Datafile Location Errors

[Tylius]

Hmm, I did a bunch more searches on this also, found some posts about things similar, but they didn't solve my problem (maybe I was trying it the wrong way).

(I've read the FAQ and checked the readme file, maybe I missed something)

I've got the .exult.cfg in my home directory, with the datafiles place in /home/tylius/.exult/blackgate
and
/home/tylius/.exult/serpentisle

This is the part of my config file with the locations:




/home/tylius/.exult/blackgate/


blackgate




/home/tylius/.exult/serpentisle/




I've tried it with all the optional paths, variations on this and that, and it just doesn't seem to work, I keep getting told that the datafiles aren't found. If I run it in the actual game directory, it will find it for that one version (it will detect black gate in /blackgate, or serpent isle in /serpentisle)

When I run it from the terminal this is what it's telling me:

Exult version 1.1.2cvs

Can anyone help me out at all? Thanks in advance

My apologies It seems to have been a small error on my part, I still had my terminal under SU, so it was creating a default log in my root directory, running it normally solved the problem. So simple, for something that caused me at least half an hour of grief!
