Multiuser Support on Windows systems - On Windows, all user specific files such as autogenerated configuration, - demos, videos, screenshots, and autodownloaded pk3s are now saved in a - directory specific to the user who is running ioquake3. - - On NT-based such as Windows XP, this is usually a directory named: - "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Quake3\" - - Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME will use a directory like: - "C:\Windows\Application Data\Quake3" - in single-user mode, or: - "C:\Windows\Profiles\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Quake3" - if multiple logins have been enabled. - - In order to access this directory more easily, the installer may create a - Shortcut which has its target set to: - "%APPDATA%\Quake3\" - This Shortcut would work for all users on the system regardless of the - locale settings. Unfortunately, this environment variable is only - present on Windows NT based systems. - - You can revert to the old single-user behaviour by setting the fs_homepath - cvar to the directory where ioquake3 is installed. For example: - ioquake3.exe +set fs_homepath "c:\ioquake3" - Note that this cvar MUST be set as a command line parameter. + On Windows, all user specific files such as autogenerated configuration, + demos, videos, screenshots, and autodownloaded pk3s are now saved in a + directory specific to the user who is running ioquake3. + + On NT-based such as Windows XP, this is usually a directory named: + "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Quake3\" + + Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME will use a directory like: + "C:\Windows\Application Data\Quake3" + in single-user mode, or: + "C:\Windows\Profiles\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Quake3" + if multiple logins have been enabled. + + In order to access this directory more easily, the installer may create a + Shortcut which has its target set to: + "%APPDATA%\Quake3\" + This Shortcut would work for all users on the system regardless of the + locale settings.
