DTExtract fails when it's located in weird paths #1

Open grepwood opened 8 years ago

Initially I had DTExtract.exe in Z:\home\grepwood\UndertaleTranslator\DetermiToolkit_v0.4b_unst (yes, I use Wine), and my data.win was located nearby, in Z:\home\grepwood\UndertaleTranslator\Undertale\data.win. In such case, DTExtract would fail with such a message:

[] CRITICAL: data.win doesn't exist in the specified path!

When I renamed DetermiToolkit_v0.4b_unst directory into DetermiToolkit4, it finally started to work.

Note: DTExtract.exe has been started by DetermiToolkit.exe in both cases.

AutoIt scripts tend to have some weird errors under Wine. I tried to replicate this in my Windows 10 installation (yes, I've also recreated the same paths as you used in your Wine directory on my C drive) and DTExtract ran flawlessly. What I think might've happened to you is that, for some kind of reason, Wine recognized DetermiToolkit_v0.4b_unst as a file instead of a directory due to the dot in its name (DetermiToolkit4 had no dot in it).

I know that it sucks, but I simply can't guarantee that DetermiToolkit will work flawlessly under Wine. I tried to run some of my scripts with it on Linux previously and I had to write tons of workarounds to get them working just fine... sadly there's no other way to run AutoIt scripts on Linux or Mac OS X tho =/
