hello guys i have a problem. i cant save file on appdata/roaming/teeworlds/...

10:49

Has the location of the file changed?

Ddnet

10:50

Instead of teeworlds

ah i find thank you

any idea why all my folders and assets appear twice? (every category)

15:05

Did u change storage. Cfg?

i dont believe so, a while ago i symlinked %appdata%\teeworlds to D:\Teeworlds to put it on a new drive, but this bug only started a few days ago

Nightly?

im on stable rn

Mh k

15:13

I guess the only way to reproduce it for a windows dev is doing the exact same

15:13

There was a new release yesterday

15:13

@Robyt3 do u know anything related

happens on nightly as well (now that you reminded me to switch back to it ^^)

What does your storage.cfg look like?

in which directory?

bencie

in which directory?

Next to the client exe

15:17

Are any of the asset files really duplicate or is this somehow showing the same storage location multiple times?

add_path $USERDIR
add_path $DATADIR
add_path $CURRENTDIR

Robyt3

Are any of the asset files really duplicate or is this somehow showing the same storage location multiple times?

selecting one also selects the other, same for the demos, its just 1 png in my assets directory that displays twice ingame

bencie

add_path $USERDIR
add_path $DATADIR
add_path $CURRENTDIR

on startup, console output:

2023-04-03 17:13:10 I storage: added path '$USERDIR' ('C:\Users\PCNAME\AppData\Roaming/Teeworlds')
2023-04-03 17:13:10 I storage: added path '$DATADIR' ('C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\DDraceNetwork\ddnet/data')
2023-04-03 17:13:10 I storage: added path '$CURRENTDIR' ('D:\Teeworlds')

(edited)

That's weird. And this happens every time?

yeah

15:20

Do you still have any symlinks for teeworlds/ddnet?

yeah

15:22

%appdata%\Teeworlds -> D:\Teeworlds (edited)

I don't think we changed anything about this recently though

15:22

Hm, so your config data is in D:\Teeworlds?

CURRENTDIR should be the steam one, no? Where the client exe resides. (edited)

Then this location is in there twice

Robyt3

Hm, so your config data is in D:\Teeworlds?

yeah

murpi

CURRENTDIR should be the steam one, no? Where the client exe resides. (edited)

Yeah, it should be the folder where the DDNet.exe is

15:23

Did you somehow change the launch options in Steam?

its empty

15:24

Where is DDNet.exe? Is it in the Steam folder?

yes, at C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\DDraceNetwork\ddnet\

15:25

i only symlinked config directory so that all the demos dont fill up my C drive

Doesn't make sense that $CURRENTDIR (the current working directory) is resolved to D:\Teeworlds

15:26

This should be resolved to C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\DDraceNetwork\ddnet\

15:27

If you want to solve the issue, then just remove or comment out the line add_path $CURRENTDIR in your storage.cfg

Does he maybe have another storage.cfg in the $USERDIR which overwrites the one in $CURRENTDIR?

Not sure if we can detect in the storage implementation that two paths are identical when they have different names

murpi

Does he maybe have another storage.cfg in the $USERDIR which overwrites the one in $CURRENTDIR?

my $USERDIR should be C:\Users\PCNAME\AppData\Roaming/Teeworlds which i symlinked to D:\Teeworlds (edited)

15:28

and that directory doesnt have storage.cfg

Then update the storage.cfg that you do have

15:29

I don't think you can put storage.cfg in your user dir, it's only loaded from the current folder and from any folder specified on the command line

15:34

You could also change your storage.cfg to

add_path "D:\Teeworlds"
add_path $DATADIR

and remove the symlink.

Robyt3

If you want to solve the issue, then just remove or comment out the line add_path $CURRENTDIR in your storage.cfg

this fixed it

15:36

thank you! :D

15:39

makes alot of sense now, i did have my config directory added to path twice

mh weird bug tho

15:50

i wonder why the client assumes it wrong

this is kinda offtopic question, but do you know how i can remove the symlink while also keeping my config directory on the D drive as it is now? ^^

bencie

this is kinda offtopic question, but do you know how i can remove the symlink while also keeping my config directory on the D drive as it is now? ^^

See my reply above

without modifying storage.cfg?

Robyt3

You could also change your storage.cfg to

add_path "D:\Teeworlds"
add_path $DATADIR

and remove the symlink.

This

yea but i assume if i remove the symlink then itll put my config directory back to %appdata%\Teeworlds, on the C drive that i might not have enough space on, so i guess i can just make a backup and place it on my D drive? (edited)

what robyte suggests is using d

15:56

anyway, i'd say its a bug in the client anyway

You can change storage.cfg so it uses D:\Teeworlds first and then the Steam data dir. That completely removes the AppData folder. (edited)

15:57

A bug in the client is that files from multiple storages are shown duplicated, but that's hard to solve correctly everywhere

bencie

on startup, console output:

2023-04-03 17:13:10 I storage: added path '$USERDIR' ('C:\Users\PCNAME\AppData\Roaming/Teeworlds')
2023-04-03 17:13:10 I storage: added path '$DATADIR' ('C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\DDraceNetwork\ddnet/data')
2023-04-03 17:13:10 I storage: added path '$CURRENTDIR' ('D:\Teeworlds')

(edited)

but this looks wrong

Yeah, but I don't know if that's a bug in the client

15:58

We just directly call the Windows API, so it returns the wrong path

mh weird af, but maybe we simply handle symbolic links incorrectly somehow? (edited)

15:59

from what bencie said, it sounds correct

@bencie Can you add back add_path $CURRENTDIR and then start DDNet by double-clicking the DDNet.exe and not from Steam for testing?

Robyt3

@bencie Can you add back add_path $CURRENTDIR and then start DDNet by double-clicking the DDNet.exe and not from Steam for testing?

thats how i did it previously as well

15:59

but sure

16:00

i can also try steam's play button if that changes anything

@bencie Have you added DDNet to the PATH variable for some reason? If you press Win+R, type ddnet and press enter, does it launch DDNet? Or does it shown an error? (edited)

error

Weird. No idea how the current working directory is changed when you start the game.

16:02

Do you use a desktop shortcut?

16:03

If you use a desktop shortcut that Steam created this should not be possible

actually, i just noticed something that does change whether it shows as double or correctly, running ddnet.exe works with $CURRENTDIR added, but i use a custom batch script to start ddnet with start /wait C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\DDraceNetwork\ddnet\DDNet.exe, it didnt know that changed something (edited)

I guess the batch script is located in D:\Teeworlds\? (edited)

yeah (edited)

Well, so that changes the local directory to the location of the batch script

my bad then

But you can probably pass an argument to the start command to change the working directory to the steam game folder

sorry for the confusion, had no idea that affected it

16:06

and thanks for the help

i also have this, i believe it is because the folders exist in multiple location found in storage.cfg

what is the default password for local server?

If you dont enter one, a password will be generated and shown in the terminal where you started the server

But if I starting server in DDRace main menu?

TerrifficSprite

But if I starting server in DDRace main menu?

generated by default afair

TerrifficSprite

But if I starting server in DDRace main menu?

If you started the server from the main menu, a new window should appear where the server logs are being shown. The password is in there. That should be a black window with white letters

how can i get the latest version of ddnet? Im using the non steam client and the last 2 updates were just failing for me and i wanna know if theres any way i can make it work
