Exult Forum

I compiled exult for linux
./configure
make
make install
seems to run but it says that it cant find the data files
it says edit the configuration file
where is the configuration file
couldnt seem to find it in the readme files
and yes im semi new to linux =P

thanks

Should be ".exult.cfg" in your home directory.

The config file is in your home directory. It's named ".exult.cfg". (Note the leading dot.)

thanks guys
its there
but for some reason its still giving me the error
I copied the data files to the default folder
ultima7 to /home/myname/.exult/blackgate
and serpent to /home/myname/.exult/serpentisle

I copied them from a windows mounted File system so the permissions are all rwxr--r-- but I did make users the owner was myname

the error is the same, that it cant file the data files for serpent or u7

any ideas =P

/home/myname/.exult/blackgate

is not the default path. You should enter the path instead of the '.' in
.

yeah the path where the files are is "/home/fluxrez/.exult/blackgate"
the . means its a hidden folder right?
looking at the config file the default path shows "/home/fluxrez/.exult/blackgate"

I did however get exult to run
but only if I run it directly from the "/home/fluxrez/.exult/blackgate" or "/home/fluxrez/.exult/serpentisle"
its like not an absolute path

weird, so I guess im fine this way
just weird I have to run exult from those folders

but its working, so woot

Did you read my post? /home/.../.exult/blackgate is _not_ the default path.

well when I say "default path"
I mean the path that was already in ".exult.cfg"
which was "/home/fluxrez/.exult/blackgate"
which is where I put the files for u7

OH HAHAHAHA
I see what you mean

.

thats what I need to change
!!!! you rule

Why isn t that folder path filled in by default on nix, like all the other paths that are perfectly well recognised?

Why are you necroposting to a 15 years old thread? We do have defaults now for while http://exult.info/docs.php#path_config_nix
