Not too shy to talk

@all

After Vanilla Conquer (C&C), I am now working on Augustus (open source new version of Ceaser 3 strategy game)

https://github.com/Keriew/augustus

I am able to compile the executable with latest SDL 2.24 and SDL2 Mixer.

I am able to compile AmigaOS executable with newlib (I don't have the all libraries compiled for clib2 yet)

Now I have compiled Augustus port for OS4 and I have Ceaser3 data files (GOG version).

However when I run the game, Snoopy (SnoopDOS) shows that Amiga executable is adding "./" to in front of data files.

E.g. "./c3.eng" instead "c3.eng).

Any ideas how to solve it ? What am I doing wrong ?

The file related sources are in this directory

I am not expert with coding, but linux operates / and // in path the same way.
I.e.: path/path2 = path//path2, /path = //path

Can be possible that somewhere in the code "/" is added in case the path is not specified correctly (i.e. is without /)?

There is already a port for MorphOS, maybe can help you

Just can't stay away

@SinanSam460

Just link the executable with -lunix and it will fix those pathing issues.

static const char *get_case_corrected_file(const char *dir, const char *filepath)

{

    static char corrected_filename[2 * FILE_NAME_MAX];

    corrected_filename[2 * FILE_NAME_MAX - 1] = 0;



    size_t dir_len = 0;

    size_t dir_skip = 0;

    if (!dir || !*dir) {

        dir = ".";

        dir_skip = 2;

    }

    dir_len = strlen(dir);

    strncpy(corrected_filename, dir, 2 * FILE_NAME_MAX - 1);

    if (dir_len) {

        if (dir[dir_len - 1] != '/') {

            corrected_filename[dir_len] = '/';

            dir_len++;

        }

    }

do note that this isn't the only place probably but you have to #ifdef __amigaos4__
around for instance if (!dir||!*dir)
remove the dir = "." and check the remaining parts

You sir are a rock star! Caesar 3 is my fav city building/management game, and I was always hoping someone will look into Augustus and port it to AOS 4.1. Thank you! Gameplay of Augustus is awesome, bugs fixed, improvements to the original game added. I've completed Augustus, both military and economic missions last year, but I am ready for a new campaign!

Thanks it worked..

I got it working based on BeWorld's MorphOS port.. I'll test it and will post a video soon.

If all goes well, I will upload it to OS4Depot.

Seems works on my x5000 as well:

Did you use newlib in end or afxgroup's clib2 ? If newlib, which ones 3d party libs you miss for clib2 ?

Btw, what i noticed, that when you move window, output flooded with SDL information about "window move to coordinates blblabla", maybe worth to disable ?

Great work. Well done man.
And of course thanks to BeWorld for helping out and Capehill for his continuous work on SDL

Yeah, that would be great to be disabled, because output like that steals frames from the games.

Very nice work! And many thanks...
I will test on X1000 and Sam440ep-flex (there I wonder if it will be playable)

I see on video that speed on Sam460ex is sufficient.

Thanks for nice words.

I have disabled SDL_Log during gameplay, so these messages won't be displayed.

I used newlib this time..

For Clib2, I think I am missing tinyfiledialogs and expat libraries.

expat ones are ./configure;make , and tinyfiledialogs as i can see just a .c file you linked with, not a stub lib ?

Do you think clib2 version will improve the performance ?

Probabaly not, just it can be another test case to be sure clib2 is ok to be used in bigger projects :) But in terms of port, if everything fine already and good enough, then it will be not better with lib2 probabaly.
