Advanced path options for film, screenshots, maybe textures/skins

[Krusty]

I built a newer PC lately. Not gaming with it yet (waiting for a gameport-to-USB adapter to arrive for my old analog pedals).

When I do I want to take advantage of the SSD primary drive. It will have my 1 TB SATA as a secondary drive.

However, to minimize swapping and all that I would love to be able to tell Aces High to write film files to the 1TB and not the SSD. I would love to tell it to write screenshots to that drive as well.

Or perhaps maybe I'm looking at it backwards... maybe we can install the game on the 1TB and tell it to load the textures and skins off the SSD so that they are the fastest part of the equation.


In short, I'd like to split the different files to different drives, to prioritize what needs the extra performance.

I'll be installing most of what I can on the 1TB but for AH I wanted some part of it on the SSD. I really would love to have it quick and responsive.

I'd also like the ability to set a different save path for films and screenshots instead of using the default path.

would be nice if it was possible to set a default location other than the game directory...be a lot easier to manage.

wouldn't just replacing the films folder with a shortcut named "films" to a directory on the other drive work?


I guess it wouldnt work for screenshots, but I'm guessing it would work for films since it's a separate directory

  Good wish.  Kvuo, the shortcut would still require some "swapping".  It would be nice to be able to automatically save films in another directory even.

a shortcut isn't transparent for the game, it will look in the 'strict' folder tree, maybe with mapping a logical drive to a folder it could work, but it is hassle and requires a server OS IIRC.

+1 anyway, the film folder can become quite big

There would be no fun without drama! 



On a more serious note +1

a shortcut isn't transparent for the game,

ahh roger.. here I was thinking windows was slowly getting more unix-like.. guess not
