Help relocating content directory
by Frgrbrgr » 23 Mar 2015, 18:57
I'm having difficulties moving where Forge looks for the content directory. The forge.profile.properties.example file is helpful and I correctly got my User directory relocated to my flash drive, but it's still looking in my Local AppData folder for cacheDir and cardPicsDir. Could somebody help or even just upload their own forge.profile.properties file that is working so I can copy off it? Much appreciated.

Not sure if it helps, but this is how mine is setup.
userDir=C:/Users/Chris/AppData/Roaming/Forge
# This is where forge will keep downloaded content, such as card pictures and
# updated price lists. The default values are:
# Windows: <your local application data directory>/Forge/Cache/
# (usually C:/Users/<your username>/Application Data/Local/Forge/Cache/)
# OSX: <your home directory>/Library/Caches/Forge/
# Linux: <your home directory>/.cache/forge/
cacheDir=C:/Users/Chris/AppData/Roaming/Forge/Cache
# This is where forge will download and/or look for card picture data. The
# directory structure and filenames are the same as those used by Magic
# Workstation, and if you have both programs installed, you can share the same
# picture database between them. The default value (for all plaforms) is:
# <the cacheDir defined above>/pics/cards/
cardPicsDir=
# You may also specify custom folder names for each set, just in case you are
# using any uncommon picture storage folder structure. Specify 3-letter codes
# from res/blockdata/setsdata.txt, an arrow (->) and the sub-folder name that
# holds card images from that edition. Separate records by a vertical bar (|).
# Ex: cardPicsSubDirs=LEA->Alpha|ROE->Rise of Eldrazi
cardPicsSubDirs=
# Forge server port. Values under 1024 won't work on Mac OSX or on the various *nixes.

Well shit, now it's working just fine. Here's my forge.profile.properties file below in case anybody else ever has this issue:friarsol wrote:Not sure if it helps, but this is how mine is setup.
