Summary0002894: .txt files in wrong format or missing extension
Descriptionseveral .txt files are in "funny formating" so that windows notepad displays line breaks as [] character: CHANGELOG.txt, ctrlpanel.txt, cmdcolors.txt
Similiar some text files have no extension: NEWS, COPYING, THANKS
(Those files should maybe be in \lobby\SpringLobby so it is clear what they relate to. Or give them a name like README-SDL.txt)
TagsNo tags attached.
Checked infolog.txt for Errors

can't say how to fix that, its more a springlobby "bug" ...

fixing that would be just to add a hack to a hack:


https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/develop/installer/sections/springlobby.nsh


the installer for the springengine works like this:
it just extracts http://www.springlobby.info/windows/latest.zip to the installation dir.


springlobby guys have to fix that...

they have to move the txt files to a subfolder + convert them to windows when doing a win32 compile.

note:

for
ctrlpanel.txt
cmdcolors.txt

use a editor that supports \n line endings. wordpad or the command line editor (afaik edit.exe) does for example...

pretty sure some of the files are from the engine:
https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/develop/FAQ
etc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline#Common_problems

added a screenshot for what i mean.
(I know how to open those files correctly but some players maybe not)

FAQ isn't from the engine.


see the -- Installing: lines:
http://buildbot.springrts.com/builders/full-windows/builds/2412/steps/create%20installer/logs/stdio

only files that are from the engine i see are:
-- Installing: /tmp/spring/inst/usr/local/./cmdcolors.txt
-- Installing: /tmp/spring/inst/usr/local/./ctrlpanel.txt
-- Installing: /tmp/spring/inst/usr/local/./selectkeys.txt
-- Installing: /tmp/spring/inst/usr/local/./uikeys.txt
-- Installing: /tmp/spring/inst/usr/local/./README-SDL.txt

but these are imo not meant for end-user editing / viewing.

end-user files are in doc/ and are in html-format.


is something left i missed?

i guess the changelog.txt is from some old installation...

no, it isn't but its deprecated, i removed the file from the screenshot: https://github.com/spring/spring/commit/0bb456dd25d61ee655468e88af495830df65f69d

so... still something left i missed?

the files left are not meant for end-user editing or are from springlobby.

use notepad++ if you want to edit yourself or use springsettings or anoy the springlobby guys to put their readme in a subfolder or anoy them to make their own installer (my prefered solution ;-)
