Duke4.net Forums: Possible to specify save game directory? (re: saving on a network share) - Duke4.net Forums

Are there any command-line (or cfg settings) to specify the directory to store save-game data? I'd like to save my games on a network share to use them between multiple computers.

(I know it's possible to create symlinks [or similar] to redirect folders to network shares, but I think it's much cleaner if the game/engine supports it directly)

EDIT: It looks like the save games are created in the same directory as the game files and they can be specified using -j or -game_dir. However, using a network share on Windows doesn't appear to be work.

Example: eduke32 -game_dir "\\my_server\share\duke3d"

...but it doesn't find the GRP or RTS files.
