We're having the Problem that our game, once installed, won't run on win7 and Vista, seemingly because of administrative rights. We need to write and modify files in the folders. The manual entry on "save_dir" says to change the dir on windows vista.
Now we want to change the dir where everything is saved to the application data, since that's what it's for. Can 3dgs somehow access the %appdata% variable at runtime without any plugins?

Uh, yes. Exactly. Thanks...
How do I access that function in LiteC though? This gives me a syntax error:
HRESULT WINAPI SHGetFolderPath(HWND hwndOwner, int nFolder,HANDLE hToken,DWORD dwFlags,LPTSTR pszPath);
#define PRAGMA_API SHGetFolderPath;Shell32.dll!SHGetFolderPath

#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
#include <windows.h>
HRESULT WINAPI SHGetFolderPath(HWND hwndOwner, int nFolder,HANDLE hToken,DWORD dwFlags,char* pszPath);
#define PRAGMA_API SHGetFolderPath;Shell32.dll!SHGetFolderPathA
const int APPDATA = 0x001A;
char buffer[260];
void main()
{
SHGetFolderPath(NULL,APPDATA,0,NULL,buffer);
error(buffer);
}

Perfect. Thank you very much.
I didn't convert LPTSTR into a char* pointer... and SHGetFolderPathA was the other Rroblem. So 0x001A is the value of CSIDL_APPDATA? interesting...
