How do I clear an old mod folder location from OpenMW?

Post by Cl3v3rP0tat0 »

It logs this when loading a game and also when doing my navmesh. The error is harmless but unnecessary, errors bother my sense of order and well being, please halp! :(

Code: Select all

[00:22:58.418 I] OpenMW version 0.48.0
[00:22:58.420 I] Using default (English) font encoding.
[00:22:58.421 W] No such dir: "/home/cl3v3r/.local/share/openmw/data"
[00:22:58.422 I] OSG version: 3.6.5
[00:22:58.422 I] SDL version: 2.0.20
[00:22:58.424 I] Loading shader settings file: "/home/cl3v3r/.config/openmw/shaders.yaml"
[00:22:58.925 I] OpenGL Vendor: Intel
[00:22:58.925 I] OpenGL Renderer: Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics (CHV)
[00:22:58.925 I] OpenGL Version: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.3
[00:22:58.925 I] Using reverse-z depth buffer
[00:22:58.929 I] Adding BSA archive /home/cl3v3r/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Morrowind/Data Files/Morrowind.bsa

Last week I redid my Mod Build and deleted my initial Mod folder - but like a Ghost in the Machine - OpenMW is haunted!

No such dir: "/home/cl3v3r/.local/share/openmw/data" <---- be gone foul spirit! But how?

I see no reference to that old location in settings.cfg or openmw.cfg - but somewhere in the dark depths of my Linux Mint, OpenMW has its secrets hidden. :|

It might be that that's the default location for data-local, but because you've not done anything that would use it yet (e.g. make a mod with the CS) the directory's not been created yet.

So that may be just default/unused entry? I did have a folder called data at that location (now I am second guessing) but I deleted that folder when I did a build purge... :?

As a Linux user, I can confirm that is indeed the folder where .omwaddon files created by the CS live.

Thank you, I never used or DL'ed the OpenMWCS so just assumed it was a leftover before my mod purge which I had creatively named "data" or similar - I just made a folder named "mods" now :lol:

/home/cl3v3r/.local/share/openmw/mods
