I want your mods!
 

Or at least I like to try them out from time to time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Unfortunately I can't use them if you use capitals in the dm file and not in the tga's and vice versa. My linux is case sensitive and the game crashes when I try to use some mods.

I was about to try the Avernum mod, but ran into problems.

Edit: Seems it was only the Avernum Guard and the Avernum Archer that had the problem.

Others might have the same problem.

Tharoon Servant spear is not capitalized in the tga.

Hah, I have told Sombre about the case thing some days ago, too, and he said that he'll now pay greater attention to it.

You'll be able to download 8 of the mod nation in one big package in a couple of days, when I have prepared them for that mod nation game that I plan to host.

I should be able to come up with a quicky line that you can do to fix that. Some SED or TR command to convert them all to lower case.

Just tried Insectiods. It worked fine. Quite interesting mod with the one way shapeshifting breeding machines. It took me a while to realize that I had a mictlanish sacrifice dependent dominion.

I imagine the swarm queens are rather powerful. 3 monthly flying freespawns with fear and 19 def seems quite a bargain.

Choke-points are definitely that mods friends. Dominion 10 at a chokepoint with a few spawners and you have an army per turn. To fight against you the enemy HAS to fight your dominion or its all over.

Re: I want your mods!
 

The capital letter issue is quite a recurring issue. I just always make sure to run dominions via a terminal window the first time I use a new mod. Then when it crashes it tells you which file caused the problem. So I rename that file and try again, till it works. It generally takes two or three attempts with each new mod.

Gandalf's idea is a good one, it should be possible to fix automatically.

ls */*.tga */*.rgb | awk '{print "mv " $1 " " tolower($1);}' | csh
# If you get a bunch of "file does not exist" messages, make the directories.

awk '{fout = ARGV[ARGIND] "_fixed";} {pmode = 1;} /\.rgb/ || /\.tga/{print tolower($0) > fout; pmode = 0;} (pmode == 1){print $0 > fout;}' *.dm

ls *_fixed | awk '{print "mv " $1 " " substr($1,1,length($1)-6);}' | csh

# Try that.

# Er.... back up your mods directory first.

I'm currently in the process of making sure my mods are linux friendly. All releases from this point onwards will have no case issues.

In fact this week/end I will hopefully rerelease all of them fixed for linux.

Ulm Reborn will also get a couple more pretender choices and I'll do some CBM version work. Sylvania and Avernum maybe.

So don't allow capitals in file-names in a dm. You have the power! The power of Greyskull.
