  • Xbimage

    From Mortifis@1:103/705 to All on Mon Nov 16 14:12:04 2020
    I have been using xbimage on Win10 without issues, but just transfered the *.xb's and image.ini file over to my Linuxbox and when running xbimage (same door setup) all files result in error opening *.*.xb ... any ideas how I broke it?

    File ownership/permissions, most likely.

    No, but possibly +w'd. And what directory do you place them in?

    +wx had no affect. I have them in exec/xbin along with the images.ini (same as on win10)

    Perhaps you also have them in the "ctrl" directory on the Windows system (but on the Linux system)?

    ummm ... duh for me. I didn't realize the *.xb's had to be in the ctrl, though
    it read it from whatever dir the images.ini file is in. Working now, thank you
    (though my conversions are mangled)

    They don't *have* to be, but that is the default location of any files opened via JS unless an explicit file path is specified somewhere.
