3) On GameMaster-PC enter PWCG and proceed with  Combat Report as usual.

Why to do all this?
So GameMaster can manage PWCG in his beloved machine though playing missions in a more powerful, secured server.

Why to ask for a new subfolder for PWCG?
To save step 2) above

But why do yo need a new subfolder anyway?
Because we have configured server to auto-sync subfolder with GameMaster one, and we doen't want to snyc all cooperative folder between machines.

So it is tested, but we can gladly test anything else you need.

 

Adding to above:

It would be even greater if that subfolder name could be set by user (may be in a .cfg), so every GameMaster could haver their own tiddy and secured subfolder on the server.
