Future Cop MIT

Data directories

Future Cop MIT uses five types of data directories, for various data types:

Data Type Description
config Game configuration.
user Savedgame, screenshots.
win-data Original Windows game data.
mac-data Original Macintosh game data.
psx-data Original Playstation game data.

Note: Only one game data directory is needed to run this software.

For each data type, several directories are searched automatically, and the first matching one will be used.

Additionally, several command line parameters can be used to specify each data type location, if needed:

futurecopmit --config "path/to/config/dir/or/file" --user "path/to/user/dir/" --win-data "path/to/data/dir/"

Search algorithm

Directories location

Depending on the platform, different directories are used. They are searched in the order specified below.

For the configuration file, the directories listed are searched for the configuration file itself (named futurecop.ini) before being used. The directory marked with (default) will be used if no configuration file can be located in any of the searched directories.
