I'm having this problem too. I guess its because my knowledge is a bit shady here.

I've been told that quest text and screenshots can be found in the PlaneShift folder, yet I don't see them.
Screenshots appear to save ok. I'm wondering if its a "permissions" issue or that I'm simply looking in the wrong place.

an explanation.

I installed Planeshift in a "Games" folder I created myself rather that "opt".
Seems a bit odd, I know, but its set as Games/Planeshift/PlaneShift

Book text saves ok in that folder as well as all the other expected stuff such as setup, launch, guide etc. But I don't see what I need as mention above.

Can anyone help?

look in /home/<username>/.PlaneShift and the path to where you installed is correct the game makes a folder to install in named PlaneShift so that if you uninstall you dont delete for example your home directory.

Does the folder ~/.PlaneShift/ exist at your computer? (The same like the other one mentioned, but a different way to get it)
If so, is there anything in it? If so, then what?

Are you searching for files you saved in this version (0.4) or files you save in the versions before that?

Did you talk with NPCs yet and/or made own notes for quests? Did you take screenshots yet?

The Planeshift folder does exist. It has all the (I guess) expected folders in it i.e. pssetup, psclient, art, data, docs, guide etc etc. It even has the text files of the books I've saved within the game, but none of those folders or files has the screenshots I made of the chat logs.

I'm running 7.10 Gutsy Ubuntu.

BTW, I've tried a search of my hard drive for those file to no avail. Seems odd because when I use the /screenshot command in game it does notify me that the screenshot has been created.

if you are looking for ~/.Planeshift then no it does not exist you are looking for ~/.PlaneShift [caps matter]

Ah  yes the files were hidden and I've now worked it out. Brilliant! Thanks very much for your help.
