SCUMM: LOOM Mac - Steam version exits immediately with error()

Description
Steps to reproduce: 1) Purchase and install Loom in Steam if not done already. 2) Once installed right click the Loom entry in your Library and select "Properties". Select "Local Files" and from there "Browse Local Files". In Finder notice the location of the single application bundle called "Loom". 3) Start ScummVM and select "Add Game...". Navigate to folder you saw in the previous step. 4) Notice that if you select the application bundle it will not get recognized by ScummVM. 5) Go back to Finder and right click the Loom application bundle. Select "Show Contents". Copy the "Contents" folder somewhere on your hard drive. 6) Select "Add Game..." again in ScummVM and navigate to the folder where you copied the "Contents" folder. 7) The game gets correctly detected as: ID = loom-steam-mac, Name = Loom (Steam/Machintosh/English), Language = English, Platform = Macintosh. 8) Try to launch the game in ScummVM. 9) Game will not launch, instead error message is displayed: "Cannot find file:'000.lfl'"
Details: ScummVM version: ScummVM 1.8.0git49-g24595ed (Jul 9 2014 08:11:42) Features compiled in: TAINTED Vorbis FLAC MP3 SEQ TiMidity RGB zLib MPEG2 Theora FreeType2 JPEG PNG Mac OSX 10.9.4. 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 Gt 1333Mhz DDR 3 Memory, Intel HD3000 integrated graphics
Notes: I am not sure how Steam/Mac versions should be added to ScummVM that is why I included rather elaborate steps to reproduce in case it is an user error.

If I follow the steps described here I get the same issue. I am also on MacOS 10.9 and I am using a version compiled from the current branch-1-7 head (aa31d1f).
File Contents/MacOS/Loom Size:393 572 bytes MD5: b4a677bf27c010a747975705108ff1e6 So this is exactly the same ones posted by Filippos.

Could you try with the Windows version, too? You can download it via the Windows Steam client.
Under Windows, both the Windows and the Mac versions work fine. Reading through the code, I can't find any reason why the game executable isn't accessed properly (which is what this error means). Quite odd.

That particular error() is only emitted from ScummEngine::askForDisk(): https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/scumm/resource.cpp#L213
In turn, this is only called from ScummEngine::openRoom(): https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/scumm/resource.cpp#L65
Probably this particular call: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/scumm/resource.cpp#L143

Since either call uses ScummEngine::openResourceFile() to actually get the datafile i.e. 000.lfl: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/scumm/resource.cpp#L203
Then the issue is whether ScummEngine::openFile() is finding that file: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/scumm/resource.cpp#L184
comment:7 by , 10 years ago
My guess here is that this may be because ScummSteamFile implements the open() method, but not the openSubFile() method which is used in one case: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/scumm/file.h#L135 https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/scumm/resource.cpp#L192
This does not cause an error as the base class, ScummFile implements it in the "normal" way, but will of course not find this if it is inside the Steam container...

digitall: no, only specific versions are packed in container files. In such cases, ALL of the game data files are in the container. Such versions are distinguished via the kGenUnchanged file generation method.
In the Mac Steam version of Loom, only the main index file (000.lfl) is packed inside the main executable, whereas the rest of the datafiles are not packed. These are distinguished by the kGenDiskNumSteam/kGenRoomNumSteam file generation methods. Thus, there will never be a global container file set in these versions, so the code blocks you pointed at should never be reached in this case.

This fails when calling ScummFile::open("Loom") from ScummSteamFile::openWithSubRange.
But I got it working. The issue is that you need to have all the files in the same directory, for example copy the Loom executable from MacOS into Resources and then select that directory when adding the game. With the instructions from the original poster, for some reasons selecting the Content directory does detect the game correctly, despite the executable being in a MacOS sub-directory, but then that executable is not found when starting the game.

@Thierry Crozat: Thanks!
That means that lines 1052-1055 in scumm.cpp are not working as they should in MacOS: SearchMan.addSubDirectoryMatching(gameDataDir, "Contents"); SearchMan.addSubDirectoryMatching(gameDataDir, "Contents/MacOS"); SearchMan.addSubDirectoryMatching(gameDataDir, "Contents/Resources"); SearchMan.addSubDirectoryMatching(gameDataDir, "Contents/Resources/video");
Does the game work if you copy these out of the if block ("Extra directories needed for the Steam versions") together with the other lines above the if blok?
comment:11 by , 10 years ago
@Filippos: Those lines work as expected. The issue is that Loom.app does not appear as a directory but appears as an application file on Mac. So you cannot select it when adding a game. Which is why the original bug reporter copied the Contents directory outside of the Loom.app bundle and selected Contents when adding the game. And then there is no "Contents/MacOS" subdirectory in there. Adding the following lines make it work correctly in this configuration: SearchMan.addSubDirectoryMatching(gameDataDir, "MacOS"); SearchMan.addSubDirectoryMatching(gameDataDir, "Resources"); SearchMan.addSubDirectoryMatching(gameDataDir, "Resources/video");
An alternative to copying Contents outside the application bundle is to rename the application bundle. If you remove the ".app" from "Loom.app", then it appears as a folder and you can select it when adding the game. And then everything work well with the current code.

I pushed a commit to treat bundles as directories in the OS X file browser. So now we can select Loom.app when adding a game and it all works as expected afterward. So I will close this as fixed.

That is very odd. Can you please provide the name, file size and MD5 hash of your Loom main executable?
