New 0.0.5 install - portable and installer issue #11

Closed cookins closed 8 years ago

cookins commented 8 years ago

I installing game as usual through installer then setting install folder after shortcut launch - its saying: cant find g1.dat in data folder - there only g2.dat by the way. same with portable version.

Gymnasiast commented 8 years ago

Doesn't seem like a launcher issue to me. g1.dat is a file from RCT2 - you need to have it installed. It's also the RCT2 folder you have to select when asked for the install folder. By the look of it, you chose the OpenRCT2 folder.

the point is - in installer there no g1.dat - only g2.dat. do i suppose to have mine g1.dat from original game? :-/

Gymnasiast commented 8 years ago

If you only see g2.dat you're looking at the wrong folder. You need to have the original game installed for its assets (graphic files, music, sound effects). Install it, and point to that folder when asked for the directory.

oh lol i thought this is full game - cant say how much original game was required space. pardon then..

Since this happens to be a misconception about the installer and nothing else, someone should close this issue.

LRFLEW commented 8 years ago

I'll go ahead and close this. However, I do think that this is indicative of a documentation problem. I need to update the readme (or create a usage readme) to help explain this probably.

cookins commented 8 years ago

just need to type it on download page - that original game data required! red letters - yeeesss!
