Description Kimmo Sundqvist 2005-08-22 04:30:56 UTC
I have a directory called ~/doomsday that contains everything that is related to
the game Doom, and derived from it.  I try running Doom legacy (llxdoom) by a
commandline:

~/doomsday $ llxdoom -opengl -iwad doom2/doom2.wad -file leve/eternal/ETERNALL.WAD
Error: /usr/share/games/doom-data/doom2/doom2.wad not found

doom2.wad exists as ~/doomsday/doom2/doom2.wad.  With full path,
/home/username/doomsday/doom2/doom2.wad, or home-related path
~/doomsday/doom2/doom2.wad the game runs.  The pwad (ETENALL.WAD) can be given
whatever way (full path, path related to current dir, or path related to home
dir) and it works.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
I'd expect the specified -iwad to totally override any defaults the game engine
has built-in or installed.  If there is a good reason for the current behavior,
then just forget this bug.

This really should be fixed upstream, but if you have a patch for it, we'd apply it until upstream added it.

Removed from the tree.
