Folder names cannot contain the character '·'

Post by Serisium »

If a folder contains that character, then HLDJ will error out when trying to navigate to the folder containing it.

Thanks, it's actually the game that errors out as HLDJ should work with any characters your OS supports. If you post the exact ASCII code of this character I can try to implement a work around.

Try this build and see if it works for you:
hldj.zip
(155.67 KiB) Downloaded 2104 times
(unzip and replace your hldj.exe)

Still doesn't work. Here's a part of the error message:



Current: (none) Next: (none)
Directory: C:\Users\Garrett\Documents\HLDJ\Audio\TEST
1. .\ 2. ..\
3.
Unknown command "\"
Unknown command "..."
Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/hldj_cmd_r.cfg
done.

It cycles through that error, with a different letter in the hldj_cmd_r.cfg. 3 is a folder with the name "·".

Hmm, can you test it with a single file by placing just that character in the file name. You should see it replaced with the '.' instead. I.e. in a folder that normally displays fine, place a file "test.wav" and copy-paste the listaudio output. Then change the filename to "te·st.wav" and paste that output.

Without the character:

Code: Select all

Loading Directory : TEST ... 
Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/hldj_cmd_e.cfg
done. 
Current: (none)       Next: test 
Directory: C:\Users\Garrett\Documents\HLDJ\Audio\TEST 
  1. .\            2. ..\          
  3. New folder\   4. test      
With the character:

Code: Select all

Loading Directory : TEST ... 
Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/hldj_cmd_g.cfg
done. 
Current: (none)       Next: te 
Unknown command "st"
Directory: C:\Users\Garrett\Documents\HLDJ\Audio\TEST 
  1. .\            2. ..\          
  3. New folder\   4. te 
Unknown command "st"

Okay try this:
hldj.zip
(156.11 KiB) Downloaded 1970 times
it should at least filter out the char from the listaudio display

Here is the new output:

Code: Select all

] 145
Loading Directory : TEST ... 
Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/hldj_cmd_d.cfg
done. 
Current: (none)       Next: te 
Unknown command "st"
Directory: C:\Users\Garrett\Documents\HLDJ\Audio\TEST 
  1. .\            2. ..\          
  3. New folder\   4. te 
Unknown command "st"
Unknown command "st"
Just so you know, this problem can be easily fixed by removing the character from the file/folder name. It annoyed me for a while, but then I found the problem and it no longer bothers me.

blast I forgot to change the correct line again. Yeah, it's not a biggie, I'll just include it with next update so that every char out of ASCII range is replaced with a '_'
