about %appdata%:
in my opinion %appdata% is not a proper location to store such files. It should be %localappdata%
there is no need for these files to be carried by roaming profiles. Even if it is very unlikely that anyone playing ren is having a homenet with server based profiles and randomly logging in to different computers and so on.

FYI: The %localappdata% shortcut didn't exist in Windows XP, it was introduced in either Windows Vista or Windows 7. So using that would have made it hard for Windows XP users to find their ttfs folder.



And, who plays Renegade on domain connected machines anyway? Its very unlikely that any significant proportion of players would ever have their profile roam any further than their C:\ drive.

(As it happens, I actually do have a profile that roams between my home PCs, but that's just because I setup an AD server simply because I could, not because I have any particular need for it. It usually ends up being more of a PITA than it's worth when things unexpectedly follow me from one computer to another Razz They will probably not be setup on a domain the next time they get re-installed for whatever reason... )


I agree to that! I forgot that XP doesn't have that environment var by default.
