Summary

0001688: On Windows vcmi must store user-specific data under C:\Users directory

Description

As in summary, all data that can be changed by user (saves, config files, some temporary files) should be stored in user-specific directory (IIRC this is C:\Users\<user name>\...)

This is already works as intended on other OS's, to make this work on Win somebody must implement appropriate methods in lib/VCMIDirs.h/cpp

Creating this report mostly because we've got some bugs that require this feature to be implemented first.

Notes
(0004539) Tow (developer) 2014-02-27 20:50 edited on: 2014-02-27 20:51	I've done quick'n'dirty implementation for this in r3783. The thing I'm concerned about is that this uses non-UTF (local system encoding) strings, while generally everything should be UTF8. [Otherwise, having strings with different encoding in the project will sooner or later cause trouble.] However, Windows doesn't use UTF8 and standard library objects like ifstream apparently require paths to be in the non-UTF encoding. The fix for this is: a) set global locale to utf8 b) imbue boost::filesystem::path with that locale c) replace all std::ofstream with boost::filesystem::ofstream (same for ifstream) d) put globally the following pragma, so MSVC compiler knows that files are utf8 #pragma execution_character_set("utf-8") Ugh… Not before release.
