simon1dos: linux path case sensitive bug

Reported by: SF/meeuw Owned by: SF/ender
Priority: low Component: Engine: AGOS
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Simon the Sorcerer 1

Description

$ ./scummvm -p ~/bin/Simon simon1dos
Unable to open configuration file:
/home/meeuw/.scummvmrc.

Detected game 'Simon the Sorcerer 1 for DOS', version
99.99.99
WARNING: loading /home/meeuw/bin/simongamepc.
!
Error: Error loading gamepc file 'GAMEPC' (or one of the
files it depends on)!

when i renamed the "~bin/Simon" directory to "~bin/simon" it worked... I suppose this wouldn't be too difficult to fix...

btw I'm using CVS 20020615

This should be fixed in the current CVS. Can you try it (with the uppercase path) and let me know? Cheers.

and I have a gamepc (in lower-case).
I don't think -thats- a bug, it is a dos script after all...

I've found a nice kornshell script on:
http://www.mort.level5.net/johnr/shell/lower2upper.txt

#!/bin/ksh
#
# lower2upper.sh
#
# Shell script for changing all lowercase filenames in a
directory
# to uppercase filenames.

for oldfile in *
do

newfile=`echo $oldfile| tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'`

if [ $newfile != $oldfile ]
then
mv $oldfile $newfile
fi
done

Now my ol' Simon works! :-) whiii

I don't think you'll need to fix this... If the game scripts requests
files in uppercase you'll need to feed it with it...

Great work!

Actually, thats not the problem. ScummVM automatically trys lower AND upper case. The problem is that your -p command is missing a trailing slash!

./scummvm -p ~/bin/Simon/ simon1dos is what you should have used

comment:7 by SF/meeuw, 22 years ago

Hmm... you are right. It works fine!
Silly me... Maybe the error message should contain the full pathname to the file?

comment:8 by SF/ender, 22 years ago

Actually, I'll add checking for trailing slashes in the future :)

Closing bug as definatly fixed.
