spring data dir paths

Hello. I installed Spring using spring-installer_790_5-19-2009_i386.run . Now spring does not see my data (config,maps,mods,etc.) which are located in $HOME/.spring
How can i setup things so that spring/springlobby will keep "user files" in user dir instead of trying to use the dir in which it was installed?
I tried various configuration options and it just does not work. I tried searching forums but did not find any working solution.
TIA

Adjusted your .springrc?

A bit dirty but it should work how you want:
Code: Select all
rmdir ~/Spring/maps
rmdir ~/Spring/mods
ln -s ~/.spring/maps ~/Spring/maps
ln -s ~/.spring/mods ~/Spring/mods

Maybe try this....
make sure there is a line that says:

also note that (afaik) there's no variable substitution nor ~ expansion when reading from .springrc

There is. Unless someone broke/removed it of course
(Only variable substitution though; ~ isn't interpreted specially at all.)

come to think of it, wouldn't have made much sense to have var substitution in the global file and not the user one...
i'll use today being sunday as an excuse for not thinking before speaking
