| | I don't have one of those, but can you tell me in what way it doesn't work, if you just copy the MUSHclient directory onto it? |

| Sorry to Necro this thread, but a few things to mention...
Currently using the 4.43 version on a USB stick, not too many problems other than the changing drive location issue and the global preferences having a hard time dealing with changing drive letter with reference to plugins you want to load up.
I did follow the aardwolf information on using the sqlite to modify the preference file, although did not understand the worldlist part and left that blank.
(Not going to aardwolf, btw, so that is why I didn't understand it.)
What I did notice for the desired plugins was that it wanted to use the drive letter pathing when you specify plugins you wanted to load, which then generated errors.
Going back to the original point of the U3 Compatible part, the SanDisk and maybe other Memory sticks uses the U3 Launchpad. Another program I use, SecureCRT by Van Dyke, has a U3 installer where you can install it as a program onto the U3 launchpad like some of the other U3 apps and it basically puts the app data into the document section of the USB drive there, without worry of what the Drive letter maybe.
Also, I did notice under the 'File' where it shows the most recent executed worlds, I think this is also a similar issue where it uses the evaluated path versus the working path of where the default location is defined.
I would ask if there is a way to modify it so that it for things like the recent used worlds and the plugins within the client execute based on relative path versus evaluated path. This might make overall USB conversion easier and as for the U3 compatible, I think it is more about just adapting the program to become U3 Launchpad installable.

| The paths have been pretty annoying to me as well, but my USB drive bailed on me a little while ago and I forgot about it. I worked around it by mounting my USB drive under C:\U3DRIVE (in Disk Management, somewhere in one of the administrative tools under program files -> applications), and basing all of my paths off of C:\U3DRIVE.
A U3 installer would be nice but absolutely not required, sine MUSHclient behaves pretty well already on a USB drive. The only issue is really the absolute paths; it used to use the registry too, but it moved to an local sqlite3 database instead so that's not a problem. |

| | You can go into your Disk Management applet from the control panel and change the drive letter for any portable drive permanently. I have my USB flash mounted as J: on every machine I use. Saves me a lot of path headaches, and it's very simple to do. (Now, if you don't have admin privileges, you have to live with the headaches...) | | Top |
