Problem using gemrb with BG1


Vador

Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

I downloaded and installed correctly gemrb (I'm on Linux). I made a wine installation of BG1 in ~/.wine/drive_c... and put the 5 CDs in /mnt/divers/BG/CD{1,2,3,4,5}, and put this in /usr/local/etc/gemRB.cfg :

 

GamePath=/home/nico/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Black Isle/Baldur's Gate/

CD1=/mnt/divers/BG/CD1/

CD2=/mnt/divers/BG/CD2/

CD3=/mnt/divers/BG/CD3/

CD4=/mnt/divers/BG/CD4/

CD5=/mnt/divers/BG/CD5/

 

But game fails to start :

 

nico@detritus:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Black Isle/Baldur's Gate$ gemrb -c /usr/local/etc/GemRB.cfg

GemRB Core Version v0.2.6 Loading...

Anyone can help ? The game works fine under wine.

The ini file should be in the <gemrbpath>/override/<gametype> path in the filesystem.

Maybe you need to set the GemRBPath config parameter too.

 

OK, it worked : I had to put

GemRBPath=/usr/local/share/gemrb/

bt this was documented as "the full path to the GemRB executable". Strange. The executable is of course in /usr/local/bin, But anyway, It works now. Well, not completly : I can't change options, and I can't see my save files. I'll try to refine my config file later.

 

Thanks for the tips.

 

\bye
