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.

Brilliant! Thanks Johan. Problem solved.

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)

Anyone have any ideas?

Just first things to check:

Does the map file already exist? If so delete it I guess.
Is your disk full?

Does the person who is downloading the file (running dom3) have permission to create a file in that directory?

Sorry, my crystal sphere is broken.
Same thing like I said to llamabeast:

- what does "df -h" tell you (in a bash console)?
- what does "mount" tell you?
- what does dom3 tell you on startup if you start it with "-ddd"?

Please copy&paste the output here.
