Custom save file location

[TehStoneMan]

I would like to save a file related to my mod. This file would be client side to provide for private data related to the mod, as well as another version server side for public data. I would like to know where would be the best place / filepath to save this file, and also how to get the map name / server info for the current game.

 

Thank you.

No, it's not a config file. It's a set of waypoint data to be saved as an XML file. Personal waypoints, or waypoints for a server without my mod installed, are to be saved client side, and I would like to have the filename the same as the server or map name, if I could find out how to get that information.

 

I would also like to have publicly shared waypoints, to be saved server side. I'm just wondering what the suggested file location to save these files (like in a subfolder under the "Mods" folder?) and the recomended way of getting /  setting this filepath in Forge.

 

Also, as already mentioned, I would like to now how to get the server info (or the map name in single player) for use in generating the filename.
