Bugs?

Post by LordMatt »

There are a couple of behaviors of spring that may or may not be Linux specific bugs:
1) It seems spring does not prioritize ~/.spring/AI when loading either global AIs or helper bots. This means that even if I set the paths to SVN version compiled AIs to be read from ~./spring/AI, it will preferentially load older versions from /usr/local/lib/spring/AI, which will then fail to work.

2) Spring does not seem to ever create an infolog.txt when launched from a lobby (TASClient on wine), but creates one when launched from the commandline.

Both of these behaviors are annoying. :P

this happends also for LuaUI/Widgets under linux, and yes it's highly annoying since i customized some of the scripts and I have to move away the installed ones in order to be able to use them

Well apparently 2) was because my working directory wasn't what I thought it was. With 1), I seem to have been able to get around the problem with symbolic links for LuaUI, however it may be that you were modifying core files? In any case, it make it impossible to use AIs in testing without dropping to root to change things.
