VFS.Mount question...

[willjm]

Hello,

I am trying to run the walktest application with a new map called room02. I have ran into the problem of "crystalspace.maploader.parse.map: Could not open map file 'world' on VFS!". I have the following in a file named room02.cfg

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Set the default texture in the event that one can not be found
Map2CS.TextureSettings.DefaultTexture = liquids/bubbles

; Add your texture packs here
Map2CS.TextureSettings.pk1 = G:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\baseq3\pak0.pk3
Map2CS.TextureSettings.pk2 = G:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\missionpack\mapmedia-TA.pk3

; Scale the map from Quake scaling (1 unit equals 1 inch)
; to Crystal Space scaling (1 unit equals 1 meter)
Map2CS.General.Scaling = 0.025

; Enable BSP-tree generation in all sectors
Map2CS.General.UseBSP = 1

; Remove hidden surfaces
Map2CS.General.RemoveHidden = 1

; Set the lighting level for the map
Map2CS.General.LightScale=30

; Application ID string
System.ApplicationID = Map2CS

; Some basic mount points
VFS.Mount.~ = $(HOME)$/
VFS.Mount.lev/room02  = $@..$/maps$/room02$/data$/room02.zip

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I add the last line "VFS.Mount.lev/room02  = $@..$/maps$/room02$/data$/room02.zip" to my vfs.config file, walktest finds the map in the mount point and runs just fine. I would like to keep that local to the config file for room02. Is this possible?

Thanks!

walktest doesn't know anything about your local configuration file. An alternative is to use walktest's built-in ability to mount .zip files automatically. I believe that you should be able to just mention the name of the .zip files on the walktest command-line.

Ok,

I realize my mistake now and I thank you for pointing that out.

Yes you are correct to say you can run it from the walktest command-line.

G:\Crystal\CS>walktest ..\maps\room02\data\room02.zip -relight

This successfully loads the map; however my curiosity lies with the config files. It seems that if I add "VFS.Mount.lev/room02  = $@..$/maps$/room02$/data$/room02.zip" to the walktest.cfg file it still yields the same error. Should this be happening? It was my understanding that the local cfg file overrides the vfs.cfg. Is this a mistake in my understanding?

Thanks,

If you have your own project or your own modules, you can have a local file named vfs.cfg which overrides (is merged into) the distributed vfs.cfg. VFS only looks for, and in, files named vfs.cfg.
