Alright,

Can anybody tell me:(people with some linux knowledge)

Why does q3ded create a hidden directory under the user (or root) homedir called .q3a/ ?

On my server the directory contains 2 sub-dir's: the pb dir and the excessiveplus dir.

In this last one the games.log , bans.txt and userdb.dat files are stored.

This is totally unexplainable to me and in my config i specified that games.log should be in the users homedir.

This makes it more difficult to maintain.. just want all the files in $HOME/quake3/excessiveplus .

Any idea's or suggestions?

greets,

Hypernite / p9

hm Thats a good question Happy

I Know Thats this work in quake 4, you musst write in the start command line
+set fs_savepath "your/save/dir" +set fs_basepath "your/q3a/base"

But i dont know it if work.

We can talk in msn about this Happy

So perhaps u should try it before posting/spamming cause every post of yourself is more senseless then the other one, and even this one doesnt help, if u dont know 100% then why arent u just quiet ?, its rly no flame or offesive now, but you're just spamming instead of helping how u think, normally when
I got a solution for a problem i try if it works before i make my postcount one higher without knowing what i write.

ok ok guys, hold your horses ! Winking

Back to my issue:

quake creates a hidden dir, in the home dir of the user who is running
the q3ded process.

This dir, .q3a stores all the vital info, like bans/gamelogs/etc...

I never specified this path, and don't want those files in that map.

The fs_basepath var did not work, so any other *suggestions*.

People, no offence, but suggestions do not have to work necessarily, just need a starting point on "where to look" or "where to set" this variabel.

Cheers lads! Happy
