novisionary Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hello. I posted some months back , intending to play through BG1 or somesuch using GemRB. I gave up simply because I didn't have enough time back then. Now I have decided to playthrough IWD. I have it installed and working properly, but when I run GemRB 0.6.4 it tells me it can't find the GemRB.cfg file. Why could this be? Link to comment
Guest Maartenmk Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hello.

I have it installed and working properly, but when I run GemRB 0.6.4 it tells me it can't find the GemRB.cfg file. Why could this be? Doesn't it tell you in the command line window? For me it works, the config file is in the GemRB folder, on C: Link to comment
novisionary Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Yes, there is a file named GrmRB.cfg in the GemRB folder. It seems I cannot upload files in my posts. I would simply upload an image showing my setup if it were possible. Is it possible that an older version put something into the regirsty telling the program to look for a config that no longer exists? Link to comment
lynx Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 gemrb doesn't use the registry at all. Btw, you can run gemrb from the dos prompt and use -c (/c i guess) path\to\the\config to pass it the config directly. eg: gemrb -c C:\afasfsdfsfs.cfg Link to comment
novisionary Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 No Lynx, that does not seem to work. Perhaps the command prompt in Windows 7 has lost some functionality, I remember it working differently. Also, the GemRB.cfg file is also described as a "sample" fiel, what's up with that?

GemRB ships only a gemrb.cfg.sample, you have to edit it and save it as gemrb.cfg It is not just "described" as sample, it is its extension. You fell for the silly windows style of displaying file names. This is one of the reasons, i hate window's file explorer. Total Commander ftw. Link to comment
novisionary Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Changing it into a .cfg changes nothing. Does the gemRB.cfg.noinstall file matter? Link to comment
lynx Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 are you sure it's not GemRB.cfg.cfg now? It's a sample, since you have to modify it - change the path to the game. Link to comment
Guest Edheldil Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Open command prompt and type dir c:\gemrbdir . There should be GemRB.cfg file there. GemRB.cfg-sample does not count. GemRB.cfg-noinstall.sample is mainly of interest to developers, ignore it. Link to comment
alx3apps Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I had the same issue as OP with IWD, GemRB searching for config in ./GemRB.cfg, then in ./.GemRB/GemRB.cfg and then exited. I solved it by cleaning ./cache folder, it seems that windows IWD installer (or widescreen mod) write something there, that confused GemRB. Running 0.6.4 on android with limited output in aLogcat, maybe on desktop there are less cryptic error messages. Hope it will help someone. Link to comment
alx3apps Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 To clear my previous post, on desktop (linux) with alien folders in ./cache folder I have output: [Config]: Trying to open GemRB.cfg [OK] **contains another dir** [Core]: Cache path ./cache doesn't exist, not a folder or contains alien files! Press enter to continue...^C Seems quite clear to me. But the same situation on android make output: I/GemRB (3257): Config: Trying to open I/printf: (3257): GemRB.cfg I/GemRB (3257): [OK] I/GemRB (3257): Core: I/GemRB (3257): Config: Trying to open I/printf: (3257): /sdcard/app-data/iwd/.GemRB/sdl.cfg I/GemRB (3257): [NOT FOUND] I/GemRB (3257): Config: Trying to open I/printf: (3257): /sdcard/app-data/iwd/.GemRB/GemRB.cfg I/GemRB (3257): [NOT FOUND] I/GemRB (3257): Core: Could not load config file I/GemRB (3257): [ERROR] After cleaning ./cache folder it runs fine.

Avenger Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 You mean, that some log messages that appear in desktop logs won't appear in android logs? I think this has been fixed in recent sources. Logging (printing) is now unified. Link to comment

alx3apps Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Found troll death bug, blocking gameplay for me. At level2 in Dragon's Eye dungeon some trolls don't want to lay down ant waiting for melf's arrow. After receiving heavy damage they go to "Almost Dead" but continueing to attack and ignores any other damage, even acid and fire untill kills all my group. I think they are trolling me . Reproduced on 1548b9091cfa116c44f2497e80562a18184bf779 and on 0.6.4. Savegame: http://www.mediafire.com/?bl1nj2hw7udevxe Cannot attach log right now, if it needed please let me know. Link to comment
