Allow custom game save path #22

Closed Bad3r closed 10 months ago

Bad3r commented 10 months ago

Hello, I built gta5view locally, and when I attempted to open the game save folder, nothing happened. Is there a way to debug this issue?

In your GTA V folder the "Profiles" folder is missing, you need have a structure like this: "GTA V/Profiles/$YOUR_ID" This should fix your issue.

I am using Linux with Wine so the path is different. I'll setup a syslink. It would be nice if you allowed the user to select the directory.

Thank you for the quick response. It's good to close if you don't want to convert it to a request to add a custom path.

In the options dialog you can set a directory you want to use And there is the GTAV_FOLDER environment variable to set the GTA V folder, which needs to follow the Profile structure

For 1.11.0 i planned to detect automatically the Proton savegame folder on Linux

Important is that the Profile structure is in tact, i edited the last post to better reflect it

That makes sense, thank you. Once I opened the profile, the only option I was prompted with was 'export profile.' I am unable to do anything else with the game save.

Yea that's right, i don't have any savegame editing features built-in, only picture editing stuff (Snapmatic).

I will close the issue for now, but you can keep asking new questions etc.
