Reporting a broken level
If you find a bug in a level, just press "complain" on a level info screen. Your latest save will be sent to the server. There is no need to report it in issues, unless it requires some explanation. Results may appear here.
Working directory
/Users/{user}/AppData/Roaming/YKnytt/ for Windows, ~/.local/share/YKnytt/ for Linux
Custom data directory and portable installation
You can specify a custom data directory using the --data command line parameter:
YKnytt --data /path/to/custom/data
For portable installations (e.g., running from a USB drive), you can use a relative path:
YKnytt --data ./yknytt-data
This will store all game data (saves, downloaded worlds, cache, and settings) in the specified directory instead of the default user data directory.
Building
Requires Godot 3.6.1.stable.mono and mono-devel for Linux, or .NET Framework 4.8 Developer Pack for Windows with build tools from VS Code or from anywhere else.
Export settings
To properly export, knytt/worlds/* must be included in the export filters
To build a proper Android APK, activate "Internet" and "External Storage" permissions.
