save by OS version

is it possible to save file to specific place depending on what operation system it is running on?

I mean if it is windows vista save it to c: etc...

else save it to d:etc...

can i do that?

i tried sys info, but there is no condition for OS type

The only way I can think of is to write a plugin for that purpose.

Elyzius: is it hard to make it? how can i learn to make plugins?

After long time of trying I figured out how to do it without plugins...

It is a bit wierdly made application, but it seems working :)

i tried it on windows 7 a windows XP and for not it works...

if anyone here will need it i uploaded it here:

There's a far more easier way.

SysInfo provides the "Get OS version" expression (SysInfo.GetOS). It is a string containing a bunch of information, e.g.

"Windows XP (Professional), (Terminal Services in Remote Admin Mode), (Multiprocessor Free), (x86-32 Processor) v5.1 Build:2600 Service Pack: 3"

Well, of all that text, all you need is the internal version number, in this case "v5.1". You can get this converted to a number using:

float(mid(SysInfo.GetOS, find(SysInfo.GetOS, ") v") + 3, 3))

After that your conditons should compare against the version numbers. It's 5.1 for Win XP, 6.0 for Win Vista and 6.1 for Win 7

A list of the version numbering can be found here: http://www.gaijin.at/lstwinver.php

And here is an example cap, using the description above: osversion.cap

The browser shouldn't really have direct access to the file system. Be careful that browsers don't all together block your game :)

I'm referring to JS not modifying files - not the basics of a browser accessing the cache etc.

I need to use same path for windows 7 and for windows vista. will it work if I will make this? (i would try it, but i have not windows vista)

system: is global variable �osversion� equal to 6.1

or

system: is global variable �osversion� equal to 6.0

just need to know if i am using "or" conditon right for this case,

thanks

I'd prefer to not use the 'or' condition. It may not behave as you'd expect. Better use the system's evaluation condition:

+ System: global('osversion') = 6.0 or global('osversion') = 6.1

it writes error in parameter 1...

how exactly do i need to write it?

thanks

The parser has problems sometimes interpreting the correct order. Try setting the equations in brackets:

(global('osversion') = 6.0) or (global('osversion') = 6.1)

it works, thanks!
