[EXTERNAL FILES] Can't read external file!

[RaptrStudios]

I have a game that needs to read external files on the hard drive, and assign them to a variable. The way it is setup now works with the files without exporting it to a .love and with a .love file. However it does not work with a .exe file! How do i fix this?
Here is the source

Basic Example:

Code: Select all

	if not love.filesystem.exists('money.lua') then
		love.filesystem.write("money.lua", "p.amount_money\n=\n" ..p.money)
	end

That's because .exe's have different save paths than normal games.

When a fused game in release mode is run it will not save in the love save dir, but rather one for itself, whereas previously it would be %APPDATA%\\LOVE\\game on Windows, it now is %APPDATA%\\game. This concept applies to other platforms as well.
