Subject: (EE): No success probing for data folder!

Hi everyone, I'm back.
I've downloaded the latest nightly build for linux, but could not run it.

These are the error messages:

(EE): No success probing for data folder!
(EE): Missing a file needed for game. Check log and config!
(EE): Error while loading data!

There is a data folder in the maxr folder. The error messages don't say under which path the data folder is expected.
What am I missing?

Try to set $MAXRDATA as described in https://git.maxr.org/...d-on-linux

Might be an issue with special characters in path as well. Please open a ticket it the problem persists.

Ok thanks, I could successfully run maxr with

MAXRDATA=data ./maxr

I would like to make a few suggestions:

1. Have maxr look in the current working directory for the data directory before throwing an error.

2. The maxr builds on the front page are very old, I think. Link to the page with the nightly builds in a new post. I found them by reading random posts in the forum. Mention the MAXRDATA=data workaround for linux as well.

3. Link to gitlab prominently on the front page. I wasn't even aware there is a gitlab before clicking the link you just provided.

The first point is something I could look into myself, if you would appreciate a patch. The other points I guess I don't have the necessary privileges to do them myself.

That's all "on the new website" that is on hold since 2015 Yeah

Could you expand on that?
Or if there is already a thread discussing this at length, could you please link that?

Maybe I can help out.
