I think it might have to do with Appdrive$ or Apppath$. I'm using MMF2. Sandwich Time!Whoo!

Emomiilol Registered 07/11/2007 Points 194	15th July, 2008 at 21:52:03 - Youre on the right track!! When asked for the directory you can use this code. Appdrive$+Appdir$+"name of your file" Edited by the Author. n/a

I tried both of your suggestions, but neither one works. Sandwich Time!Whoo!

Emomiilol Registered 07/11/2007 Points 194	15th July, 2008 at 23:09:51 - aha... I think mmf/tgf automatically put the readme file in the gamedir when you install the game. This box is just so mmf should know witch doc to use. or am i wrong..?? sorry, for my bad english! (maybe) Edited by the Author. Edited by the Author. Edited by the Author. n/a

Jon Lambert Administrator Vaporware Master Registered 19/12/2004 Points 8235	16th July, 2008 at 01:10:28 - Still confused... so if my file is in, say C:\Users\John\Documents, and the readme's filename is readme.txt in the same folder, then what exactly should I type?

Emomiilol Registered 07/11/2007 Points 194	16th July, 2008 at 04:56:39 - Then you should type C:\Users\John\Documents\readme.txt When your game is finnished make sure to include that readme file in the zip file or installer. n/a

Type readme.txt and MMF should look in the game's own folder. Edited by the Author. http://bfollington.tumblr.com

Why don't you just try a few things and see which one works?
