Default Re: Problem: \'Failed to create temp directory\'

Alright, I am a muppet. What Ich said in the first place was right. The partition that /tmp is in was full. Clearing the dominions directories only helped because it freed up a bit of space. So much for my complicated theory!

D'oh!!!

PS Completely irrelevantly - Ich, are you, um, Lch or ich? Lowercase L and uppercase i look the same.

Edit: I guess my complicated theory could still be the cause of Dr P's problem though.

It's an uppercase "I." I pasted it into a console.

Okay, another related question: Does anyone know if there's any way to change the temp directory that dominions uses? My /tmp is on a small partition, so there's some danger it'll fill up again.

Set the environment variable DOM3_TEMP to use the location of your choice.

I am having a problem that may be related. Dominions 3.08 on linux and when I try and play a multiplayer turn it needs to download the map. It connects, downloads the map and then crashes. The debug output is this.

Check if we have map bl_fully.rgb
We have to download the map (/home/lambda/dominions3/maps/bl_fully.rgb)
