Use fs_homepath to set system home directory. com_homepath > changes ".q3a" (added after 1.36). Same problem with 'fs_homepath' than with 'com_homepath': # sudo -u ioq3 /usr/games/quake3/ioq3ded.i386 +exec yugiohjcj.config +set fs_homepath /tmp ioq3 1.36 linux-i386 Sep 23 2012 ----- FS_Startup ----- Unable to create directory "/root/.q3a", error is Permission denied(13) Filesystem call made without initialization recursive error after: Filesystem call made without initialization ... recursive error after: Filesystem call made without initialization Segmentation fault As you can see it continues to write to the "/root" directory. Why it doesn't work ? _______________________________________________ ioquake3 mailing list ioquake3@lists.ioquake.org http://lists.ioquake.org/listinfo.cgi/ioquake3-ioquake.org By sending this message I agree to love ioquake3 and libsdl.
