Where do/did you installed Dom3?

Where did you installed Dom3 and why?

Re: Where do/did you installed Dom3?

/usr/local/games/dominions3/

Because it's the default and I don't like /opt

Re: Where do/did you installed Dom3?

the default installation for dom3 on a mac isn't typical for mac apps. most of them install into the apps folder.

but like lch, i too simply left mine in the default. since it's my favorite game on my computer, it gets a special place i suppose :)

eDIT: but wait... it's originally a linux app? maybe that's why it puts itself where it does..

Re: Where do/did you installed Dom3?

I play on Windows, so the actual path is different from Linux, but I also used the default global path.

I think it's "C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\Dominions 3" or something like that. I'm away from my computer right now, so I'm working from memory....

Re: Where do/did you installed Dom3?

Not enough answers for me.
/usr/local/games
~/dominions3
C:\program files\dominions3
C:\program files\programming\dominions3
F:\program files\dominions3
G:\program files\dominions3

I dont have a mac yet. But Ive considered installing it on my iPod and my xBox :)

Re: Where do/did you installed Dom3?

c:\usr\dominions3

Because I dislike having spaces in my path ("Program Files").

The reason I made this poll is; I was thinking to make a script that allow the user to switch themes in Dom3, but basically it's only helpful if Dom3 is installed ~/dominions3 as it requires permission to switch files globally...which defeat the purpose a little (for easy use).

The script should something like;

Code:

#!/bin/bash 

cd ~/dominions3/[custom theme] && cp -r gui*.tga mapbg.tga ~/dominions3 &

cd ~/dominions3 && ./dom3 -u --enablemod [mod.dm]

cd ~/dominions3/[default theme] && cp -r gui*.tga mapbg.tga ~/dominions3 &

Or something along the lines.

I like this question better... I have DOM_3 installed on:
1) My bedroom computer (used by me & wife, but she doesn't play the game)
2) My work laptop (used only by me)
3) The computer in my study (used only by me)
4) My computer at my brothers (used only by me)

Re: Where do/did you installed Dom3?

C:\program files\dominions3

Short Answer: 5
Longer Answer: at my house I have 2 servers and 5 desktops. I prefer Linux servers, WinXP desktop, and Mac portables. 2 of the desktops are mine, one is one sons, one is my wifes, one was my brother-in-laws but he moved away so now its just a spare test machine. All are networked.
And yes, I have 5 copies. Now if you REALLY want surprised, ask me how many installs instead of how many machines. Im so ADD that my project directories get very messy. I work on one project, then get bored and shift to another project. I always have a dozen or so in the works. So my dektops have seperate directories for map projects, mod projects, programming projects, server testing, seperate ones for various mods playing MP so I dont confuse my test gods or modded gods with ones I can upload to games.

Ahhh. I remember a conversation like this in another thread altho I think it was a windows thing then. The question of how many Dom3's is nothing compared to the question of how many Dom3 icons. :)
I do like having a "Lord of the Wild" icon (Winxp desktop machine) which takes me directly into my latest Pangaea game and on the way in it swaps my theme with a comfortable dark-green Pangaean theme.

I originally liked just having thematic versions for each play but I have also noticed that playing with a firey lava theme and head-banger music tends to make me play much more agressively than the cool green Pangy one and Alt-Celt music. So now I let it also affect my choices when I MP.
