Sys_Error: Couldn't load default.cfg [RESOLVED]
« on: July 16, 2006, 03:15:24 am »
On Gentoo Linux I installed (emerged) quake3-tremulous 1.0.2, ran quake3-tremulous from a shell, and it printed (without trying to open a new X window):

Sys_Error: Couldn't load default.cfg

I tried touch to create blank ~/.q3a/default.cfg, ~/.q3a/tremulous/default.cfg and other variants. Same thing. quake3-bin did the same print/error routine. I don't have a pak0.pk3, if that makes a difference, though /opt/quake3/tremulous/data-1.1.0.pk3 contains a default.cfg...so if it's pak0.pk3 I should be getting some other error? Basically I'm stumped--the error is not informative enough. I know this is a quake3 thing, not a tremulous-specific thing--it could even be triggered by a Gentoo thing (not including the right default.cfg), but it could be addressed in regards to Tremulous. Thank you.

of course, considering the quake 3 mod is an old version of Tremulous, I'm not sure it is worth it helping you with your specific problem :) I mean, do you really want to play the 1.0.2 version of Trem when the 1.1.0 has been out for some times ?

Ah, how careless of me. I should have checked that I was running the most recent version. I just installed from Gentoo's Portage, since that's easier and cleaner than a manual install. But Gentoo's Tremulous package is out of date. So I'm downloading the standalone, 1.1.0 (Zip--that's source code, right?) and I'll see how that goes. Thanks for the reminder.

I got 1.1.0 working. Oddly enough it gives the same warning when there is a blank user-created default.cfg in the search path. Removed that file and it launched its graphical window. Issue resolved. Thanks again for the reminder to upgrade.
