You dont need to quote thing if there is no space, and you must quote params, and use ", not '
I mean, not:
"E:\PortableApps\ufoai\UFOAI-2.2.1\ufo.exe +set fs_homedir 0 +set fs_basedir E:\PortableApps\ufoai\Dati"
but:
"E:\PortableApps\ufoai\UFOAI-2.2.1\ufo.exe" +set fs_homedir 0 +set fs_basedir "E:\PortableApps\ufoai\Dati"

still does'nt work

oh yeah, right
my version is 2.2.1 (the latest for windows as for 2 weeks ago)

i'd suppose there is a command line parameter; i'll try it asap and let you know if this work

Edit
i tried using this ones (look at the " " and ' ' ):
E:\PortableApps\ufoai\UFOAI-2.2.1\ufo.exe +set fs_homedir 0 +set fs_basedir E:\PortableApps\ufoai\Dati
E:\PortableApps\ufoai\UFOAI-2.2.1\ufo.exe +set fs_homedir 0 +set fs_basedir "E:\PortableApps\ufoai\Dati"
E:\PortableApps\ufoai\UFOAI-2.2.1\ufo.exe "+set fs_homedir 0 +set fs_basedir E:\PortableApps\ufoai\Dati"
"E:\PortableApps\ufoai\UFOAI-2.2.1\ufo.exe +set fs_homedir 0 +set fs_basedir E:\PortableApps\ufoai\Dati"
E:\PortableApps\ufoai\UFOAI-2.2.1\ufo.exe +set fs_homedir 0 +set fs_basedir 'E:\PortableApps\ufoai\Dati'
E:\PortableApps\ufoai\UFOAI-2.2.1\ufo.exe '+set fs_homedir 0 +set fs_basedir E:\PortableApps\ufoai\Dati'
'E:\PortableApps\ufoai\UFOAI-2.2.1\ufo.exe +set fs_homedir 0 +set fs_basedir E:\PortableApps\ufoai\Dati'

and either said me there wrong syntax, or start with a full black and red screen (and then states "not responding")

(in "E:\PortableApps\ufoai\Dati" i got the "save" directory and the "config.cfg" files as well as "history" "stats.log" and "ufoconsole.log"...)

this in Win 7
i go trying win xp asap

Edit ^2
I tried also on win xp. same results
i tried also tweaking a little (changing directory, pointing to the "base" subdirectory, using different spelling, manually modifying config.cfg...

still does not work

Windows / Silly Question: where to save?

« on: December 02, 2009, 11:16:19 pm »

Hi all
just a silly question: how did i change save directory? (if i could)
'cause i'm playing the game from differents PC, and i installed it into a portable USB
so everytime i change computer i need to copy save file from usbpen to local directory, then copy back to usbpen and sometime i miss something or just does'nt work xD

if i could change directory where to save the game, i could save it on usbpen...

(or:
1) there is a way to make simbolic links in windows?
2) there is a way to create a script to automatically copy the savegame, launch the launcher, then save back the savegame?

ty for help

PS: this game really ROCK!!!!
