| | Ah, okay, hadn't noticed that change. The one thing I still don't see... how to do relative paths for the directories? | | Top |

| What directories do you have in mind?
See this lengthy thread:
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=7776
If you specify the plugins directory (say) as a relative path, then MUSHclient changes the ./ part of the pathname to be relative to the directory MUSHclient started up in. |

| | How do I go about that? I was going to try just typing a relative path in to see if it worked, but I can't seem to find a way to type a path in at all. It just comes up with a box asking me to browse for the folder. | | Top |

| You would need to use the sqlite3 program offline (ie. while the client is not running) to change the global preferences database. For example:
sqlite3 mushclient_prefs.sqlite
sqlite> UPDATE prefs SET value = './blahblah' WHERE name = 'PluginsDirectory';
sqlite> .exit
You can get that program from:
http://www.sqlite.org/download.html
Look for "Precompiled Binaries For Windows" -> "A command-line program for accessing and modifying SQLite version 3.* databases.".
At present that is: http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite3-3.6.14.bin.gz |

| | And I'm supposed to do that every time? It seems kind of... overinvolved, just to change a directory. I really dislike the idea of having to be messing with SQL stuff. That's why I was hoping here for a program that could handle it. | | Top |

| | No, you do it once. You haven't answered my question about which directory you need to have a relative path to. Perhaps I am answering the wrong question. |

| I have created a page explaining how to create a portable aardwolf mushclient.
http://code.google.com/p/bastmush/wiki/PortableMushclient
The part that you really want to pay attention to is the editing of the mushclient_prefs.sqlite database.
