I do not understand where the mod looks for altsaves.toml #7

Closed ketsuban closed 4 months ago

ketsuban commented 4 months ago

I have the following folder structure.

ELDEN RING
├ Game
│ └ ...
└ Mod Engine 2
  ├ configs
  │ ├ vanilla.toml
  │ ├ seamlesscoop.toml
  │ ├ reforged.toml
  │ └ reforged-seamlesscoop.toml
  ├ modengine2
  │ └ ...
  └ mods
    ├ Alt Saves
    │ └ eldenring_alt_saves.dll
    └ ...

I would like to configure the extension Alt Saves uses. Previously I put altsaves.toml in the Alt Saves folder alongside the DLL, but this seems to no longer work. The documentation is a little unclear where I should be putting it, since I don't understand what is meant by "the game directory immediately" and "the modengine2 mod folder itself".

After some experimentation I found that putting it inside the Game folder alongside eldenring.exe works, so I'm guessing that's "the game directory immediately". The following locations had no effect:

Hi, the Game/altsaves.toml should work but it should work if you put it directly in any of the folders references in the mods array of the eldenring_alt_saves.dll

I also find this problem. If altsaves.toml doesn't locate in Game folder, your saves folder only create .mod rather than extension set in .toml. So how can I deal with this？ Thanks for you！ 1 2

After a few attempts, I find that I need make a copy of .toml and put it in mod folder to make it work.

Hmm, that's odd. Game folder should def work and I can't reproduce the issue you describe after a quick test (just works for me). The mods/ folder approach is for big overhaul mods and such.

For anyone else troubleshooting this, follow the docs first: https://github.com/vswarte/alt-saves?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration

Closing this issue since your issue seems resolved, gonna do some extensive testing soon :tm: and if something similar pops-up I'll create a new issue.
