Enable "Cloud Saving" #7

Closed Krutonium closed 9 years ago

Basically take the Saves folder, and move it to a directory the user specifies (Like Dropbox or Mega). This will allow the user to sync saves across machines.

Goal is to make a 1 click solution for Dropbox (Reading Dropbox's Config File), with general selection for anywhere else.

Although it does need a publisher, not ideal for Open Source, Google Play Saved Games might be an option as well. It would be a way to open the same game on other devices if/when they would be supported in the future.

Android through the Google Play services SDK iOS through the iOS SDK C++ through the C++ SDK

Fairly sure none of these would be easy to use from a .net language on a PC.

What I am thinking is more of using a Symbolic link so that OpenRCT2 Saves into a folder on Dropbox. Set that up across multiple machines, and boom, "Cloud" saves.

ThomasdenH commented 9 years ago

Actually, shouldn't this be implemented in OpenRCT2 itself? Or were you thinking of customising the save path?

Krutonium commented 9 years ago

All I am doing is customizing the save path. In theory once you make this change, even the original RCT2 should save to Dropbox.
