Modpack/Xpack go in the directory you installed TT.
Everything acts like it does on windows if you use the -nohomedir option to launch it.
That is how I run two TT servers on Linux. I use the prefs in the ~/.bravetree./ThinkTanks/game/client/prefs.cs for one and the [where you installed TT]/game/client/prefs.cs for the one using -nohomedir.
And I edit them to my liking using vim, which IS the best editor. XD
In the directory you installed TT in ===> /ThinkTanks/game/data/missions.
You really don't want to mess with /.bravetree to much. So Racers right its smart to use the the nohomedir. You can modify it in /ThinkTanks thinktanksdedicated.cs like:
# configuration parameters
USE_XTERM=false # start server in an xterm <===== gets rid of that annoying second window
USE_DSLEEP=false # start server with -dsleep argument <==== I am not a big fan of dsleep
USE_NOHOMDIR=true # start server with the -nohomedir argument
USE_RESPAWN=false # restart server if it dies, with 10 second pause <==== can be annoying if you turn this on
# can also be enabled with -respawn
# Function to find the real directory a program resides in.
As for editing TT files I am a big fan of jedit, it easy to use. Its also cross platform so I can also use it in windows.

I use multi-billion dollar military satellites to find tupperware hidden in the woods... What do YOU do?
@DJ,
Heheh... Vim is really just a new version of vi, not a clone.
@NUTS,
It turns out that if you don't use the -nohomedir option then you must put all scripts you install (ignore script modwizard etc) in their normal folders, but in the ~/bravetree/thinktanks/ directories. So the main.cs from where you installed thinktanks executes scripts from ~/.bravetree/thinktanks/ and its subfolders.
You need to update your Firefox, dude...1.5.0.5

...When did it come out? I was using 1.0.8 until yesterday, and now you're telling me it's OBSOLETE? 8( Me and Arnieboy are going to have a serious chat on the Ubuntu forums about keeping Automatix current...
Anyways, could I, in theory, move everything from my ~/.BT to my instal dir and then just RM it?
Its my understanding that if you do no use the nohomedir that you could still place in scripts in the original location. However, if you launch 2 servers that were the issues may come in.
Not working. It's still segfaulting.
EDIT: Someone named "kool" said I should reboot Ubuntu while holding down space. I'm not quite sure whether he's an authority on Linux, but does anyone know more about this?

Experienced Linux TTers: Where do you install predownloads in order for them to work? The directory you installed TT? Or in ~/.bravetree/thinktanks?
