[0.4.0] [Blood] Subfolders in .Zip mods don't work

[markanini]

This works fine

Code: Select all

raze.exe /j "awesomemod.zip" -ini "file.ini"

But this doesnt

Code: Select all

raze.exe /j "awesomemod.zip" -ini "subfolder/file.ini"

Works fine here. Please post a runnable example that produces the error.

This is an example of a zip that has issues https://www.moddb.com/games/blood/addon ... st-episode when I try to run it errors: "Initialization: lostblood\lostblood.ini does not exist".
Trying

Code: Select all

raze.exe /j "Lostblood.zip" -ini "lostblood\lostblood.ini"

and

Code: Select all

raze.exe /j "Lostblood.zip\lostblood" -ini "lostblood.ini"

causes the same type of error.
I can make run I once I reassemble the zip so it contains no subfolders.

I think you forward shashes and not backslashes.

I think you forward shashes and not backslashes.

I tried both ways, still errors.

Not really surprising. First, the way this mod is set up it cannot be run without unpacking it first. The references to the maps in the INI do not work inside the zip file because they have no path.
Second, the INI is called "blood.ini", not "lostblood.ini".

...I think you'll have to be more specific than that. What are we supposed to look at?

I'd like to add that loading INIs in subfolders inside ZIP files does work in BloodGDX, I presume it considers the location of the INI file as root.

IMO care needs to be taken when considering this.

I think NBlood just ignores the path to some data. Whether that's a good think I'll leave up to debate. Unfortunately Blood's entire file system implementation is an even bigger mess than Ken's and NBlood recreated the entire thing to the last detail and then adds some glue code for mods on top of it to make it a bit easier to handle.

I think what should be done in a case like this is to do the same thing as in GZDoom - just strip the container's path off it.
