Edit the file config/simuconf.tab in your simutrans folder and uncomment the entry:

Code: [Select]

singleuser_install = 1

With this, savegames, maps, screenshots and config files are directly saved in the simutrans folder. (The entry is disabled, because under Vista the virtualisation removes any savegames for users which are not administrator from "C:\Program Files\".) On a USB-Stick it should work fine.

Now simutrans will save everything on your stick, if you changed the correct file (in the simutrans.exe you go to folder config and change this simuconf.tab!)

I think they are in "My files", subfolder "simutrans", inside that, "save".

Could any one tell me where in Ubuntu does Simutrans gets installed? If I have to add additional packs, where do I go and install those packs? I have the .simutrans folder under my Home directory. I am unable to locate the executables and the paks.

Regards,
Venkat.

Do you have simutrans installed by Synaptic?
Than you have to put the other paksets to "/usr/share/games/simutrans".

Thank you. Could you also tell me this: What are the folders created in Ubuntu when Simutrans is installed. There was one I found - /home/xxxx/.simutrans
The second one you told me : /usr/share/games/simutrans. Are there any other folders. Also, could you tell me how to I include my own city list and where?

Regards,
Venkat

here it should work:

/usr/share/games/simutrans/pakXYZ/text/citylist_??.txt

For '??' use he language selected in simutrans, i.e. ??=en for English.

Can't save v102.2.2 on Ubuntu 8.04

I have a slightly different problem. I downloaded v102.2.2 onto linux, ubuntu 8.04 and it was fine before with the version released in march last year. Now, however, when I try to save in linux I get a message saying can't find target file and I can't figure it out.

I have all the updates for my Operating System.

Make sure you have started the right version, i.e. you must start via ./simutrans in the executable folder. Otherwise the simutrans that comes with ubuntu is invoked.
