I'm still not sure why the settings don't work for you, but I think your best bet to try to figure out what's happening would be:Commander_X wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 7:47 pm[...] I am not sure why it/they wouldn't work for you.Slartibartfast wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 7:19 pm[...] but the both boolean "things" have again no effect [...]
- back-up (move) your ~/GNUstep folder (e.g.
Code: Select all
mv ~/GNUstep ~/GNUstep.bak
- start Oolite and stop it (should create a new ~/GNUstep folder with new content in the Defaults folder after)
- try to take a look at what's set in the new configuration files
- try to do just a single "defaults" command and check its results
- maybe also check if your Latest.log exposes anything
Some other things that might be worth investigating:
- what version of the game are you using, i.e. version provided by your distribution, official www.oolite.org version, self compiled version; maybe try with "another" one
- how is your Oolite installed, system-wide, or user-only
- what's in your GNUstep.conf file -- not sure to what extent it can bring any surprises here, but it might worth taking a look. Oh, and there should be 2 of them of importance: the system-wide one (maybe in /etc/GNUstep? -- I have mine in /usr/local/etc/GNUstep, but that's because it's self built) and the user one ~/.GNUstep.conf
- is there any difference when running the "defaults" (or even Oolite for that matter) after initializing your GNUstep environment
- Oolite runs actually a wrapper (shell script) file that sets some environment variables; is your shell compatible with the syntax used in that file
