Not fully portable (on Windows?) #158

I find this a bit annoying myself but have gotten used to it. |

I'll have a look at it. We'll likely fix the baseq2-case and provide a mechanism to disable the usage of the users home directory altogether. |
This is the first step to fix issue #158, consistent behavior for all cases. This problem was also reported by @lonkamikaze through IRC.
Normally Q2 writes all persistent data (the configurations, saves, etc.) into a subdirectory in the users $HOME. That can be a problem when the game is installed onto an thumb drive or something like that. Therefor provide a cvar fs_portable. When set to 1 the games uses it binary dir as it's persistent storage location. Examples: ./quake2 +set fs_portable 1 ./quake2 +set basedir ~/games/quake2 +set fs_portable 1 fs_portable is _not_ saved into the config file. It must be set at every start! This closed issue #158.

Okay, I've just pushed the fix. When fs_portable is set to 1 the game writes it's configuration data, the savegames, etc. into the binary dir. An example: The game is installed to D:\quake2 and started with |

I'll compile and test it. |

@Yamagi It's work, but not all. |

I totally forgot about that files. I've just pushed a fix. |

It's called 'portalable', now. And no longer 'fs_portable'. |
|
@Yamagi It's still creates dir YamagiQ2 and std*.txt files in it. I'm using |

That's very nice to know. Thank you! |
Latest client still creates and uses files from Documents directory only (C:\Users%USER%\Documents\YamagiQ2).
How I can set it fully portable? If I start Quake 2 with "+set game baseq2" parameters, it uses saves and config form game dir, but still creates YamagiQ2 dir in Documents and saves logs there.
