I would like to know how to change directorys so you can save a .sav file in a diffrent directory than the folder the game is in which u are running.

Any help at all I would be thankful or maybe just pointing me in the right way.

instead of naming it "Savefile.sav" name it "Saves/Savefile.sav".

You might want to specify the file's .cd as "Saves" too.

Yes but would the Saves dir still be in the game dir u are running it from?

If so thats not what I want I want to make the .sav file in a diffrent dir rather than in the Game Dir.

I do beleive there is a way to do this, though I'll need to look it up. I'll get back to you if and when I have the answer.

You have to use the ".." operator to switch to the parent directory as many times as needed then move from there, here's an example:

var/savefile/F = new("../Shining/players.sav")

This will go outside the current folder, go into the folder called Shining and put players.sav there.

I don't think you can be hosting in safe mode though because it won't allow you to access files outside of the current directory.
