Preferences aren't saved

[coolsi]

It seems that any options chosen in the menu aren't saved to disk, as when Darwinia is restarted all options are back to their defaults. Looking in ~/.darwinia/, there are no files except for a dir called 'demo' which is also empty.

[sysrq]

in the demo dir `touch preferences.txt`

Doing that causes the following to happen:

Code: Select all

simon@super:~/darwinia$ ./darwinia
SDL Version: Compiled against 1.2.8, running with 1.2.8
Creating ResourceManager: 1.0

Creating SoundSystem: 1.7

Creating ClientToServer: 1.7

Couldn't open language file
simon@super:~/darwinia$

I'd try it with an existing preferences.txt but I haven't got any.

It runs now, with your preferences, but still doesn't save any changes I make in the menu :|

[sysrq]

check permissions of the file and its subdirectorys? Also might try running an strace to see whats going on. I ran an strace and found that whens its trying to open the preferences file with write permisions the path is incorrect, must be a typo in the code.

I can confirm this:

simon@super:~/darwinia$ cat hate | grep preferences.txt
open("/home/simon/.darwinia/demo/preferences.txt", O_RDONLY) = 5
open("/home/simon/.darwinia/demo//home/simon/.darwinia/demo/preferences.txt", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/simon/.darwinia/demo//home/simon/.darwinia/demo/preferences.txt", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
