A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When running raze -cryptic from a terminal, Blood: Cryptic Passage does not load correctly. The Blood splash screen is displayed instead of the Cryptic Passage splash screen and textures are not rendered correctly in game.

There are two workarounds for the issue: 1: Use the GUI IWAD Dialogue Box and select Blood: Cryptic Passage 2: Run raze -iwad blood.rff -con cryptic.ini -art cpart07.ar -art cpart15.ar from a terminal. If the file names are uppercase then change as appropriate due to Linux being a case sensitive OS.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour.

Explain how to reproduce

1. Open a terminal
2. Run the command: raze -cryptic 3.Observe the glitches noted above

The code in-game expects the files to all be capitalised as we found it presented the best user experience as these files would have been capitalised on the CD, etc.

    else if (Args->CheckParm("-cryptic"))
    {
        gamegrp = "BLOOD.RFF";
        DefaultCon = "CRYPTIC.INI";
        const char* argv[] = { "CPART07.AR_", "CPART15.AR_" };
        AddArt.reset(new FArgs(2, argv));
    }

What casing are all of your files?

Hello, my game files are all lowercase. I can rename them and test again. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks

Hi, I renamed all of the files to uppercase but the issue still occurs when using the -cryptic flag.

Thanks for hanging in there! Fixed as of dc4105798449b5dcbe81c5a9a2e012fcb405f094. It was broken for all platforms and not just POSIX environments.

Thank you.
