I'm trying out ET here with an amd64 installation. On both of my gentoo boxes (both are x86_64), Enemy Territory won't save the servers that I put in the 'favorites' list after I quit. Looking in the ~/.etwolf folder, I don't see where that sort of information would be kept either.
Any ideas?
Enemy Territory - not saving favorite servers!
Message
et has different configuration folders for different mods. On startup it has no mod loaded and loads the configuration in etmain/profiles. When you chose favorite servers and visited a server which uses a mod the favorite servers are stored in the mod folder and wont be loaded on startup.
To add the favorite servers you have two options :
- Select them right after starting et and quit et without visiting a server.
- Make a symlink from etmain/profile to any mods configuration folder, e.g.
cd ~/.etwolf
rm -rf etpub/profiles
ln -s etmain/profiles etpub/profiles
With that symlnk your changes to favorites will be stored in etmain/profiles no matter if a mod is loaded or not so it will work all the time, but it may cause some annoyances to share the config folder.
Dont forget to make a backup of your profile folder in case you delete it by accident.

Ok, thanks. I suspected that the mods had something to do with it. I'll try symlinking.Devport wrote:et has different configuration folders for different mods.
