I made a mod that makes it easy to create save files for Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring, but it should only work for my PC and not others. Can someone help me make it so that everyone who downloads it can use it. To get to the save file, you need to go to the appdata folder and find the game that the user wants to make a save fil,e and then find the sl2 file(the save file itself), and copies it to a folder that is on my PC. The save file folder that is in appdata is a long string of numbers, and it is different for everyone, what that means is that my code only works for me.

In Python, you can access your local user by using os.getlogin . However, the difficult part would be to find ds30000.sl2 . The best way to to this is with os.walk in my opinion. Refers to this question for an easy explanation.

import os
import shutil
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox
from tkinter import ttk

# Define paths for both games
ds3_path = r'C:\Users\{0}\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII'.format(os.getlogin())

for dirpath, dirfolders, files in os.walk(ds3_path):
    for file in files:
        if file == "ds30000.sl2":
            ds3_path = os.path.join(dirpath, file)

elden_ring_path = r'C:\Users\{0}\AppData\Roaming\EldenRing'.format(os.getlogin())

for dirpath, dirfolders, files in os.walk(elden_ring_path):
    for file in files:
        if file == "ER0000.sl2":
            elden_ring_path = os.path.join(dirpath, file)

destination_dir = 'D:\\Temporary Souls Like Save Files'
