Shitedit data not found?!?

Ok, so here's what the log told me

Shipedit data not found.

I changed the features in the original shipedit program, copy it to the "opentyr-data" folder and I even lower cased it but it still comes up with "Shipedit data not found".

Am I doing something wrong here?

Do you have the newsh$.shp file?

[msoles7]

Yes, I do have the newsh$.shp file and OpenTyrian still doesn't recognize it.

Oh and I am running the win32 version of it, of course.

[yuriks]

Try putting newsh$.shp in the tyrian.exe directory, instead of in data/.

That did the trick, thanks Yuriks.

[yuriks]

If anyone is wondering why that is, it's because I consider newsh$.shp a "user file" (along with configuration scripts and save games) instead of a datafiles (like tyrian.pic or tyrian.hdt, or the other newsh files.) so they go in the user files directory, which, by default is the executable's directory (but can be different, like, for exemple, the Application Data folder, or the .opentyr folder in your home in Linux).
