Save Guild Wars Templates to Flash Drive? - Guild Wars Forums

Blufire613 · Jul 11, 2008, 03:20 AM // 03:20

How do I get Guild Wars to save Equipment and Skills templates to my flash drive instead of my computer? I currently have GW installed on a flashdrive to clear up some computer space, so I was wondering if I could move my templates there too. I'd also like to get GW to access them there too. How does one go about doing this?

Thanks

EDIT: I'm running Vista btw.

I do not think you can, if you could it would not be an in game thing, it would be an option somewhere in program file I think.

You cannot save directly to your flashdrive, but you can move the files from your computer to your flashdrive.

Where ever you put your GW file, open that, open Templates, and just move em that way.

I would assume that if you install GW and locate the folder originally to your flashdrive, then the templates would auto-save onto your flashdrive (as well as screen shots).

Nope, it's automatically looking in my documents.

You could write a batch file or some kind of script to copy templates from flash to user directory, run the game, then copy them back. Not the best solution, but it would work.

Well, that's your problem right there. Vista insists on putting Templates and Screen shots in My Documents, whether you want them there or not. I don't know if there's any way around that (other than switching to XP), but I'd like to be able to put mine on the D: drive with the rest of GW.

You can change the location of your Documents folder. This screenshot should show you how:

Only problem is it does that for your whole system, not just Guild Wars.
