Bug 154551 – SDB won't load levels

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ivan 2006-11-09 03:44:01 UTC]

Whenever I try and play sdb (Shotgun Debugger), it comes up with an error message saying that the level could not be found.  The only way I've managed to get this to work is by starting the game inside /usr/share/games/sdb/levels/ and run it with "sdb level*.vl", where * is one of the level numbers.

Furthermore, when I tried to run "sdb -h", it assumed that I was trying to load a level called "-h.vl" and (obviously) couldn't find it, and until I loaded a valid file via the command line kept trying to find this file.  I assume this is an upstream problem...
