Title: [windows] wrong place for files *.log in glest-2.0
Post by: wolvverine on 22 March 2007, 22:59:42

%APPDATA%/glest-2.0 is good place for log files.
 %PROGRAMFILES%/Glest_2.0 is very wrong place, and crash program if user have not administrators privileges.

Yes, I have that exact problem. Where can I set this path?

Hmmm... I never even think to look for log files anywhere but the program's directory... I hate it when computers (windows or linux) lock up directories...

You could install glest w/out administrative abilities?

I don't think there is any place to set this path but it shouldn't be too hard to program one in.

Here is what I think could be done:

In glest.ini add 'UserDir' or 'UserHomeDir' or 'UserHome'
Then in glest_game/facilities/logger.cpp add to the logger constructor:

Code: [Select]

filename = config.getStr("UserDir");
filename += "log.txt";
[/list]

Something like that should work.
