queryModPath Question

[RandomHero13]

Hi

 

how do i get this to be for example "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\<gamename>\system\mods"?

 

i can enter the path manually but then it will only work for me. i tried queryModPath: () => '%AppData%\\gamename\\system\\mods' but that didnt work either

You can use a Vortex utility function to get that path dynamically.

import { util } from 'vortex-api' // TypeScript version
const { util } = requires('vortex-api') // JavaScript version

const docPath = path.join(util.getVortexPath('localAppData'), 'Starfield'); // Results in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Starfield"

Example from Starfield: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/game-starfield/blob/master/src/util.ts#L64

thank you, your answer pointed me in the right direction.

 

localAppData returns appdata/local

appData (that lowercase "a" really cost me time there) returns appdata/roaming

 

and it took me also awhile to spot the s at the end of requires ;)
