downloads don't work when HOMEDIR is on UNC path

[moobyfr]

Hi, with version 0.180 and spring 96, there is something strange on maps/game download. I use a regular (i.e.nonadmin user) on windows 7. If I want to download a map or a game, nothing comes. If I create in my HOMEDIR "My Documents\My games\spring{maps,games}", DL works , files are present. but springlobby still don't see them If I move these files in c:\ProgramData\Spring\maps there are visible by springlobby and usuable by spring.

So I think that maps/games should go in C:\ProgramData\spring directly

I have more errors to report, but that's related to my Active Directory and profile redirections:

"Warning: Could not create directory //server.domain.net: No such file or directory" where server.domain.net is a share where my profile is stored, but this is non-blocking

i guess thats causing these problems: "Warning: Could not create directory //server.domain.net: No such file or directory" where server.domain.net is a share where my profile is stored, but this is non-blocking"

for some reason spring/springlobby has a problem with files in a UNC folder.

does spring see the files when you move them to My Documents\My games\spring{maps,games} ?

if not its imo a spring bug.

whats the output of help->system info in springlobby?

does it work with springlobby 0.185?

The entry "open Spring DataDir " opens the right directory (ProgramData\Spring in non-portable, and My Games\Spring in portable mode

In portable mode, springlobby let me download a map (or a mod) and it goes in My Games\Spring\maps (game) directory, but springlobby stills show the cross for indicating a 'not found' map) In non-portable mode, it seems to fail downloading the map. how can I debug more where it tries to save the map ?

springlobby downloads to: \vfiler-ad-pers.xxx\e.blindauer\Documents\My Games\Spring\

are there files in the subfolder maps, packages, pool, games?

if so, what does happen when you directly start spring.exe? does it list some maps/games?

note to myself: very likely related to this: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=31822&p=555654

The folders have been created by myself in \vfiler-ad-pers.xxx\e.blindauer\Documents\My Games\Spring\ (i.e games and maps) when I used 0.180. I tried to launch spring itself: It doesn't see maps/games in \vfiler-ad-pers.xxx\e.blindauer\Documents\My Games\Spring{maps,games}. It only see maps/games if I move them to c:\programdata\spring{maps,games}

can you please try the development version? http://springlobby.info/temp/builds/abma/sl_master.zip

i've fixed #199, maybe this bug is fixed as well.
