Put it anywhere that isn't protected by the OS. Many people choose their desktop or documents folders. I make my installer default to the desktop for this reason.

Ok, I don't know what I did and not even sure how it is happening. I installed MUSHClient on my desktop.

Everything was going fine until I decided to delete my state files to do a fresh load of a world.

My state files started to save within the folder that I have placed inside of 'world/plugins'. Is this something that is supposed to happen? They are not in a 'state' folder, just mixed in with my plugins and now interfere with loading up of my client. Is there a way to revert this?

Any advice?

I did a fresh install and it's all working right again. But is there something I need to avoid to prevent that from happening again?

The function GetGlobalOptionList shows all the global options (the default location of the state files is one of those):


for k, v in pairs (GetGlobalOptionList()) do 
  Note (v, " = ", GetGlobalOption(v)) 
end

In my case:


...
PluginList = 
PluginsDirectory = C:\Program Files (x86)\MUSHclient\worlds\plugins\
StateFilesDirectory = .\worlds\plugins\state\
...

Possibly the option StateFilesDirectory was (somehow) changed to be something different.
