It's because you haven't run the ini importer, but in my opinion openmw shouldn't fail so horribly.

[bwrsandman]

OK. Had to fetch an .ini file on another drive. Thanks!

This did it for me:

Code: Select all

mwiniimport Morrowind.ini ~/.config/openmw/openmw.cfg

[pvdk]

The launcher now asks you too if it finds a Morrowind.ini in the path above your data path, it even asks you which one to import from when it finds multiple.

[Zini]

But please keep in mind, that this only happen on the first run. We should be fine now, but anyone who has run intermediate development builds between 0.21.0 and 0.22.0 may need to manually re-run the importer from the command line (since we don't yet have the feature to run it explicitly from the launcher after the first run).

[bwrsandman]

So anyone switching from 0.21 to the future 0.22 will be okay?

I know I was prompted to find an .ini file. When skipped it, it stopped asking.

[Zini]

Obviously you should not skip it. Maybe we should adjust the wording a bit.

But yeah, anyone going from OpenMW 0.21.0 to 0.22.0 should be okay.

[pvdk]

I could change it to "ask me next time" and then not set the firstrun flag to false?

[Zini]

I do not see how that would be of use. Why would the user want to delay the import?

I was thinking more of a warning that not having imported an ini file may cause problems.

[bwrsandman]

An option to import from inside owmlauncher if the import didn't work when prompted.
