TheoTown folder in a different location?

#1

Post by Matison55557 »

Any way to make TheoTown on PC keep its files in a different location than C:\Users\username\TheoTown?

I believe you can do that by setting a launch argument as provided in the following link:

Alternatively, you can modify HOME environment variable for TheoTown when launching it.

Beware that depending on your installation none of the approaches work. Setting HOME works, but will not work with Theotown's DRM under linux.
And the system property one I'm not too sure about whether that can work in the current day and age.

Tested with following JDKs: Temurin 1.8.0_362, Temurin-11.0.18+10, Temurin-17.0.6+10, Temurin-19.0.2+7, Red_Hat-11.0.18.0.10-1.fc37, IBM Semeru Runtime Open Edition 17.0.5.0, Red_Hat-17.0.6.0.10-1.fc37, Zulu19.32+15-CA, Zulu17.40+19-CA, Bellsoft 17.0.6+10-LTS
Also tested out with Zulu 6.22.0.3-linux64, but as it can easily be predicted it cannot launch Theotown.
