This error case can happen, but if it does, non-console users get an
ERROR page with no further information. So use setLevelDirError if this
failure mode happens. And Menu::errorloadinglevel needs to be changed to
accomodate that.
Not sure why the original implementation decided to do things this way
instead of snprintf'ing a path to the .zip itself. Otherwise, if the
level is from data.zip, PHYSFS_getRealDir() will return the path of
data.zip, which then fails to mount for separate reasons.
If a zip file is improperly structured, a message will be displayed when
the player loads the level list.
This will only display the last-displayed improper zip, because there
only needs to be one displayed at a time. Also because doing anything
more would most likely require heap allocation, and I don't want to do
that.
Let's say you have a zip named LEVELNAME.zip, but the only .vvvvvv file
it contains is NOTLEVELNAME.vvvvvv. This zip would end up printing both
the 'LEVELNAME.vvvvvv is missing' and 'It has .vvvvvv file(s) other than
LEVELNAME.vvvvvv' messages, even though we already know there's
something wrong with the zip, and the 'other level files' message is
redundant, since in this case the problem here is simply just the
.vvvvvv file being named the wrong way.
The 'other level files' message is only intended to be printed when
LEVELNAME.vvvvvv *does* exist, but there's additional .vvvvvv files in
the zip on top of that, so don't print this message if LEVELNAME.vvvvvv
exists.
Two problems: the fRandom() range was from 0..36, but that's 37
characters, not 36. And the check to sort the lower 26 values into the
Latin alphabet used a 'lesser-than-or-equal-to 26' check, even though
that checks for the range of values of 0..26, which is 27 letters, even
though the alphabet only has 26 letters. So just drop the equals sign
from that check.
It was checking for .vvv-mnt-temp-XXXXXX/LEVELNAME.vvvvvv instead of
LEVELNAME.vvvvvv. When PhysFS enumerates the folder, it only gives us
LEVELNAME.vvvvvv, and not .vvv-mnt-temp-XXXXXX/LEVELNAME.vvvvvv.
- use fseeko and ftello like FreeBSD in tinyxml2
- use current directory as basePath if NULL (OpenBSD doesn't actually support this feature it is disabled via a patch in their ports)
If a level zip is named LEVELNAME.zip, the level file inside it must
also be named LEVELNAME.vvvvvv, else custom assets won't work.
This is because when we mount the zip file, we simply add
LEVELNAME.vvvvvv to the levels directory. Then whenever we load
LEVELNAME.vvvvvv, we look at the filename, remove the extension, and
look for the assets inside the zip of the same name, LEVELNAME.zip.
As a result, if someone were to make a level zip with assets but
mismatch the filename, the assets wouldn't load. Furthermore, if someone
were to add extra levels in the same zip, they wouldn't have any assets
load for them as well, which could be confusing.
To make things crystal-clear to the user, we now filter out any zips
that have incorrect structures like that, and print a message to the
terminal. Unfortunately nothing gets shown for non-terminal users, but
at least doing this and filtering out the zips is less confusing than
letting them through but with the issues mentioned above.
FILESYSTEM_mountAssets() has a big comment describing the magic numbers
needed to grab FILENAME from a string that looks like
"levels/FILENAME.vvvvvv".
Instead of doing that (and having to write a comment every time the
similar happens), I've written a macro (and helper function) instead
that does the same thing, but clearly conveys the intent.
I mean, just look at the diff. Using VVV_between() is much better than
having to read that comment, and the corresponding SDL_strlcpy().
This is so it can be reused without having to copy-paste.
generateBase36() is guaranateed to completely initialize and
null-terminate the buffer that is passed in.
Previously, if the game couldn't set the write dir to the base
directory, or couldn't make the base directory, or couldn't calculate
the base directory, it would probably dereference NULL or read from
uninitialized memory or murder your family or something. But now, I've
eliminated the potential Undefined Behavior from the code dealing with
the base path.
Previously, this function had a bug due to failing to account for array
decay. My solution was to just repeat the MAX_PATH again. But in
hindsight I realize that's bad because it hardcodes it, and introduces
the opportunity for an error where we update the size of the original
path but not the size in the function.
So instead, just pass the size through to the function.
FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory() dereferenced pointers without checking if
they were valid... I don't know of any cases where they could have been
NULL, but better safe than sorry.
So, the codebase was kind of undecided about who is responsible for
initializing the parameters passed to FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory() - is
it the caller? Is it FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory()? Sometimes callers
would initialize one variable but not the other, and it was always a
toss-up whether or not FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory() would end up
initializing everything in the end.
All of this is to say that the game dereferences an uninitialized
pointer if it can't load a sound effect. Which is bad. Now, I could
either fix that single case, or fix every case. Judging by the title of
this commit, you can infer that I decided to fix every case - fixing
every case means not just all cases that currently exist (which, as far
as I know, is only the sound effect one), but all cases that could exist
in the future.
So, FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory() is now guaranteed to initialize its
parameters even if the file fails to be loaded. This is better than
passing the responsibility to the caller anyway, because if the caller
initialized it, then that would be wasted work if the file succeeds
anyway because FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory() will overwrite it, and if
the file fails to load, well that's when the variables get initialized
anyway.
My next commit will involve using goto to jump to the end of a function
to initialize the variables to NULL, but that results in a compiler
error if we have initializations in the middle of the function. We might
as well put all declarations at the top of each block anyway, to help
the move to C, so I'm doing this now.
Since the length variable in the STDIN block now overshadows the length
variable in the outer block, I've renamed the length variable in the
block to stdin_length.
This seems to be a comment left by Ethan that he never got around to. So
I did it for him.
What I've done is made it so FileSystemUtils.cpp knows what a binary
blob is, and moved the binary blob loading code directly to
FileSystemUtils.cpp. To do this, I removed the private access modifier
from binaryBlob - I don't think we'll need it, and anyways when we move
to C we can't use it.
Along the way, I also cleaned up the style of the function a bit - the
null termination offset is no longer hardcoded, and the function no
longer mixes code and declarations together in the same block.
I also noticed that when printing all the filenames at the end, a single
invalid header would stop the whole loop instead of just being skipped
over... this seems to be a bug to me, so I've made it so invalid headers
just get skipped over instead of stopping the whole loop.
In FileSystemUtils.h, I used a forward declaration. In hindsight,
incomplete forward declarations should basically always be done in
header files if possible, otherwise this introduces the possibility of
transitive includes - if a file includes this header and it does a full
include, the file is silently able to use the full header, whereas if
it's a forward declaration, then the moment the file tries to use the
full header it fails, and then it's forced to include the full header
for itself. But uh, that's a code cleanup for later.
It's not really used because CreateDirectory doesn't support setting
chmod values, but it does clarify intent of the argument.

In #52 I fixed VVVVVV not being able to handle filepaths with non-ASCII
characters on Windows. 2f0a0bce4c and
aa5c2d9dc2 reintroduce this problem,
however, by reverting the definition of mkdir to how it was before the
fix and using the non-Unicode version of CreateDirectory. And I can
confirm that VVVVVV indeed doesn't make its folder anymore with a
Windows username of "тест". This commit fixes that issue.
PhysFS requires a write dir to create a directory, so the first PHYSFS_mkdir
never could have worked. Because of that we need to go back to the old mkdir,
and since we're bringing that back we can reuse it for saves/levels, because we
know it works and we don't have to worry about middlewares ruining anything.
This fixes an issue where you would be able to mount things other than
custom assets in per-level custom asset directories and zips.
To be fair, the effects of this issue were fairly limited - about the
only thing I could do with it was to override a user-made quicksave of a
custom level with one of my own. However, since the quicksave check
happens before assets are mounted, if the user didn't have an existing
quicksave then they wouldn't be able load my quicksave. Furthermore,
mounting things like settings.vvv simply doesn't work because assets
only get mounted when the level gets loaded, but the game only reads
from settings.vvv on startup.
Still, this is an issue, and just because it only has one effect doesn't
mean we should single-case patch that one effect only. So what can we
do?
I was thinking that we should (1) mount custom assets in a dedicated
directory, and then from there (2) mount each specific asset directly -
namely, mount the graphics/ and sounds/ folders, and mount the
vvvvvvmusic.vvv and mmmmmm.vvv files. For (1), assets are now mounted at
a (non-existent) location named .vvv-mnt/assets/. However, (2) doesn't
fully work due to how PhysFS works.
What DOES work is being able to mount the graphics/ and sounds/ folders,
but only if the custom assets directory is a directory. And, you
actually have to use the real directory where those graphics/ and
sounds/ folders are located, and not the mounted directory, because
PHYSFS_mount() only accepts real directories. (In which case why bother
mounting the directory in the first place if we have to use real
directories anyway?) So already this seems like having different
directory and zip mounting paths, which I don't want...
I tried to unify the directory and zip paths and get around the real
directory limitation. So for mounting each individual asset (i.e.
graphics/, sounds/, but especially vvvvvvmusic.vvv and mmmmmm.vvv), I
tried doing PHYSFS_openRead() followed by PHYSFS_mountHandle() with that
PHYSFS_File, but this simply doesn't work, because PHYSFS_mountHandle()
will always create a PHYSFS_Io object, and pass it to a PhysFS internal
helper function named openDirectory() which will only attempt to treat
it as a directory if the PHYSFS_Io* passed is NULL. Since
PHYSFS_mountHandle() always passes a non-NULL PHYSFS_Io*,
openDirectory() will always treat it like a zip file and never as a
directory - in contrast, PHYSFS_mount() will always pass a NULL
PHYSFS_Io* to openDirectory(), so PHYSFS_mount() is the only function
that works for mounting directories.
(And even if this did work, having to keep the file open (because of the
PHYSFS_openRead()) results in the user being unable to touch the file on
Windows until it gets closed, which I also don't want.)
As for zip files, PHYSFS_mount() works just fine on them, but then we
run into the issue of accessing the individual assets inside it. As
covered above, PHYSFS_mount() only accepts real directories, so we can't
use it to access the assets inside, but then if we do the
PHYSFS_openRead() and PHYSFS_mountHandle() approach,
PHYSFS_mountHandle() will treat the assets inside as zip files instead
of just mounting them normally!
So in short, PhysFS only seems to be able to mount directories and zip
files, and not any loose individual files (like vvvvvvmusic.vvv and
mmmmmm.vvv). Furthermore, directories inside directories works, but
directories inside zip files doesn't (only zip files inside zip files
work).
It seems like our asset paths don't really work well with PhysFS's
design. Currently, graphics/, sounds/, vvvvvvmusic.vvv, and mmmmmm.vvv
all live at the root directory of the VVVVVV folder. But what would work
better is if all of those items were organized into a subfolder, for
example, a folder named assets/. So the previous assets mounting system
before this patch would just have mounted assets/ and be done with it,
and there would be no risk of mounting extraneous files that could do
bad things. However, due to our unorganized asset paths, the previous
system has to mount assets at the root of the VVVVVV folder, which
invites the possibility of those extraneous bad files being mounted.
Well, we can't change the asset paths now, that would be a pretty big
API break (maybe it should be a 2.4 thing). So what can we do?
What I've done is, after mounting the assets at .vvv-mnt/assets/, when
the game loads an asset, it checks if there's an override available
inside .vvv-mnt/assets/, and if so, the game will load that asset
instead of the regular one. This is basically reimplementing what PhysFS
SHOULD be able to do for us, but can't. This fixes the issue of being
able to mount a quicksave for a custom level inside its asset directory.
I should also note, the unorganized asset paths issue also means that
for .zip files (which contain the level file), the level file itself is
also technically mounted at .vvv-mnt/assets/. This is harmless (because
when we load a level file, we never load it as an asset) but it's still
a bit ugly. Changing the asset paths now seems more and more like a good
thing to do...
This will clarify which directory, exactly, failed to mount. I know it
gets printed earlier in the mounting process, but it can't hurt to print
it twice, just to be sure. Also this is for consistency.
PHYSFS_getDirSeparator() already gets called and stored in pathSep at
the top of FILESYSTEM_init(). So clearly, two people worked on this
function and forgot that both pieces of code existed at the same time
(or it was one person independently forgetting both).
PhysFS uses platform-independent notation, so we really don't need to
care about getting the correct dir separator here. Especially since we
don't ever do so anywhere else (e.g. load/saveTiXml2Document()), either.
This is to make it clear that this is not a general-purpose mounting
function; it is a helper function for FILESYSTEM_mountAssets()
specifically for treating a directory or file as an assets directory,
and mounting assets from there.
There's no reason to handle mounting .zip files differently than
mounting a directory... we already mount .data.zip files using
FILESYSTEM_mount(), so why go through the trouble of opening a .zip
manually (which means on Windows the .zip can't be touched for the
duration of playing the custom level), making up a place to mount it at,
and then mount that made-up name, instead of just using
FILESYSTEM_mount()?
Whoever cobbled this asset mounting thing together really didn't fully
understand what they were doing.
This way, we avoid the unnecessary graphics.reloadresources() call - if
we can't mount assets, why bother reloading resources?
The return type of FILESYSTEM_mount() has been changed from void to bool
to indicate success, accomodating its callers accordingly.
Ethan, you forgot this other one.
I do have to rejiggle the control flow of the function a bit, so it
doesn't leak memory upon failure. (Although the SDL message box leaks
memory anyway because of X11 so... whatever.) Also, there's a NULL check
for if SDL_GetBasePath() fails now.
So, 2.3 added recoloring one-way tiles to no longer make them be always
yellow. However, custom levels that retexture the one-way tiles might
not want them to be recolored. So, if there are ANY custom assets
mounted, then the one-ways will not be recolored. However, if the XML
has a <onewaycol_override>1</onewaycol_override> tag, then the one-way
will be recolored again anyways.
When I added one-way recoloring, I didn't intend for any custom asset to
disable the recoloring; I only did it because I couldn't find a way to
check if a specific file was customized by the custom level or not.
However, I have figured out how to do so, and so now tiles.png one-way
recolors will only be disabled if there's a custom tiles.png, and
tiles2.png one-way recolors will only be disabled if there's a custom
tiles2.png.
In order to make sure we're not calling PhysFS functions on every single
deltaframe, I've added caching variables, tiles1_mounted and
tiles2_mounted, to Graphics; these get assigned every time
reloadresources() is called.
This function will check if a specific file is a mounted per-level
custom asset, instead of being a variable that's true if ANY file is a
mounted asset.
It's only used in FileSystemUtils and never anywhere else, especially
not Graphics. Why is this on Graphics again?
It's now a static variable inside FileSystemUtils. It has also been
renamed to assetDir for consistency with saveDir and levelDir. Also,
it's a C string now, and is no longer an STL string.
This returns if the file given is mounted or not. 2.3 added level zip
support, so whenever the game loads level metadata, it will mount any
zip files in the levels directory; this function can be used to check if
any of those files have been mounted, and ignore them if so.
