Data folder in other places?

Data folder in other places?

Opened this issue a year ago · 16 comments

Can we just place the data anywhere just like Julius?

Answer 1 · 2023-09-27T06:27:47.000Z

Sure, you can place data where you want. Exe also support select data dir on start. But on android you need copy files to special directory

Answer 2 · 2023-10-06T14:08:16.000Z

sorry, lemme rephrase: can I put the data folder at root of the storage like Julius?
Julius will ask which folder I put the C3 installation in upon first start.
Maybe it's doable?

Answer 3 · 2023-10-06T14:24:48.000Z

If resources was not found on start, game show special window where you can select where it

Also if game found steam folder with game, it start from here

All config saved here
C:\Users%user%\AppData\Roaming\ozymandias.cfg

Sorry, it's my fault for not being clear.
I meant on Android. Can you make it like Julius?
So I can just put the files in SD card.

Answer 8 · 2024-02-01T02:28:13.000Z

I can select the data folder now. Thanks.

However, the game will ask about it every bootup. Also there's a warning about data folder must be in xxxxx....

And I can't click anything, so it's stuck on starting screen with Cleopatra & [Click to start]...

Hello. I’m encountering the same problem.
I’ve got the original files from my Steam library.

I’ve put them in /sdcard0/Android/data/com.github.dalerank.akhenaten.files
Note that this folder is a hidden system folder which makes the copy hard to do for simple users.

That said, although the files are in this folder, at starting the, app shows me a Warning telling me Akhenaten needs the originals files. When I press “Ok”, it asks me to select my game folder. I’ve tried selecting another folder on my SD card where the data are copied but when I give him the correct folder, I still get that Warning pop up. The folder is in /sdcard0/Emulators/windows/games/Pharaoh + Cleopatra/
