Clarify default app install directory #320

Closed MoltonMontro closed 6 months ago

MoltonMontro commented 6 months ago

Last year, #219 proposed updating the Server Hosting page to mention force_install_dir. They didn't sign the Contributor License Agreement, but I've made a similar commit in this PR.

I think we can close the other PR if this one is accepted.

Good idea to catch up on old stuff. Occasionally there are reports of issues with different install directories, however, particularly with finding the steam redist files IIRC. I'm not sure if we should recommend it in the docs without a reason for suggesting it. Or maybe a separate article about why it's worth using and how to use it, similar to Fake IP? As-is I think it's kind of a "your miles may vary" feature of steamcmd that we don't necessarily need to support.

If the issue mentioned in #219 isn't common enough to warrant a full step, maybe we mention the default install path in the app_update step (with a link back to SteamCMD's documentation for changing this path)

SDGNelson commented 6 months ago

Sure, that sounds reasonable to me.

MoltonMontro commented 6 months ago

Alright, I've changed this to just add a bit more emphasis to how server files are downloaded to the default app install directory (w/ a link back to the SteamCMD section that mentions changing this).

Fixes some styling error in other steps (some lists were misformatted and used 4-space indents instead of 3).

SDGNelson commented 6 months ago

Thanks, that looks like a good way to include the information.

Regarding spaces: Does RST have a recommended style guide suggesting 3 spaces for indentation? The .editorconfig file right now is set to 4 spaces but default tabs. (we can override for RST file type if needed) Which editor are you using?

SDGNelson commented 6 months ago

(for others reading, 3 spaces was actually to prevent bolding of list items)
