Inside your .conf file change the temp-path to "tmp/"
Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.

Make folder 'tmp' in your eggdrop dir and chmod it to 777 then it should work...

Make sure that you made folder tmp (it must be in dir where your eggdrop is installed) and NOT temp.First go to your eggdrop dir, then type mkdir tmp, then [/b]chmod 777 tmp[/b] and IT SHOULD WORK.

Eggdrop setting = set temp-path "/tmp"
Windrop setting = set temp-path "tmp/"

A folder named "tmp" has to be created within the main folder.

The eggdrop and windrop temp dir are not necesarly to be like you've said. Some admins don't allow their users to write in the /tmp dir, so creating a tmp dir in eggdrop's root dir should solve the problem, changing the temp-path to "tmp/" too.

I've tried both several times (tmp folder exists...)
mkdir tmp seemed the most logical thing to do, that was my first action...
Oh well, I'll switch to eggdrop1.6.15 till I find a solution here... thanks guys... :wink:

True caesar but in 5 years, and a few shells later, I have never had to change the temporary dir setting in eggies from "/tmp" (a defaulted setting for users in Unix. May be I have just been lucky. :)

One thing, why does an earlier version of eggdrop not have a problem with that setting when the new one does?
