Trunk - usehomedir

[criusmac]

Downloading a completely new trunk fixed the error, so that's working.

My testing has revealed fs_basedir doesn't work. I then tested ufo: ai 2.2.1 (original executable without compiling), and it doesn't work there either. So, I figure fs_basedir never did work... at least for completely random directories.

My testing with fs_usehomedir shows it is working well though. I can modify the code easily to get rid of fs_basedir (and my testing has shown this works fine).

This modification will allow writing of save games to only 2 locations. The Documents and Settings directory like it currently does, and the directory UFO: AI is installed into.

Is this good enough, or should I try to get the fs_basedir to work too?

I was unable to commit the patch via cvs since my login/password didn't work.
I was unable to locate the forum posts that say what format of diffs to use since the search feature is terrible.
Thus, I was unable to figure out the format you wanted diffs to be in.

So, basically, the only thing I can do is attach the one file that I changed, and that's about it.

The changes are minor though, and are based on the most recent cvs version.
They are at least tested. Unfortunately, when the game works properly, I get no opportunity to view the console output, so I can't be sure exactly what it's doing. No attempts to view the console output have succeeded, and I could find no files that contain the output.. So, I guess it's simply printed, and then gone.

we are using svn not cvs

just use svn diff src/common/files.c > files.diff
