Sooo.
First of all, my English is not perfect so please dont be harsh with the critic of my language.
Now after about 7 hours of work i got it running. A setup of ScummVM with some games in it which is Path independend, means you can move the Dictionary where ever you want and dont have to actualize the path. And on top you dont have to run the scummvm directly.
Ok to make it clear here is the Data Structure ive got at last:
Point and Click Adventures
|-Data
| |-Different Dictionarys for the Games
| |-ScummVM Dictionary
|-Different .exe Files to Start the different Games
Ok i hope its clear enough. Now the problem in making this work is that the Paths are like this:
C:Programm Files\Point and Click Adventures\Data\BrokenSword1\
Ok so when i move the ScummVM Dictionary to lets say an USB Drive then none of the Games would work. So I Created a Config File in the ScummVM Dictionary in which the Pathes are Relative. Just about This:
Data\BrokenSword1\
So Thats not difficult but i wanted Shortcuts too because i dont want to start ScummVM every time. So i made .bat Files for every game with this in it:
"Data\ScummVM\ScummVM.exe" --Config=Config.ini sword1
Sword1 is of course the Game ID Shown in the ScummVM. Ok Now all the .bat Files are ugly and look the same. So i took the bat to exe converter and saved them in exe files and added trough this converter a fitting icon. So at last i recommend to change the save path in the Config.ini to a relative Path too so the Saves would transfere too if you take the setup to an USB Drive.
So. I hope this helps. And if some kind of Tutorial for this exists already, well i couldnt find it and it would have helped a lot.
