relocating config files and such

Post by Mecca »

sooo I like to get to class early and play tron on the school computers, so I would like to have tron and my user.cfg and such on my usb drive. Getting tron on the usb is the easy part, but I do not know how to tell armagetron to look for the user.cfg, etc. at a different location(my usb drive).

help plz?

Oh wait... nvm...

I tried doing this:

Run:

e:\Armagetron Advanced\armagetronad.exe --vardir .\var

That brings up my armagetron folder with resource and var... thats it...

What am I doing wrong? :D

You can save your user.cfg someone online and type "rinclude user.cfg(http://website.com/user.cfg)" to load it (but make sure to delete the PASSWORD line).

Would typing "rinclude user.cfg(usbdrivelocationhere)" have the same effect?
