Hello @ghaerr

I have added ELKSmoria as ExtApp.

I have confirmed the buildext.sh and making minix hdd IBM image work.

Thank you!

Hello @tyama501,

I was thinking it might be a better idea to install this new game as just moria, rather then elksmori.os2 or elksmori. This will be easier for users to understand what it is. I don't think 'elks' needs to be in the name, since everyone knows they're on ELKS.

If that sounds OK, can you also make changes so that the extra moria files are placed in /lib/moria, rather than /lib/morifiles? That will also be more apparent to users what the files are. Actually, I think it might even be better to have the files live directly under /lib instead of a subdirectory, but I don't know the best names for the files. Something like /lib/moria.* would then keep the disk hierarchy flatter but also understandable. These are all ideas to try to keep things simple.

Thank you!

Hello @ghaerr

Maybe I can do that but I need to modify source code to change lib filename and locations.

It is easy to change the directory name so I can change it to lib/moria but can I keep the lib filenames?

Thank you.

Ok, do that for now. If you change the source code, ExtApplications can be updated afterwards.

Thanks @tyama501. In retrospect, now that I look at /lib, it's probably better to use a directory under /lib for applications that require more than one library file, like you're doing. I notice that paint has lots of .bmp files in /lib, I'll move them to /lib/paint.
