Redpixel: Cannot load blood.dat

[paulb]

I keep getting this error when I try to run redpixel. I have tries chmod 0777 blood.dat, but otherwise im clueless.

Well I tried to RTFM for you, but there doesn't appear to be a manual with anything applicable. :/

So I had to RTFS, and it appears to be looking in either /usr/local/share/redpixel or /usr/share/redpixel for all its resource files. Is that where they are?

All my files are in /usr/local/share/redpixle. Should I try moving them to the other folder?

BTW, Redpixel is one of the few games that I could find that work on Linux and Windows that I could use accross my LAN.

The others are:
XPilot
FreeCiv
A bomberman clone that I *think* might work.

Edit: if only i could find some kind of configure file. I think ill go through the source to find some clue. BTW, thanks for your help, bwkaz

I think I found somthing:

int load_dat()
{
dat = load_datafile(get_resource(R_SHARE, "blood.dat"));
return (dat) ? 0 : -1;
}

That's what it looks like.
