How To Use This Gem

Since this gem uses the SaveData gem, it is not meant to be used in the O3DE editor, but rather with your exported .GameLauncher game distribution binary.

So to use this gem, you must export your game as a distributable binary by running the export.sh or export.bat script within your project directory, and then running your game using either <project-directory>/build/export/<project-name>GamePackage/<project-name>.GameLauncher or <project-directory>/build/launcher/bin/release/<project-name>.GameLauncher.

Whenever you perform a save of either plain-text string data or an object and its attributes, you will find the save files at the following locations in your filesystem:

Linux:

• ~/.local/share/<project-name>.GameLauncher/SaveData/<plain-text-data-file-name>.savedata (this is a plain text file)
• ~/.local/share/<project-name>.GameLauncher/SaveData/<object-file-name>.savedata (this is a binary file)

Windows:

• Same files as Linux except they could be located in any of the following directories (retrieved using the Windows SHGetKnownFolderPath function):
  • C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local
  • C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming
  • C:\Users\{username}\Documents
  • C:\Users\{username}\Saved Games
