Save Game

[panorain]

Hello, I am wondering why I am unable to save my game' The saved games tab is always greyed out. I am running version 1.7.2 on Linux. Which folder do the saved games get kept in? Perhaps my permissions are not set correctly.

Here is a copy of my 'myth_log.txt file'

From your log:

'/usr/share/games/Myth II/saved games/'

I suspect permissions might be an issue too.

So what does this entry in the 'Myth_log.txt' file tell me?

Error: File system Create in Myth2Code/tag_files/tag_files.c, line #2674: couldn't create local tag file '/usr/share/games/Myth II/saved games/Game1'
Error: File system Create in Myth2Code/recording.c, line #579: Unable to read the

I have a 'saved games' folder in the root of the 'Myth II' directory.

I have tried both version 1.7.2 and 1.8.beta same issue.

Thank you,

Your user account probably can't write to /usr/share/games/Myth II/saved games/

You were both absolutely correct about the write permissions not set correctly. I switched the permissions in 'saved games' to display the following.

drwxr-xr-x 2 panorain panorain 4096 2013-04-19 01:37 saved games

work's great.

Thank you once again.
