Multiuser Support on Windows NT based sysems
On Windows NT based systems (e.g. Windows XP), 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 systems using the English language,
this is usually a directory named:
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\"
Such a link would work for all users and would work on non-English versions
of Windows.
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:
