My 1on1 server keeps crashing

[GreEn`mArine]

well, I started the server using "- condebug +exec server.cfg" after the binary ... but where should this log file be created ? and when ? I can't see any logfile directly after starting up

[Willis]

it should be -condebug
in which case it will create a file called "qconsole.log" in your data directory

in which case it will create a file called "qconsole.log" in your data directory

which is ~/.nexuiz/data on Linux

ah, I didn't know it was in a hidden directory (which is infact a pretty stupid idea to have it there instead of having it in the same nex directory where the binaries are)

No, that's actually pretty clever as the user starting the Nexuiz binary doesn't necessarily have the right to write into the same nex directory where the binaries are.

As Savage said, it clever. Itas also standard procedure in most *nix eviroments, taht programs create dot-directories in the running users home directory for their settings that are user spesific.

The *nix-enviroments are true multi-user enviroments, and users generally cannot write to anywhere besides their own file structure (home dir)

The reason for hiding the directory (done by prefixing the dir name with ".", same goes for files) is that elsewise you'd end up with a pretty messy home dir. Most of the people i know tend to use ls -la (list and all) by default when browsing, this to display also hidden files.

Hehe its a idea hard to get for windows users. Actually i like programs that do it this way on windows too. To bad quake/darkplaces and most other programs do not . Some games like deus ex 2 did place savegames into your 'own files' directory. Thats cool because that why several users can play that game and to do have to worry about others settings/savegames.
