So, I put the original games in directories called keen1, keen2, and keen3. They are found by CGenius but as soon as I pick one it crashes. I wish I could give more info but I can't run it from the command line to see what is going wrong.

Thanks,

Canguy


EDIT:
Figured it out. I noticed that the menu listed the versions of keen1 and 2 as unknown but keen3 as version 1. keen3 works (without sound) but the other 2 crash. Maybe the versions I have are incompatible.
 
can you tell me where you putted the original files?

/pandora/appdata/cgenius.pickle/.CommanderGenius/
/pandora/appdata/cgenius.pickle/.CommanderGenius/games
/pandora/appdata/cgenius.pickle/
/pandora/appdata/cgenius.pickle/games

don't work all

greetings
 
You just put the original directories in;
/pandora/appdata/cgenius.pickle/

In the end it should look like this (depending on the CK version you have):
/pandora/appdata/cgenius.pickle/games/keen1/
/pandora/appdata/cgenius.pickle/games/keen2/
/pandora/appdata/cgenius.pickle/games/keen3/

Let us know if it works out.

This might be caused by a corrupted card since Quake 3 isn't working either(if you want to format, use the tool from the Tweaks Thread).

Sorry Pickle but as I mentioned in my edit I found the original problem...the versions were incompatible. Thanks for the log tip though.

I have another problem which makes CGenius unusable which I posted about elsewhere. I can save games, but the load game list is always empty. I noticed in the log that the save game was successfully saved to;
"/usr/share/commandergenius/cksave1.ck1"

Is this the same path that the load file code points to? Seems like it should point to the appdata dirctory (or is it chrooted there?)

Thanks in advance

hopefully this hlps a bit.
if something else is useful, feel free to give me a tipp

after running the game it says me: no games found

greetings


EDIT:
I solved my problem:)
I changed one path in the cfg file to: /media/mmcblk3p1/pandora/appdata/cgenius.pickle/games/ and it works;)
But i have to change it every restart because of the variable mountpoint of the sd-card
How can i change this into a relativ path?

greetings
