tmmuk Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Hi I am running the latest version of el on a linux machine (kubuntu 5.10) I was wondering If anyone knew how to make a shortcut that would launch the game as currently the only way is to cd to the directory and then type ./el.x86.linux.bin There must be an easier way to do this. also, how do you make a fire in el and where can you go to mine? thanks, tmmuk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tmmuk Report post Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) thanks thats all good exept this: echo "cd /path/to/el;./el.x86.linux.bin;cd -"> ~/bin/elc chmod u+x ~/bin/elc not sure what im supposed to do with this after typing this, what should I make the shortcut link to / the shortcut's command? tmmuk EDIT: got it worked out now. by putting this code in the option for "command" in the properties for the el item, I got it to work: cd /usr/local/share/games/el/; ./el.x86.linux.bin thanks again Edited October 20, 2005 by tmmuk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
