linux specific packing instructions

[fracaspunk1]

I've searched the entire internet for this 

I am running Ubuntu 12.04. I'm able to create and test my level from the Hammerwatch.exe located in the /editor folder. I've read somewhere that to pack your level, you need to drag and drop your level folder onto the LevelPacker.exe icon. This does not work for me.

If I simply try to open the LevelPacker.exe, I get a quit flash of terminal and nothing else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, so the level packer takes your level folder as an argument, so instead of dragging and dropping you can just set the argument yourself, so something like:
mono LevelPacker.exe my_campaign/

Awesome. I'll give it a try and report back.

Here's the output I got:

Hmm, can you try using an absolute path and see if that works?

Like this?

I just tried again, this time with the example folder and it worked fine. Will investigate further as to why the other folder won't pack.
