Zandronum on Ubuntu does not pass PWADs while path contains spaces

#1

Post by afullo » Mon Oct 28, 2013 11:02 pm

Hi all. Playing on Ubuntu, I simply tried to entering in a server and, after having downloaded all the PWADs required, the execution did not continue after reporting that the server had a certain number of WADs (the ones I just dl) which I, from his perspective, was missing.

Considering I worked in the afternoon on issues related to namepaths concerning another software (lol, an impeccable sense of timing :smile: ), I noticed that the path where he downloaded, also included in the folders in which he would search for WADs, contained some spaces, so I move my files into another folder without them in the name. This fixed the problem.

Is it a known issue, or it could be of some use to know it?

Isn't it a bad idea to have filepaths with spaces anyways? :p

Regardless, it should always either put the paths in double quotes or escape Spaces and all Quotes in File/Folder names.

Reported: http://zandronum.com/tracker/view.php?id=1562 :)

Sure is better to avoid spacing or use adequate characters for delimitation purposes, but nowadays it has became more usual to be less precise on these matters. We are taking the bad way... :razz:

That could be a browser problem. Does it work in IDE?

Assuming he is on Linux system, and IDE is windows application, he cannot open IDE. At least without wine.

Just for future reference, the correct term is parse.

Oh right, I forgot the crucial part about the OS. Well, does it work without Doomseeker by launching the game via command line?

No.
Doomseeker - a real answer to cross-platform server browser.
Doomseeker dev builds - unofficial Doomseeker builds for Windows.
Gamer's Proxy - a program to emulate ping and packet losses.

This problem also applies to IWADs.

From the terminal:

It doesn't work

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad /home/<your username>/.zandronum/I   W A D/doom2.wad

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad '/home/<your username>/.zandronum/I   W A D/doom2.wad'

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad "/home/<your username>/.zandronum/I   W A D/doom2.wad"

zandronum -iwad /home/<your username>/.zandronum/I\ \ \ W\ A\ D/doom2.wad

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad ~/.zandronum/I   W A D/doom2.wad

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad ~/.zandronum/I\ \ \ W\ A\ D/doom2.wad

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad $HOME/.zandronum/I   W A D/doom2.wad

zandronum -iwad "$HOME/.zandronum/I   W A D/doom2.wad"

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad $HOME/.zandronum/I\ \ \ W\ A\ D/doom2.wad

Folder name: IWAD
IWAD: doom2.wad

It works!

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad /home/<your username>/.zandronum/IWAD/doom2.wad

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad '/home/<your username>/.zandronum/IWAD/doom2.wad'

zandronum -iwad "/home/<your username>/.zandronum/IWAD/doom2.wad"

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad ~/.zandronum/IWAD/doom2.wad

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad $HOME/.zandronum/IWAD/doom2.wad

Code: Select all

zandronum -iwad "$HOME/.zandronum/IWAD/doom2.wad"
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (Virtual Machine)

Folder name:

Code: Select all

I   W A D
IWAD: doom2.wad

It works!

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Zandronum\zandronum.exe" -iwad "C:\WADS\I   W A D\doom2.wad"
Folder name:

Code: Select all

I   W A D $  & ( )
IWAD: doom2.wad

It works!

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Zandronum\zandronum.exe" -iwad "C:\WADS\I   W A D $  & ( )\doom2.wad"
Zandronum has no problem with spaces on Windows but can't handle spaces on Linux.

UPDATE
I can also reproduce the problem with the latest version of ZDoom (2.8pre-237-g7dbf4ec) on Linux.
