Separate folder for mod

Hi, would it be possible to have some sort of parameter in a ini file like "mod_content_path=" or something so we could manage mod content in different folders/drives, leavin the original content structure intact ?

thanks

 

There are file managers already available for this. Not sure but I think it is called (ACidi that's something different, I will look for it in my downloads). or something similar.


edit: If that is wrong you could just make a symbolic link.

 

thanks, will check it out and see how it works

There is one for you.

 

Also in for this.
Sure, you can use a manager to manage the installed mods, but if you just provide a separate folder, it will be much much easier.
It doesn't have to be as sophisticated as in rfactor2.

e.g. Euro Truck 2 (or ATS) or even Farming Sim show how it's done.
There you just put a zip file into some folder (in Documents/Game/mod or similar).
The zip file holds the data (in a similar structure like it's already done), a descriptive file and that's it.
So easy to handle and can't be that hard to implement.

At least for apps it should be possible to place them in the respective documents folder, but for python apps that doesn't seem to work unfortunately.

 

It would be nice if its possible to use the savegame folder for mods.

These folders are already there so i think it was planned that way:
Documents\Assetto Corsa\content\cars
Documents\Assetto Corsa\content\showroom
Documents\Assetto Corsa\content\tracks

 

I use JSGME. It's generic enough to work with any game. All mods are stored in a MODS folder under the main game folder. It's fast and easy to use.
