Description

would be great when it comes to having 2 installations on the machine, one for gaming and one for mapping.

History

#1 Updated by thunder almost 3 years ago

I mean on installation so the path is set and will NOT turn to documents/etlegacy as default ...

You have to start ETL.exe by CLI. There are 2 installs on your hd, in folder A and B:

Open the cli:

cd B
ETL.exe +set fs_basepath B +set fs_homepath B_homepath

or

cd A
ETL.exe +set fs_basepath A +set fs_homepath A_homepath

Doesnt work , because when radiant starts you mapping etl it will choose etlegacy folder in documents...
Maybe store in a file?

#5 Updated by IR4T4 almost 3 years ago

I think your issue is caused by GTKRadiant - https://github.com/TTimo/GtkRadiant/blob/master/radiant/preferences.cpp#L3737

The homepath is statically set at line 3742. Are you sure your Radiant is using etl instead of et? See ENGINE_ATTRIBUTE line 3738

At this point there is a need to extend GTKRadiant to solve this.

#6 Updated by thunder almost 3 years ago

yes it is using a renamed ETL to ET, works fine...
but the thing is that it sets the original hompath, and its a bit annoying...

And I cant set up gtk radiant for compiling my own..
Tried a million times..
