[SOLVED] Urban terror - config files path

Hi, i have just migrated from gentoo to arch. i have installed this package of urbanterror: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10284 (makepkg -s, pacman -U)

in gentoo when i run the game it created these configuration files

~/.q3a/q3ut4/q3config.cfg
~/.q3a/qkey
~/.q3a/servercache.dat
...

in arch it creates all files directly in user's home folder

~/qkey
~/servercache.dat
~/q3ut4/q3config.cfg
...

furthermore in arch it creates empty directory ~/.urbanterror, if i put there the config file the game ignores it. (http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2009/ … ror-setup/)

i want to have the configuration files in hidden folder(.q3a or .urbanterror)

Any suggestions?

Hi Mr1Jan ...

This package should save the config-files in ~/.urbanterror and not directly in /home. Strange problem, the same package does a friend use.
You could modify the urbanterror.sh script of the AUR package. If you use the zip file (like me) Urt will store it files in ~/.q3a/...

@grimi

if i move them to .urbanterror, the game ignores them and creates new configs in home dir.

Re: [SOLVED] Urban terror - config files path

Hmm... I mean q3config.cfg should be in '.urbanterror/q3ut4'... No important.

First listing, is correct .
Simply replace '.q3a' from gentoo with: '.urbanterror',
all rest (files and folders) is in same order.
100% working for me.

Re: [SOLVED] Urban terror - config files path

so i found that if i run the game under root or another user, it creates config files correctly. So i deleted all my hidden config files in home directory. It did not help. then i changed my user home folder to new empty one. if i run urt, config files were created correctly. then i changed the home folder back and it helped...

i still dont know where the problem was. Thank you for your help, marking as solved.
