Enhancement: Warn on R-II path in OneDrive/non-ascii on startup #518
Conversation
For the installer it's a bit different, because the default folders default to Reloaded's directory. But in this case, you may actually also want to check the Mods folder location from the The user can technically remap the mods folder location via the The actual problematic folder is the |
I poorly worded it by forgetting to remove 'instead' at the end. I meant to say 'in addition'. |
I just tried moving the folder and seeing what changed in the config.
I don't really see a point to check for a custom edited \Mods folder, since there's no flow in the UI to edit this. |
The config paths reset if the locations they point to are invalid. If they are valid, they are used. A user may opt to move their folder while the program is closed and then edit the .json before starting the program again. That should work/be recognised. Note the config is written to on window close, hence the need to change after closing. |
Resolves #502
On boot, this appears if OneDrive or non-ascii chars are detected in the path Reloaded-II is contained in:
Clicking OK dismisses and the program continues as usual.
This will appear every time if detected.
I debated about introducing "ignore permanently", but ultimately the goal of this is to inform users and reduce possible issue reports relating to path issues, so I think its wise to permanently nag the user if these scenarios are detected.

For the first time user, this would appear and then the R-II Tutorial would appear at the same time if the detection occurs. They must complete or skip the tutorial before they can interact with the warning. After both are dismissed the main window loads.
I don't consider this case very likely, as first time users would hopefully have been automatically moved to a safe directory per #504. And while its less than ideal visually, nothing is broken in this first-time state.
