Java Rewrite Dataloss Bug

[igi]

The Java rewrite doesn't work for me.

I can select the source and sink directories, but I can get no other action to occur after that

 

 

EDIT: Just tried the new version posted today. A small improvement over the last version - I nget get a 0 byte dialog.tlk file after clicking go (the old version didn't even do that).

Looking into it.

If you run it in a console (java -jar MultiInstall-....jar ), does it print anything?

Ok, this appears to be a slightly bigger problem than was thought. There appears to be a bug such that MIT will truncate files in your source folder while copying them. Caution comes recommended. Also, with the published version, there's a bug (now fixed locally) that would cause it to complain about running out of memory if you have less than 8GB available.

I've split these posts and updated the title to suit the now-known nature of the bug. The latest version at http://www.gibberlings3.net/downloads/Mult...-20060713-1.jar now copies more than dialog.tlk (although you need to create a dummy dialogf.tlk for now), but it still truncates files in the source game.

Ok, there's another new version at http://www.gibberlings3.net/downloads/Mult...-20060713-2.jar . This should fix the bug. Can someone verify this?

 

The problem was that in GameDir.cloneTo(File sink), I the patching was being applied to the source/ file, rather than to the copied file. I've no idea why this would have resulted in a 0-byte file in the sink, but hopefully that won't happen anymore either.
