[1.0.1] --home used, lore gets registered in default path
Posted: Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:25 pm
I wanted to test out the new --home command line parameter (linux) and
I arranged my home directory in order to keep things separated for different clients:
I copied one of my characters from v1.0.0 save directory over to the new v1.0.1 one,
I edited cheat.cfg to enable the lua console and I started the v1.0.1 client:
All is well, the lua console works, and I take the character to farportal exploration to test out some things.
After some exploration, I find a lore scroll laying around and picking it up it reveals to be the 'How to be a necromancer - part 2'.
Amusingly enough, I had been looking for that particular lore since long time but I wasn't happy to have found it on a test character.
I saved and exited the v1.0.1 client, then started the v1.0.0 client and loaded the same character which was still in the fortress.
I went to the Library of Lost Lore and guess? The newly found "necro lore" was there.
I sort of expected --home to keep profiles/settings (lore included) separated for different instances of the client.
Or otherwise, what is its intended purpose?
