GameMaker invalid rundata fix script.

For my first post I thought I would share a script I have been using to fix gamemaker when I use gamemaker with both the script I used on windows and the one I recently made for linux.

For windows I used the following script.
@Echo Off Robocopy "%Userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\fixgm\assetfolder" "%Userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\GameMaker" /it color 02 echo RUNDATA REPLACED timeout 5

How this works is you create a folder called fixgm that you put in Appdata/Roaming with another folder inside fixgm called assetfolder which you copy the contents from the Gamemaker folder located in Roaming when the rundata still works.
As it is in a different folder and not being run the folder stays the same which means you can restore the gamemaker folder to a working state.

Just save the code as a batch file (.bat) after adding the folders.
The folders have to be in the right location but the batch file can run from anywhere.

Now for Linux the code I use is as follows.

cp -r /home/$USER/Games/fixgm/GameMaker /home/$USER/Games/gamemaker/drive_c/users/$USER/AppData/Roaming/

Here I made the linux version of the same code but used the linux cp instead of the windows robocopy.

You can save the code as a text file. After saving the file right click it go to properties permissions and click run as executable.

This code works similar to the windows code except I have a Games folder which holds all my Lutris programs. if you run Lutris but have a different directory setup just change the second directory to go to that folder. (Note it is case sensitive.)

A side note %Userprofile% and $USER are the windows and linux variables for the current user.
