static bool Game.SetSaveGameDirectory(string directory)
Changes the directory where save game files are stored to the supplied directory.
If the directory does not exist, AGS will attempt to create it.
You cannot use fully qualified directories with this command (eg. C:GamesCoolSaves), because
the player might have installed your game to any folder, and they might not be running Windows.
Therefore, only two types of path are supported:
1. Relative paths (eg. "Saves"). This will create a "Saves" folder inside your game folder
2. The special tag $MYDOCS$ which allows you to create a folder for your save games
inside the user's documents folder. On Vista, this is the "Saved Games" folder;
on Windows XP and earlier, this is "My Documents". On Mac and Linux, currently this just points
to the game folder.
Returns true if the save game directory has been changed successfully; false if not.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not use this function. Instead, set the "Save games
folder name" property in the General Settings of the editor, which allows the save games to be
detected by Vista's Game Explorer, and avoids problems writing to the Program Files folder.
Example:
Game.SetSaveGameDirectory("$MYDOCS$/My Cool Game Saves");
will change the save game directory to "My Cool Game Saves" in My Documents, and create the
folder if it does not exist (might be useful to do this in game_start).
