yes or perhaps i can use the syscall file function of Jedi academt to write a file instead of using fwrite...

the problem is that i don't know where goes the file writen by those syscall function on MAC os X

if it does not go in ~/Libraty/appliction support/jedi academy/base

the pk3 will not be loaded

*shrug* seems like an interesting feature but I'm not sure it would be worth the time commitment. The only people that regular use OJP run it in server-only mode so spending the time to port/debug this sort of code seems like time that could be better spent on gameplay features.

i found a code snippet that copies the file and it's only like 20 lines in the C code. i'll post it later

ensiform · 10-19-2005, 09:36 AM

1 line :x

Code:

FS_CopyFile ( fromOSpath, toOSpath );

stubert · 10-19-2005, 09:43 AM

Code:

int FileCopy( const char *src, const char *dst )

{

   #define BUFSZ 16000



   char            *buf[BUFSZ];

   FILE            *fi;

   FILE            *fo;

   unsigned        amount;

   unsigned        written;

   int             result;



  // buf = new char;



   fi = fopen( src, "rb" );

   fo = fopen( dst, "wb" );



   result = COPY_OK;

   if  ((fi == NULL) || (fo == NULL) )

    {

      result = COPY_ERROR;

      if (fi != NULL) fclose(fi);

      if (fo != NULL) fclose(fo);

    }



   if (result == COPY_OK)

    {

      do

      {

         amount = fread( buf, sizeof(char), BUFSZ, fi );

         if (amount)

         {

            written = fwrite( buf, sizeof(char), amount, fo );

            if (written != amount)

            {

            result = COPY_ERROR; // out of disk space or some other disk err?

            }

         }

      } // when amount read is < BUFSZ, copy is done

     while ((result == COPY_OK) && (amount == BUFSZ));

         fclose(fi);



     fclose(fo);

   }

   //delete [] buf;

   return(result);

}

you have control over the path with this

Slider744 · 10-19-2005, 10:09 AM

yes i know what fo = fopen( dst, "wb" ); does

i already use it for the win32 version

the pb is that on mac the dst path is ~/Library/........./base which points to /Users/USERNAME_onMAC_OS_X/Library/................/base

fopen( "/Users/USERNAME_onMAC_OS_X/Library/................/base/test.pk3"
, "wb" ); will WORK

fopen( "~/Library/................/base/test.pk3"
, "wb" ); will NOT WORK

so i need on mac os X to know the user starting the JediAcademy.app application which is absolutly not in the same folders like for the windows game...

OR as i said, perhaps using the trap syscall fs_write functions will give on mac os x a better result as the main client programm will make the work to write the files in the good folder...
I think it will give a try to this method for mac ox x....

on windows i used fwrite because i can like that write the pk3 in base folder...
I am pratically sure that the base engine syscall fs_write will write the file in the fs_game folder which is not what i want...

woa stubert, you live philadelhpia?

i went to philadelphia a few month ago...

The path seems to be stored in fs_homepath on the OS X version. I don't think that "base" is included at the end of the path

thats cool slider, you were on vacation?

heu no it was for work

can u tell me redsaurus what is the value of fs_homepath?

is it /Users/Redsaurus/Library/Application SUpport/Jedi Academy/ ?

then inside there is base and all other mod folders like japlus ?

razorace · 10-19-2005, 03:34 PM

Wow, cooperation. Sweet.

Jufa · 10-19-2005, 03:59 PM

The value of fs_homepath is stored in old Mac OS 9 folder system paths, it seems:

Code:

Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:Jedi Academy MP

Jufa: yes

I'll reply to it soon

Hum
but is it because you have an old MAC version?
