ZETH: wrong paths

Post by Hirogen2 »

Hello there,

I have ZETH installed (plus config etc) at x:/dev/zeth, and my PWADs are in x:/, as zeth.ini/cfg states. I run ZETH through the Start Menu via a link, which is set up to chdir to x:/dev/zeth ("working directory") and execute zeth.exe from there. However, when I leave ZETH and check x:/ I find some files created by zeth: doom2.fab zeth.ini and zeth.bak.
Maybe ZETH forgets to chdir() back to x:/dev/zeth while it was working in x:/.

I think it does. It's always resetting the ini file when I use it, so I have to delete that and make it copy zethdef in a batch file. Since I use the dos version, this is of little consequence, but I don't have any real problems to complain about.

If you do not want ZETH to change the ZETH.INI file, would it not be easier to set this in the ini file:

Code: Select all

# Automatically save settings?
SaveIniFile = False

I allow ZETH to change it but it shall change x:\dev\zeth\zeth.ini (which is read thu) not x:\zeth.ini (which it saves to)

Semantic nonsense!

I think whatever I did was easiest, since I didn't know I could add that bit until just now. It would have been "hard"er to wait until I could come here and ask.
