Title: unable to activat mods in wxlauncher
Post by: millerthegorilla on February 12, 2015, 12:38:53 pm

Hi, I just used the fso open installer to install fsopen into my gog directory.   I built the wxlauncher from source and am unable to get the mods to activate or the game to play and there are no flags found for the executables.
the message at the bottom of wxlauncher is :
FS2 open did not generate a flag file
couldn't create 'data' folder /home/james/.fs2_open/data
I have tried making the folder but still the same problem
Also, none of the mods will activate.
Many thanks

How did you try to create $HOME/.fs2_open/data? Was it using the command line, and if so did you pass the -p option to mkdir?  i.e. create any missing subdirectories in the path?

Could you also please post a screenshot of your "Basic Settings" tab?
