Hi,
As far as you describe it, this is working as intended. Specifically you
should not modify any files in /usr/share/games/dwarf-fortress, as
changes there will in some cases not be picked up by the game and always
be overwritten on the next update of the package.
Instead you should look into /usr/share/doc/dwarf-fortress/README.Debian
for instructions on how to make local modifications to your game files.
For the spicific case of configuration files, you should find the proper
set of configuration files in ~/.config/dwarf-fortress. Changes to these
files should be picked up by the game just as expected.
However, I think there should be a more prominent warning telling people
to not modify files in /usr/share/ganmes/dwarf-fortress. I'm just not
sure *where* to place that warning. I'm leaving this issue open until I
have added such a warning to keep people from stumbling over this
problem.
** Summary changed:
- init.txt changes ignored on launch
+ There should be a more prominent warning that files in
/usr/share/games/dwarf-fortress/ should not be modified.
** Changed in: dwarf-fortress (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Also affects: dwarf-fortress (Debian)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
