Better folder structure
Richard Robertson:
I know it's a design issue. That's why I brought it up.

Why shouldn't it be writing there, isn't that just a bit handicapped? Are you seriously telling me you're complaining about where the game is writing its files for the time you play? What are you trying to do with your computer that this is a problem. The folder layout of Blockland is so simple, what you are asking isn't simple at all. You want random folders all over your computer which are very loving annoying specially if the Add-ons/mods etc are going on your C:/ drive which is usually small and have no HDD space to begin with. Its not how Torque is supposed to work.

I can pretty much guarantee that Badspot will not make any changes to the engine that allow it to mess with files outside of the game folder. Installing somewhere else or disabling UAC are the solutions.
I run Blockland from an external drive and it works just fine. It's more or less a "portable" app; it doesn't install any drivers or DLLs and it doesn't add keys to the registry.
I prefer that Badspot spend his Blockland time on bug fixes and new features instead of catering to "programmers" bitching about menial stuff.

P.S. The "virtual store" mechanism employed by Vista and 7 is bullstuff.

isn't there an edit button in S&R?
EDIT: yeah, there is, right in the corner
