NearInfinity 1.3.0 issues on Ubuntu 22.04 - baldur.ini, finding *.bif related #186

Closed russellmatt66 closed 2 weeks ago

Hi, sorry if the solution to this is somewhere that I haven't found yet, but I'm trying to use NearInfinity on Ubuntu 22.04, and running into issues related to the non-existence of baldur.ini - it's baldur.lua, and elsewhere than NI expects - and the subsequent finding of .bif files.

I've made a post on the Beamdog forums that compiles all this information, as well as the exact steps I'm taking that produce the errors, and the errors themselves.

Here it is: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/88828/nearinfinity-1-3-0-ci-issue-with-loading-bif-files-ubuntu-22-04#latest

I would love to understand what the fundamental problem is here, and how to solve it. I know where baldur.lua is, but I don't know where I need to go to tell NearInfinity that, because all I can point it to is chitin.key for my IWD:EE installation..

From your Beamdog forums post:

mycomputer:path/to/cwd$ java -jar NearInfinity-1.3.0-ci.jar

That version of Near Infinity is over 10 years old and hopelessly outdated by now.

You can grab a more up to date version from here: https://github.com/Argent77/NearInfinity/releases

Alternatively install the FlatHub version: https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.nearinfinitybrowser.nearinfinity

It should solve most if not all your problems.

Thanks, I honestly have no idea how I managed to find that version lol.
