Marioysikax 89 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Change %programdata% to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%, so windows XP is supported too Anyway, I was wondering how could we best remove all those repetitive paths that load fixboxes... I mean, I found it's burdening to repeat ten times %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Bioware\Mass Effect\Config, or every other configuration path So, I was starting to simply link #Configuration files location to fileini.ini In the past I even did something like this Newbier this way would have to simply click on the .ini name, whilst power users would already know where to go Well "Documents" folder isn't in XP, why would variable be XP version? %PROGRAMDATA% is bit easier if user doesn't know it can be copy pasted then defaulty it can be found in OS root with same name. Maybe hover tip for %ALLUSERPROFILE% ? I have been been using string "Navigate to your [[#Game data|Configuration file(s) location]]." and works pretty well with copy pasting to other pages when needed. That's usually better if there's error, game updates or comes to other platforms as well and also unifies how articles and fixes are written.

Garrett 214 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 I have noted the Windows XP path differences on game data. I think this is sufficient since Windows XP's extended support ended last month; many pages already use incompatible paths (as Marioysikax noted). I think the line linking to the configuration files location is probably the clearest method for those cases. It might be possible to change the CSS to have links always underlined when used inside <code> (right now those links blend in with regular text).

Guest Share Posted May 12, 2014 Could a "Partialy" value be added yet? It would be really useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marioysikax 89 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Instead of simple \Steam with steam or \Ubisoft with uplay, should %PROGRAMFILES(X86)% be used with tooltip that it's just default location which could've been changed by user during installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirh 103 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Instead of simple \Steam with steam or \Ubisoft with uplay, should %PROGRAMFILES(X86)% be used with tooltip that it's just default location which could've been changed by user during installation? I'm always against absolute path. A popup like we already have on lots of words would be better (see post #34) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett 214 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 As suggested I have updated the template to support Steam and Uplay relative path placeholders. Specific path details will be covered on game data as usual. Mirh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Share Posted June 12, 2014 FOV or FoV? 64-Bit or 64-bit OS or Os? I prefer the capitalized ones but just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
