OSX - poor directory choices

[hhaamu]

Hello

The directory choices on your OSX build are very inconvenient.

• The user files are being saved to wherever OpenTTD.app is located. I do not want a config file in /Applications/
  • The correct location is $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/OpenTTD/
• The data and music files are in the application bundle. This makes upgrading a chore (copy data files safe, copy new application bundle in place, copy data files back).
  • Proper location: /Library/Application\ Support/OpenTTD/
  • Getting them copied automagically may require an installer

Disclaimer: my "locations" may be off, I only got my hands on OSX a few months ago.


I think the correct parameters for make are

Code: Select all

USE_HOMEDIR=1 PERSONAL_DIR="Library/Application Support/OpenTTD/ DATA_DIR="/Library/Application Support/OpenTTD/"

currently the path system is being rewritten for all platforms. Once Darkvater is done, I will look at issues like this. It's planned, but it takes time to do it right

As it is now, it works, but it's actually not designed to be in the application folder yet.
