    posted a message on Wind Waker Texture Pack! [WIP]
    You could make it a high-res texture pack, this way it would be more faithful to Wind Waker and it would fit perfectly on the game.
    As of now it looks like you're using plain colors as textures.

    Actually, the question is perfectly legitimate, and didn't call for a sarcastic response.
    For those of you that don't understand what a "Portable" App is, it's a program that saves all its data in the same folder it's copied to. For instance, there's a portable version of Firefox that can be stuck on a USB flash drive, and it keeps the history, cache, cookies, addons and databases in the folder along with the program, never once having to touch files on the system's hard disk.

    As for Minecraft...
    Using either the EXE or browser version of Alpha saves the files to the Application Data folder under the Windows username you're under. For Vista and Win7, it stores it in the Roaming AppData folder.

    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\.minecraft
    Vista/7: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft

    Unless running the .JAR file in that location directly from the USB stick solves the problem, you're just going to have to copy to and from that location to migrate your save data.


    Thanks, I already knew the location of the save files so I was thinking about making two little.bat executables, one that would copy from the pendrive to the local appdata I'm using and another one that would copy from the appdata to the pen drive, guess that would be very useful for anyone else thinking about the same thing I am.
    Then I read this post:

    It's basically an app that can keep folders in sync when you run it, based on the last time the file was updated, etc.
    You can keep the .minecraft/save folder of your home PC, the university PC and a custom folder on your pendrive in sync with this by just a few mouseclicks :wink.gif:


    Didn't know about that program, guess I'll give it a shot, seems simpler than my ideas. Thanks, man! :smile.gif:

    posted a message on Portable Minecraft
    I recently bought Minecraft and I was wondering if I could put it on my pendrive without losing my world.
    I spent some time in university doing nothing at the labs and I really want to bring it with me without all the hassle to copy and paste the save files from appdata everytime I want to play or leave.
    Is it possible to do it?
    Thanks.
