Title: Tremulous Stopped Working
Post by: Deox on February 02, 2008, 06:17:54 pm
Hey guys...I was playing tremulous a while ago, and I changed a bunch of settings in the console for whatever reason...

The next time I opened the game, it appears to open, but then closes right away.

At first I thought "Hey, I can finally break my addiction to tremulous," but now I'm craving more.

I tried deleting the entire Tremulous folder and re-downloading it...

That didn't work, so I tried restoring it from an older backup of Tremulous made *before* I changed those things...

And if you read the title, you'd be able to guess that that didn't work either.

So, I'm running out of options.  This isn't top priority, but I'd like to play tremulous again sometime.  It's such a fun game!


Technical note:

I am on a mac, and the program simply puts itself on the dock, bounces once, and then disappears.  No windows show up or anything.

go to your home/user folder => Library => Application Support, and delete the "Tremulous" folder in there

then go to your home/user folder again => Library => Preferences, and delete the "net.tremulous.plist" file

then you might just be able to open tremulous and it should recreate those folders with the original settings, if that doesn't work, reinstall trem

1)ignore what smartalco said
2)delete ~/Library/Application\ Support/Tremulous/base/autogen.cfg
3)start tremulous

Thanks so much!

I knew there'd be some preference or variable file for the console saved somewhere, but I didn't know exactly where.

Deleting those files allowed me to open up Tremulous again, and the addiction will continue.

hey, my method still would work, it gets rid of that file, I just didn't know precisely which file to delete and was too lazy to test which :P
