Blood and Cryptic Passage

[schmurtzm]

There is an error indeed Roms/PORTS/Games/Blood - Cryptic Passage (nblood) should not exist, all the data from main game and it's addon Crytpic Passage should be in the same directory : Roms/PORTS/Games/Blood (nblood)/.

Then there are 2 different shortcuts :
Blood (nblood).notfound
Blood - Cryptic Passage (nblood).notfound

As you can see each shortcut has its own "GameDataFile" , this is this file which will be detected by the import script. It means that if you have the file "BLOOD.RFF" in your folder you will see blood in the list of "roms" (after launching the import script) and if you have also "CP01.MAP" thenk you'll see Crytpic Passage shortcut too.

I'll push a fix tonight for the Roms/PORTS/Games/Blood - Cryptic Passage (nblood) which should not exist.

Hey by the way thanks for all your hard work man. I deleted the other folder. However I noticed that if I have the cryptic addon files in with the main blood files BOTH shortcuts start cryptic passage.

I deleted the Cryptic files and now I can start the original game.

Not a big deal. 90% of the ports are working fine thankfully.

Think I figured it out. You actually do need that second folder for cryptic passage. I then copied all the games files into that second folder.

Most critically however I edited the cryptic passage shortcut. It was pointing at the folder for the base game rather than for cryptic passage.

Now I have everything perfect! :) Hope this helps someone.

No no, you don't need both folders and you don't need to edit the shortcuts. Having only one "Blood (nblood)" folder is the good way.
I have pushed the fix and a new _required_files.txt easier to understand.

Can you give me information about the 10% which are not working for you ? ;)
