This page describes the paths for data created during the game. For the layout of data bundled with the game, see [wiki:Finding_Your_Way_Around Finding Your Way Around].

[[TOC(inline,heading=Operating System)]]

== Windows ==
'''Note:''' If you only want to find the game's logs on Windows and you installed an Alpha release, use the '''Start menu > 0 A.D. alpha > Open logs folder''' shortcut; SVN users can run [source:/ps/trunk/source/tools/openlogsfolder/OpenLogsFolder.bat source/tools/openlogsfolder/OpenLogsFolder.bat] instead.

=== Vista/ Windows 10 ===
For saved games, replays, screenshots and mod data (eg: saved maps):

 * `C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents\My Games\0ad\`
 * Just view "Documents" or "My Documents" in Explorer.

For logs and cache:

 * `C:\Users\JohnDoe\AppData\Local\0ad\`
 * You can use the `%localappdata%` variable as a shortcut: `%localappdata%\0ad\`

For user config and possibly other user data:

 * `C:\Users\JohnDoe\AppData\Roaming\0ad\`
 * You can use the `%appdata%` variable as a shortcut: `%appdata%\0ad\`

=== XP / 2000 ===
For saved games, replays, screenshots and mod data:

 * `C:\Documents and Settings\JohnDoe\My Documents\My Games\0ad\`
 * Just view "My Documents" in Explorer.

For logs and cache:

 * `C:\Documents and Settings\JohnDoe\Local Settings\Application Data\0ad\`

For user config and possibly other user data:

 * `C:\Documents and Settings\JohnDoe\Application Data\0ad\`
 * You can use the `%appdata%` variable as a shortcut: `%appdata%\0ad\`

'''Note:''' These paths are localized, for instance in German the logs path is `C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Max Mustermann\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\0ad\logs`.

== macOS ==
Apple's [http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/General/Conceptual/MOSXAppProgrammingGuide/AppRuntime/AppRuntime.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010543-CH2-SW9 guidelines] are followed as closely as possible.

For non-cache data created during the game:

 * `~/Library/Application\ Support/0ad/`

For cached data:

 * `~/Library/Caches/0ad/`

'''Note:''' `~`(`Alt`+`N`) is a shorthand for the current user directory. The `Library` folder is hidden by default, just press `Shift`+`cmd`+`.` to see it. Image below for more clarity.

----
== Linux ==
Standard [http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html XDG base directories] are used.

For most data created during the game (replays, screenshots, savegames):

 * `~/.local/share/0ad/`
 * Up to A19, replays would be found in ~/.config/0ad/logs/sim_log

For user config and logs:

 * `~/.config/0ad/`

For cached data:

 * `~/.cache/0ad/`

'''Note:''' "~" is a shorthand for the current user directory.
