Dir Structure for Data

[connor2k]

Allow the ability to set the directory the data is pulling from or default it to the current dir with the full path dynamically.

Something like
tu_optimize mydeck yourdeck -dir subfolder sim 10000
and then customdeck,... will be searched in subfolder instead of data?

Actually, I am repurposing your code to use it for our guild website and I noticed I have to recompile it with the full path of the files for it to work. So dynamically getting the full path like:
#include <windows.h>
#include
#include
using namespace std;;

string ExePath() {
char buffer[MAX_PATH];
GetModuleFileName( NULL, buffer, MAX_PATH );
string::size_type pos = string( buffer ).find_last_of( "/" );
return string( buffer ).substr( 0, pos);
}

int main() {
cout << "my directory is " << ExePath() << "\n";
}

and set a variable to reuse where it is looking for the datafiles.

Perhaps you can send me a pull request with your changes. Then I will add it to the mainline (if it does not break existing code :-)) and you can be sure to get the changes you need?

I hard coded in the paths for now. I am not much of a cpp developer
anymore. And I would need to do quite a bit of research to get it right. My
intentions were to do what you suggested, but I can't find the time lately.

I've had the same issue so would be good if this could be changed. At the moment I'm just hard coding the filepaths for cards.xml and missions.xml in the xml.cpp file which is working perfectly for me.
