World save location change?

[Greenerikas]

Is there any way to change where all my worlds and my character info is stored?

 

I know that its located at C:/%appdata%/7daystodie

But my C disk doesn't have enough space to create a world and then it just stops the game... And then I have to use Alt+F4 to leave again

There is a config option in serverconfig.xml in your 7d2d installation directory. I think I heard that some settings there are even used in SP setups. If you don't see a difference you might need to start a headless server.

 

The option is "UserDataFolder", it changes saves AND generated worlds (while "SaveGameFolder" only changes saves location). Do not forget to uncomment the entry after an edit

Putting saves on a different drive or path for the Client

 

Note: This is very helpful if you are running two versions of the client.

1. In your Steam games list, right-click the game in the left menu, and choose "Properties".
   
2. Click the "Local Files" Tab
   
3. Click the "Browse local files" button.
   
4. Copy serverconfig.xml file, and rename the copy to serverconfig.SP.xml (or any other name you'll remember).
   
5. Open serverconfigSP.xml in notepad and edit the save path to where you want the 7DTD Gamesaves to be stored.
   Most of the serverconfig.xml properties are ignored when running the Client version of the game, but that property does carry over correctly.
   Here is an example from my file:
   <property name="SaveGameFolder" value="D:\GameSaves\7DTD\a18Saves" />
   
6. Save AS serverconfig.SP.xml
   
7. Now go back to your Steam client library.
   
8. In your Steam games list, right-click the game in the left menu, and choose "Properties".
   
9. In the General Tab, click the "Set Launch Options" button.
   
10. Place the following in the box:
    
11. -configfile=serverconfig.SP.xml
     
    Now when you start the game it will use your set path for the save files.
