Code:

cp /home/user/MyDocs/games/HOMM2/DATA/* /opt/fheroes2/files/data/

Hi Guys,

You all appear to be significantly smarter and more technologically advanced than me but my determination and stubbornness is not allowing me to give in to the frustration that is copying the data and maps files for HOMM2! I can play the demo version just fine but I just cannot, for the life of me, figure out all this rootsh stuff to get it to work properly...

ok, the story so far...
I have installed rootsh and accessed the root shell by typing "sudo gainroot" into my X terminal.
it then says "/home/user #" in the terminal and I try to input the command lines that you have all been suggesting (trust me, I am trying, I just need some personal help... perhaps some professional help once this is all done!! haha!)
I have copied the data and maps files to my phone using the PC suite connection into "documents/data" and "documents/maps".
My question is this... what should I type to a) find these folders in x-terminal and then b) copy them to the correct location.

I'm really sorry to be such a goon about all this, and I know that you have been trying to help other people with the same problem, but following the command lines suggested to other people has not solved a thing on my phone

If anyone can shed some light on the situation I would be more than grateful cos right now I am pulling my hair out and working my way to premature baldness! haha!

Many thanks,

J

I don't know if you wrote the path of your files accurately since the documents folder is actually written Documents on my phone, with a capital D. So documents is not the same as Documents, and maps is not the same as MAPS. Regardless, the Documents folder is in /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/ from xterm, so if your maps and data folders are in lower case as you described, then the above commands should copy the files correctly.

"root" is an alias for "sudo gainroot" btw. just shorter and nicer

First of all I'd like to thank you very much. I really enjoy playing this game on my N900.

I have a little problem and hope you can help me. I have original game but the files are not in proper folders. So there is no MAPS or DATA directory in my HoMaM2 folder - all the files are in one single directory. I'd love to have more maps in my N900 but I don't know which files are needed. Could anyone post output of something like "ls /some/path/to/HoMaM2/DATA" and "ls /some/path/to/HoMaM2/MAPS"? It would really help me with completing the files.
