Game directory auto-detection and/or SAMP import #38

Closed mikecnr closed 3 years ago

mikecnr commented 3 years ago

Would it be a good idea to try and auto-detect the game's installation directory?

Most players have it at the same place C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas

Maybe if SA-MP is already installed you could check the registry to see where SA-MP has the game directory set to. Or it could be part of the 'import from samp'? Perhaps the importing of servers from SAMP could include the game directory setting and be on the initial screen you see on the 'servers' tab when there's no game directory set.

The only thing to consider is that some players (very few) may have multiple game installs, but they could always change it. Better to cater to the masses? Or ask them to confirm?

This is already planned for a future release as part of the welcome/setup tutorial. The code to grab the path from registry is implemented but not used.

No idea when this will make it into the launcher as theres still core functionality missing.

I'll close this as its already on our todo and is part of an existing feature on the todo list.
