Shared morgue / save / high scores

[hoobastank]

I am running crawl 0.13.1 on arch linux.
I have set the save_dir and morgue_dir variables in each user's .crawlrc to target shared folders.
The users all have permissions to these folders.
The folders each contain entries from the different users (so everything appears to be working fine).

BUT
When I review high scores (or I'm shown them after YASD) I see ONLY scores from characters I created. Same goes for other users; they see only their own socres.

I am hoping to have friendly crawl competition with others on this box.
It is less enjoyable without shared high scores.

How are high scores pulled? Can the way they are pulled be changed? I want the high scores to be shared between all user accounts on the machine.

I searched the documentation, but I couldn't figure this out. Any help or advice is thoroughly appreciated.

[op update]

tried setting options for everyone globally in /usr/share/stone-soup/data/settings/init.txt

still saw only my own scores

decided to try a different route

deleted (cp to backup the rm -r) the ~/.crawl directory for one user and launched crawl

it ran fine and i died quickly (intentionally) to see the highs cores

no high scores were displayed. it just dumped me back to shell with the message

"failed to open score file for writing: No such file or directory"

the shared saves folder has a scores file in it. I am not sure what to do next.saw no noticeable change

[EDIT] flash of insight while typing this, tried deleting scores file in shared saves directory, no luck, same error after death

I have not tested this, but you should be able to do this with symbolic links. Lets say you have a global morgue folder and a global score file (all users need rw permissions):

  Code:

drwxrwxrwx /CUSTOMPATH/morgue
-rw-rw-rw- /CUSTOMPATH/scores


Now every user has to use those in his local crawl folder (was it .strone-soup for arch? I'm not using the package, I'll go with .crawl):

  Code:

rm -fr ~/.crawl/morgue
rm -f ~/.crawl/saves/scores
ln -s /CUSTOMPATH/morgue ~/.crawl/morgue
ln -s /CUSTOMPATH/scores ~/.crawl/saves/scores

Instead of messing with save_dir and morgue_dir, try running crawl with the -dir option. In my experience, it works fine for having saves, scores and morgues on a usb or dropbox drive.

Thank you both for replying!
Aliasing "crawl" to "crawl -dir /pathiwanted/" solved the problem easily.

Read the 'really short forum rules' and I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question.

Do I re-title this with [solved] or some such to indicate that the issue has been resolved?
