Searched forum and Google but can't find a way to dump my char info.
In earlier versions of a game there was "obituaries" named after characters in the game folder.
Now I can't find it to look up my first win!
Can somebody please help me? :roll:

You press Shift-3, and then the dump comes up as a .txt file in the morgue folder.

EDIT: Wait, do you mean you want to look up a character that already won? That should also be in the morgue folder.

EDIT by Napkin: Players with non-US keyboard need to press the key producing a # to dump their active character.

I can't seem to find Morgue folder in the game folder. It just not there!

Are you sure? It should be in the same folder where the crawl application is in...

Yes!
It is present in "Windows Zip" installer from download version but I'm playing a "Windows Installer" version from download page http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/downloads

So I guess, installer shuffled Morgue, Saves(also not in the game folder) and maybe other folders to other place on my hard rive. Of which I'm unaware of.

Try using the search function for Windows Explorer, then? I'm not too sure what else you can do besides that, sorry.

Already tried that. No result.
Thanks for the effort anyway.

I hope some of the devs looks in this thread :roll:

Unfortunately, I cannot help you as I don't know the answer. However, I've opened a bug report on the lack of documentation, so hopefully it will become clearer.

If I had to guess, I'd say the "Documents and Settings" directory (or however that's called, don't know the English term) but if you already searched for that... You did search for "files and directories", right?

Also, could one of the admins please move this over to Interface & Software? That's clearly where it belongs, makes it much more likely a developer will see the post, and makes it easier to find for someone else having the same problem. Thanks!

Yup. Searched whole "My computer" directory for "Morgue". Found all morgue-files for 0.6 and 0.5 versions. Didn't even knew I still have them installed somewhere.
I just hope that it saves somewhere! Because my first win must be saved to show it to my grandchildren.

Well, the character name should be in the filename, right? Try searching all files for anything that contains the character name. Might take longer since it has to check all files instead of just folders though...

when installed with the windows installer, save and morgue directory are in %APPDATA%\crawl.

As an example, mine are in

Code:: C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\crawl\morgue

Saves should be in a neighbouring folder.
Whereas the actual game is way over in c:\program files\crawl 0.8.0\ or somesuch.

when I install, which is quite often as I tend to update trunk most days, I get the self-installing version, and I usually pick 'install this for all users' option.

Hope that helps.

Curio, what version of Windows are you running? I believe the problem is that one of the sub-folder has the hidden attribute set and Window's search doesn't search in those.

Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

Have a look at this directory:

Code:: c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\crawl\morgue

Of course, your username may be different from mine (Administrator).

The problem is that the directory "Application Data" is hidden. So you need a file browser that can show and go inside hidden directories.

Yes! ApplicationData was there all the time hidden. I found it right where you said. Thanks!
