Hey guys. Corey's idea sounds rather easy, but i have been doing this a diff way. One i think might be safer. One that may save you from overwriting the wrong files causing loss of tourny data or loss of changes made to layouts etc if you copy them the wrong way. Or maybe you forget to copy them to the laptop before you leave to go to a tourny. Anyway, here is what i have been using.
I first mapped a drive on my desktop which linked to the TD folder of my laptop and gave it the drive letter Z.
I then mapped a drive on my laptop which looked into the same folder on the laptop and gave it the drive letter Z.
Then i sat where i would rather do my work, in front of my desktop. From here, I loaded my default tourny i use to setup new tourny's from. I changed all the configs etc to look into the new drive letter Z. So (Z:\saves) and (Z:\templates) and (z:\sounds). This is the same stuff you need to change to get corey's idea to work. I then went to each tab and saved the table template, the layout template and everything else i could save to the proper folders on drive Z. (This way, when you save your tourny it will save the path of all its files to Z) This is something you would not have to do in Corey's idea. But I still think its worth it so you only have one active copy of each file, rather than two which could get out of sync. For the FIRST SAVE ONLY, save this default tourny to the DESKTOP, then save it AGAIN, to the save folder on drive Z. By doing this, you can then copy the whole game folder from the desktop to the laptop to update all the config files etc there so they too will look at drive Z for thier files. ITS VERY IMPORTANT YOU SAVE IT TO THE DESKTOP FIRST, THEN AGAIN TO DRIVE Z, BEFORE YOU COPY THE COMPLETE TD FOLDER TO THE LAPTOP. You only do this once. For ever more, just save all tourny's or templates you create to drive Z. You will not have to copy any files again, and all files will always be in Sync.
The only complaint i have with this idea now is that when you first open TD, it defaults to look into the root folder of where its loading from for its files. Odd when you figure you just told the config files to look in drive Z for saving and loading templates etc. But once you navigate to drive Z to save or load the first file, it will default to looking there the next time you try to save. Until of course you close TD again. It will reset back to the default root folder next time you load it. Bummer.
So Corey, can we get a update that will change this? Can we have TD look into the folder listed in the config when you try to open a tourny or template etc? Why does this not happen now? Am i doing something wrong?
And one more thing, so i didn't get confused on where i was saving stuff. I deleted all the files in the save, template and sounds folders on my desktop. So when i go to save something now, and see no files in there, i know i am in the wrong place.
