ERROR: Failed to read dat '/things/1098/Tibia.dat': #1191

Hi,

ERROR: Failed to read dat '/things/1098/Tibia.dat': unable to open file '/things/1098/Tibia.dat': not found'
ERROR: Failed to load sprites from '/things/1098/Tibia.spr': unable to open file '/things/1098/Tibia.spr': not found

Seems kinda strange that the clients wants to check in /things/1098 right?

./modules/client_terminal/commands.lua:    local filepath = '/things/' .. file
./modules/game_things/things.lua:    datPath = resolvepath('/things/' .. filename)
./modules/game_things/things.lua:    sprPath = resolvepath('/things/' .. filename)
./modules/game_things/things.lua:    datPath = resolvepath('/things/' .. version .. '/Tibia')
./modules/game_things/things.lua:    sprPath = resolvepath('/things/' .. version .. '/Tibia')

Why is this hard-coded like this?

That's intended, the files are loaded from the respective protocol version folders so that you can use it on different version servers.

wioxjk commented 1 year ago

Oh I was probably unclear. I do understand that it looks for different versions in different catalogues. However, the path, since it starts with a "/" - it will then look on the root of the filesystem for a catalogue named "things".

I am not sure that people should or would want place a catalogue there toghether with etc, opt, dev and so on. Would it be possible to make path relative to the binary instead?

diath commented 1 year ago

It's not the filesystem root but rather PhysFS mount root, PhysFS creates a virtual filesystem of sorts that uses absolute paths as relative to the mounted PhysFS root. All you have to do is create the things directory where your client binary is. https://www.icculus.org/physfs/

Oh, I have totally missunderstood then. I guess I have to find the .dat files also and populate the catalogues too?

diath commented 1 year ago

Yes, you have to obtain the assets from the original game and put them in the correct directories yourself.

Thanks for clarifying. I suppose this project cant really include the files due to legal reasons.
