Incorrect game path handling with symlinks

[dpogue]

My main MOULa installation is at /home/dpogue/Plasma/MOULagain/Uru Live My local DS installation is at /home/dpogue/Plasma/DS/Local

I have set up my local DS installation such that dat and sfx are symlinks to the folders in the MOULa installation.

korman is configured to point to my local DS installation.

When I export an Age with SDL, it attempts to save files into /home/dpogue/Plasma/MOULagain/Uru Live/SDL which does not exist, instead of /home/dpogue/Plasma/DS/Local/SDL. This seems to be because at export time we do everything based off the destination of the .age file in the dat directory, and attempt to find other folders based on its parent.

I think this might work if we didn't call resolve() on the file path, since that seems to be what is unraveling my symlink.

/home/dpogue/Plasma/MOULagain/Uru Live/SDL which does not exist

The client's SDL directory must exist, otherwise it has no SDL.

[dpogue]

/home/dpogue/Plasma/DS/Local/SDL exists, containing the plaintext SDL files from the H-uru/Plasma folder. (In fact, I think that's a symlink to my H-uru/Plasma git clone)

/home/dpogue/Plasma/MOULagain/Uru Live/SDL does not exist because it is a standard MOULa installation.

[Hoikas]

Standard MOULa installs are not supported.

[dpogue]

yes... I am not exporting to a standard MOULa installation. I am exporting to a local DS installation, whose dat folder is symlinked to my MOULa installation's dat folder.

The error is that korman is dereferencing the symlink and trying to treat the MOULa folder as the export location.

[Hoikas]

You need to export to a functioning H'uru internal client... Not a DS.

[dpogue]

By "local DS installation" I mean a client folder set up with a H'uru internal client, configured to point at my local DS server. avi, dat, sfx symlinked to the MOULa installation, SDL & Python symlinked to the Scripts in a H-uru/Plasma clone.

Blender is set up with ~/Plasma/DS/Local-64 as the Uru installation folder.
