[Bug] DoomRunner 1.7.2 concatenates -savedir value and save file name in -loadgame value

[bryanburke]

• DoomRunner version: 1.7.2
• GZDoom version: 4.10.0
• OS: Windows and Linux

When More options -> Alternative paths -> Save dir has a value, DoomRunner appends -savedir <savedir_value> to the GZDoom launch command as expected.

... -savedir "./foo" ...

However, when More options -> Launch mode -> Load saved game is selected and has a value, DoomRunner appends -loadgame <savedir_value>/<savefile_value> to the launch command, effectively concatenating the save directory and the save file name.

... -loadgame "./foo/save00.zds" -savedir "./foo" ...

This causes GZDoom 4.10.0 (I did not test earlier versions) to try to load a save game file at ./foo//./foo/save00.zds and thus crash with the error message:

Cannot find savegame ./foo//./foo/save00.zds

I believe the fix is for DoomRunner to provide only the save file name as the -loadgame value:

... -loadgame "save00.zds" -savedir "./foo" ...

Note that I did not test older GZDoom versions, so I do not know if this bug is a result of a change in GZDoom behavior.

Thanks for your time!

Thanks for reporting! This should be easy to fix. I was just about to release a new version with bugfixes yesterday, but luckily for us both i postponed it, so i can include this in it. Laziness saved me once again 😁

Should be fixed in the recently released 1.7.3.
