Re: Problem: \'Failed to create temp directory\'
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.

Re: Problem: \'Failed to create temp directory\'
Set the environment variable DOM3_TEMP to use the location of your choice.

Re: Problem: \'Failed to create temp directory\'
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)

Re: Problem: \'Failed to create temp directory\'
Just first things to check:
Does the map file already exist? If so delete it I guess.
Is your disk full?

Re: Problem: \'Failed to create temp directory\'
Does the person who is downloading the file (running dom3) have permission to create a file in that directory?

Re: Problem: \'Failed to create temp directory\'
The map file doesn't exist and the disk has plenty of space.
The account running dominions should be the same account that created those directories, so I don't think it is a permissions problem.

Re: Problem: \'Failed to create temp directory\'
That's very strange.
In the absence of any ideas how to solve it, I'd suggest you ask one of the other players to e-mail you the map file. Normally I'd say get them to post it as an attachment here, but the attachments are broken at the moment.
How did you manage to get to turn 6 with no map?

Re: Problem: \'Failed to create temp directory\'
bl_fully.rgb isn't the map, it's just the background graphic. You never get the map file, it's encoded in your turn file. Why you get errors for the filename, I have no idea.

Re: Problem: \'Failed to create temp directory\'
I play on multiple machines depending on where I am. The windows systems don't have this problem.
