Description Piotr Szymaniak 2008-03-19 23:25:43 UTC

Taking a screenshot crashes the game with:
Error: Error opening /usr/share/games/quake1/id1/quake00.tga: Permission denied
Couldn't write config.cfg.
uninstalling grabs!

Also, when changing key configuration and then quiting the game:
Couldn't write config.cfg.

And when saving game state:
Saving game to /usr/share/games/quake1/id1/s0.sav...
ERROR: couldn't open.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nprquake-sdl
2. start
3. try to save the game
4. try to take a screenshot (press F12)



Expected Results:  
Config files, screenshots and save states should be saved like in other fps engines.
ie. like darkplaces:
~ $ ls .darkplaces/id1/
benchmark.log  qconsole.log  s1.sav  s4.sav  screenshots
config.cfg     s0.sav        s2.sav  s5.sav
~ $ ls .darkplaces/hipnotic/
config.cfg


I wonder how this got into stable with those issues?

I used source from http://www.geocities.com/coolguywithgun/ -- there's a new render added and few small fixes.

What works:
* read/write to proper directory in users $HOME/.nprquake/
* Most Gentoo patches

What is wrong:
* GENTOO_LIBDIR and GENTOO_DATADIR - can't compile with those two. Compilation always dies.

Works fine for me on two boxes, used the source from comment #1 with new render.
