Sharing saves using DropBox

[neciu]

Hello.

I've used crawl_setup-0.9-a1-863-g00d5453 (0.8 has problems with changing crawl_dir).

Recently I've tried to share my saves with friends, so we can compete.
Because one of us prefer console version and others play only with tiles, I've "hacked" windows installer:

• unpacked installer exe
• moved all files and "magical" dircetories to root directory
• changed /settings/init.txt:
  

    Code:

  ##### 2-  File System ###############################################
#
crawl_dir  = /
morgue_dir = morgue
save_dir   = saves
macro_dir  = settings/
# sound = <regex>:<path to sound file>

  
  
• put all files into DropBox

All seems to worked just fine, but when smb die game crashes and character is not saved as dead.

How to fix this?

Why put everything in root? I'm not sure what's wrong with your set up, but I achieve the same result in a simpler way. I only use the -dir command line option to point crawl to the dropbox folder. Here is the target line of my crawl's shortcut:

  Code:

C:\crawl\crawl-tiles.exe -dir "D:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\Dropbox" -extra-opt-last include=myprefs.txt
