Studio: change name of game?

[Karlos]

How can I change the name of a new game I have created? I've changed my concept from an Ultima parody to a more serious Ultima-style game, so I wanted to change the name to reflect this.

I tried renaming the game directory, and changing all of the references to the old game to the new game, and updating the paths accordingly, but when I try to run the game, Exult crashes. Does something else need to be changed that I missed in order to rename a game?

there is an IDENTITY file that may need to be updated too.

Might be nice if Exult printed an error instead of crashing:-)

[Karlos]

Where's the identity file and what's it called?

IDENTITY

it holds the name of the game you are playing.

Take note of that for the docs.

Oh, I forgot to mention that altering this file did indeed fix the problem. On Linux, it was named identity (lower case) and was under the .exult/(gamename) directory.
