bruno2016 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 CMBN: is it possible to move the "game files" folder from the C:\ install directory to a D:\ directory without reinstalling the game? for some reason I forgot, all the other CM modules I have installed have their game files in a specific D:\ directory and the .exe in the default C:\ install directory 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think moving your files to your D-Drive should have no problems. I installed the game when it asked me where to place the files, I put them on my SSD drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Yes, in addition to having the content files in the default directories I also so what chuckdyke does and have copies of all content on other drives so I can transfer the latest stuff to other computers easily and know that all computers have the same content. It's easy to reinstall the base games. Hard to again find and d/l the massive amount of mods and user-made content etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno2016 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 I meant: once the game is installed in the C:\ drive, can later the game files directory - only - be moved to D:\ and the game still access it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Ah... not sure about that as the game looks in certain directories for content, My guess is no. But, you could easily try it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because when CMBN was first released it was not yet common practice to store such things in "My Documents". AFAIK it cannot be changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno2016 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 ok thanks. true, all other modules can have their directories split. so wht I see with CMBN is then normal behavior. Will save me a lot of time. appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
