BluJaguar Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 I try not to keep any data I care about on my Windows OS drive in case I need to nuke it and start over for any reason, so I was glad to find a thread that mentioned using --dataPath="path-to-data" and that some paths (like modpaths) are stored in json files in the settings folder. What wasn't mentioned was that there are two protocol handlers added to the registry that handle mod installation and server joining which *also* need to be modified if you want to use those features. (Altering them in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT will propagate the changes to all the other places in the registry those values are stored.) specifically: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\vintagestoryjoin\shell\open\command should be changed from "[...]\VintageStory.exe" -c "%1" to "[...]\VintageStory.exe" --dataPath="[path-to]\VintagestoryData" -c "%1" and Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\vintagestorymodinstall\shell\open\command should be changed from "[...]\VintageStory.exe" -i "%1" to "[...]\VintageStory.exe" --dataPath="[path-to]\VintagestoryData" -i "%1"
