Using other locations for objects

[SovietTiger]

Ok, here's the deal:

I have a solid HD that has not much space. As I like this game so much, I use a lot of the space on it, but I cannot have Hook Objects in the same drive, just so many GB.

That's the reason I moved the Objects to other Drive and then I noticed I cannot use them in the Hook GUI if they're not in the same drive... But I can still use them if I edit the [pass] files from the specific rooms.

 

My question is: Is there a way to set a different "_hook data" path from a drive to another?  Say, If my game is in drive C:\ and my Objects are on D:\?

I know I saw it somewhere, but now I cannot find it. I want to change, say, my _hook5data to a bigger drive to save space in one drive and to be able to use the hook objects in other drive.

you can specify location of _hook5data folder in main11.fx,open main11.fx in a text editor and specify cSharedHookFolder

Is there a gain in performance of I move the _hook5data stuff out from Klub17, and update the according link like mentioned above?

@loki1968@SovietTiger ?

I've noticed no performance improvement, but I might be wrong.

The topic was made for matter of space saving (and it served it's porpoise), not really for  performance improving.

Just to throw this joke and say that I'm doing the same thing! It's working like a charm. Thanks!
