📋 About This Mod
Save files keept where you want
This mod allows you to edit save path from "C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\" to your custom one in singleplayer without using server argument "-savedir"Mod will automatically create a file named SavePath.txt next to dll which will contain the path to the folder where it should be saved.
Script has a prevention method also so:
- if file doesnt exist (it will be created),
- if path is wrong it will still load official path,
- script will notify you then your path is succesfully loaded by message:
Successfully Changed Save Path: D:\Valheim\MyData
Installation:
- make sure you have installed BepInEx
- Drag drop folder from archive into plugins directory
VERSION 1. 1:
- Ability to use "GAMEDIR_" or "MODDIR_" as relative path creation
"GAMEDIR_" -> by example its "D:\\Valheim\\Valheim_Data"
"MODDIR_" -> by example its "D:\\Valheim\\BepInEx\\plugins\\Save Where You Want"
How to use relative pathing:
in config file create path looking like
GAMEDIR_\\MyCustomSaveFilesFolder --> D:\\Valheim\\Valheim_Data\\MyCustomSaveFilesFilder
MODDIR_..\\..\\configs\\WorldDataSaveFolder --> D:\\Valheim\\BepInEx\\configs\\WorldDataSaveFolder
if you just want to use MODDIR_ path then at the end you need supply it with double "\" or single "/" so script will not break in there.
