Package: gemrb-planescape-torment
Version: 0.8.0-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

I just bought PS:T on gog.com and thought I'd use gemrb to play it
instead of relying on wine. I noticed the following four initial
problems:

1. the gemrb-planescape-torment package is missing a README file

After having installed gemrb-planescape-torment I was at a loss of what
to do next. I did not see any README or other documentation being
shipped in /usr/share/doc. Having such a file would greatly improve the
usability of this package.

2. ~/.gemrb/planescape-torment.cfg is not used

The only "documentation" seems to be the file in
examples/planescape-torment.cfg which at the top says "Copy this file to
~/.gemrb/planescape-torment.cfg". Unfortunately, even after having
created the ~/.gemrb directory and copied the file over, its contents
are ignored. Instead, the contents of /etc/gemrb/planescape-torment.cfg
are used. It should be the other way round.

3. could you add a comment in planescape-torment.cfg for the gog
   install?

I do not know how the file layout is for other installations but when
playing from a gog installation, then the variables CD1-CD6 in
planescape-torment.cfg do have to point to the ./data directory instead.
A small comment in that file to point that out would've saved me some
time.

4. resolutions other than 640x480 are broken

When choosing any other resolution than 640x480 I end up with flickering
and unusable dialog windows in the game. It would be great if a comment
in planescape-torment.cfg could either point out that one should not
change these values or what else must be done so that the game becomes
playable with higher resolutions.

Thank you for your consideration!

cheers, josch
