Glulx games which access supplemental files do not correctly autosave/restore the glk filerefs #237

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Glulx games which access supplemental files do not correctly autosave/restore 
the glk filerefs, causing spurious errors when those files are access after an 
autorestore.
For example, Alabaster has 'alabastersettings' and 'alabasterconc' files.  
These aren't crucial and the game is still playable, but it's supposed to 
remember what endings you've seen between restarts, and it doesn't.

What version of Frotz are you using?
1.6

What device model are you using (e.g., iPhone 5, iPhone 3GS, iPad 4, iPod
Touch 4th gen.)
All

What version of iOS?  6.1, 7.0, etc.)
7.0

Please provide any additional information below.

That's funny, I absolutely can't replicate that, and I've tried pretty hard 
just now. Well done on catching it.

Try this:

- Start a new game of Alabaster, get to first real prompt.
- Type 'look' or any other command.  Press home button to cause autosave.
-  Kill iFrotz with double tap home button and swipe up, so that when it 
relaunches it uses the autosave instead of just resuming the app via OS support.
- Relaunch Frotz
- Type "burn her"
- Type "again"

This will end the game, and should print a couple error messages in brackets 
about being unable to open a file, although the other game end text prints 
normally.
The 'endings' option at the restart/restore prompt will only print the ending 
you just encountered, when it's supposed to keep track of all endings you've 
played through, even in other sessions.

I get the error messages, but I still see all the endings I had previously plus 
this new one. Ah well, well spotted nonetheless.

Fixed in release 1.7, now available (as soon as App Store servers update).
