Aquaria: Sacrifice v1.12

[Guy]

Th issue with saved games thumbnails in mods is a bug that got brought up during the Mac beta (or maybe it was just after release). Unfortunately the fix only ever made it into Windows 1.1.1 (and later) - it still affects both Mac versions and I guess the Linux version too. For Mac, you can fix it by adding a symlink to /Users in the mod's graphics folder. Presumably you could have a similar symlink to fix it on Linux.

Another possible Linux bug: text panels are not loaded (white square is shown instead). After all files in the mod are renamed to lowercase, the panels are loaded successfully.

Thanks for finding this out. Pretty weird and lame that capitalization is an issue for the Linux build. Did you discover if it was just the image files that needed to be lowercase? I can change everything but I kinda like using caps to make it easier to identify files.

I guess I'll have to wait for the imminent source release to find out what causes the problem. I think other files would need renaming too (I think Elena did not properly react to the first transport turtle before I renamed the files).

In the meantime, it would be nice to find out if other Linux users are seeing the same problem, or is it just me? Try swimming left and then upwards from the beginning to meet a guard — are his speech panels showing up properly?

I renamed all directories and files to lowercase.  Text works great now, no segfaults.  I've just gotten out of the castle though, so I haven't had time to give it a really good test.

From the rpg_PrequalCampaign directory I ran:

find | rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/'

It seems to have done the trick.  I've contemplated zipping it up and throwing it on my vps, perhaps I should for us linux folks

[Guy]

You guys using case-sensitive filesystems?

[Lady-Succubus]

Linux tends to have a case sensitive filesystem. :3

[TheBear]

Lower case it is then. I'm not sure how or if I can run a rename like that on XP. If one of you wants to host a zip with all lowercase I'll make that the official build. It will save me time from doing it manually.

[Lady-Succubus]

You'd probably have to find a program to bulk rename for you like that. I think someone giving you a zip of everything renamed would be the better idea. xD

[JockeTF]

I created an archive with lower case file names. You can find it at http://furver.se/2009_08_20_sacrifice_v1.1_lc.zip.
I didn't change the capitalization of the mod's root directory as it broke the save game compatibility (made Aquaria crash when loading a saved game).

[Yogoda]

So you mean we should name all the scripts, graphics, mod name and the entries in the tilesets with lowercase only ?

Aww, will have a lot of work

We are using SVN, and SVN is not case sensitive so I can't rename my files ...

[Dolphin's Cry]

Yes, you can, but you have to use a trick. Rename the files in two steps. For example you could add an underscore in the first step. In the second step remove the underscore and change the filename to lowercase: MyFile -> _MyFile -> myfile

[Yogoda]

It works ! Thanks a lot

[TheBear]

Thanks for the help JockeTF. The file will be updated on ModDB once it is approved.

A couple fixes brought to my attention with the additional content in patch v1.1.

- boss rush map against forest goddess now loads Elena into the map properly (node missing so being spawned in void)
- orb holder properly activates laser beam on energy god boss rush map (script for special orb holder missing)
- save crystal can no longer be accessed while riding Fedor
