The filename normalizing script is here. Instead of adding extra code to ModKeen, I decided to write a separate UNIX shell script file.

If you need to download it, save the following link to a file:

Code:

LModKeen II beta4 preannouncement

Post by Shadow Master »

Yes, the 4th beta of LModKeen II is coming. New features:

- Builds for Windows using the Mingw32 cross-compiler for Linux -- a Win32 exe (ready-to-use) will be included with the final package. And yes, this has been tested. Outputs some extra garbage to console, but Keen data handling is OK.
- Adds Bio Menace support (in progress).
- More code optimizations.
- Will add Dangerous Dave support as soon as Levellass remembers my request.
- The makefiles for Linux and Mingw32 will work ON ANY SYSTEM with no modifications (warning: the mingw32 makefile will require slight modifications).
- Enhances miscellaenous stuff.

That's all. I'm sure you guys will be happy with the feature noted above in bold font. No more WindowsUpdate Syndrome with ModKeen, you'll be able to run it natively from Windows as you did with z-1 Win32 port of ModKeen 1. Remember, the difference between his and my port is simple: mine is port of ModKeen 2.0.1. :)

Levellass also mentioned something about Shadow Knights support. Could she help me? >:) And if somebody knows if Dangerous Dave 3 uses the Keen engine code, please tell me. Its files are named in a similar way to Keen4's files.

And yes, this version will include a free (as in "free beer") toaster. A windows9x-nuclear-bomb assembling pack is avaiable under request too.

I decided to use the beta-3 source code for a definitive LModKeen II release, with bugfixes and the Win32 and Linux makefiles I made recently. I only have one bug to fix for the release, and it's about the Win32 console output. For example:

Code: Select all

Importing bitmaps: 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0%...
That's the strange output of the Windows build. I think I introduced a bug or two in the Win32 console code while reusing existing code (Meta engine v0.1.1 source code, copyright (c) 2006-2007 by myself). It should be easy to fix, but for the mean time, this project needs a new name.

I named it "LModkeen" because of "Linux", but now it is also the second unofficial Win32 ModKeen. I need "ideas" for the L.

Ah, Bio-Menace, Shadow Knights, Dangerous Dave 2 and Keen Dreams support won't be in this release, wait for LModKeen 3.0.

EDIT: I should've said two bugs. The other one is on the filename normalizer script. I didn't include a line for renaming one of the EGAsomething.CKx files on Keen 1-3.

EDIT2: Levellass, know that I shall fill your email inbox with spam messages until you help me with DD2 and SK support!!

I wrote down the production name for this application in my copybook. I didn't bring it today though.

Well. I have only one, ONE bug to solve before releasing LModKeen II. And it is about Win32 console support (I think I mentioned it before). I don't have enough time and I can't find the cause of this problem.

Any volunteers with Mingw32 to write a better Makefile based in the current one (which is for Mingw32's Linux cross-compiler) and find and fix the bug that causes me this horrendous headache? Please. :) If anyone wants to help me with this, post here and I'll reply with the link to the lmodkeen2-rc1 zip file for you to download.

I'm more enthusiastic currently about LModKeen 3, with the improved Keen Dreams, new Bio Menace, Dangerous Dave and Shadow Knights support, plus it will be C++ based in order to re-modularize old stuff.

Filename case

Post by Malvineous »

Just saw your post about fixing the case of filenames. I have this problem fairly often so I thought you might be interested in a more generic script I came up with. Save the code in a file called "namelower", make it executable and put it in the path and then you can do stuff like this:

$ cd keen1
$ namelower *

And it will make each filename in the directory lowercase. The script is here:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
  echo "namelower - rename a given file so that its filename contains only"
  echo "            lowercase characters."
  echo ""
  echo "Usage: namelower file1 [file2...]"
  echo ""
fi

while [ "$1" != "" ]; do
  FILENAME=$1
  LOWERFILE=`strlower "${FILENAME}"`
  if [ "$FILENAME" != "$LOWERFILE" ]; then
    # File is not already lowercase
    if [ -a "$LOWERFILE" ]; then
      echo "namelower: skipping ${FILENAME}, lowercase file already exists." > /dev/stderr
    else
      mv "$FILENAME" "$LOWERFILE"
    fi
  fi
  shift
done
and it uses a command called "strlower" which needs to be compiled separately because I couldn't find an existing utility that did it (and it was far too slow doing the case conversion in the shell script.)

Code: Select all

#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>

char *strlower(char *str)
{
  char *str1 = str;
  while (*str != 0)
    *str++ = tolower(*str);
  return str1;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  if (argc >= 2)
    printf("%s\n", strlower(argv[1]));
  return 0;
}
Compile it with something like "gcc -o strlower strlower.c && strip strlower" Make sure you put it in your path too (/usr/local/bin is a good place for both) and it should be ready to go.

Perhaps I should hack it so that it converts lower to upper. I need upper, not lowercase names :p

When I decided to convert all names in ModKeen's code to uppercase, I was thinking about something I read/heard about sometime ago. Old DOS systems store 8.3 *uppercase* filenames in the File Allocation Table. I'm not sure, but I think I saw proof of it by viewing an IMA file with a hex editor.

You're more than welcome to change it as you see fit, but when was the last time you saw uppercase names on a Linux filesystem??? Sure, FAT filesystems store names in uppercase, but the Linux FAT driver converts them to lowercase anyway...

I'll fix that strange decission in the LModKeen 2.5 release. I'll also include a proper filename normalizer in the enxt release.

I release now LModKeen 2:
- Source code & binaries: http://shadowm2006.sitesled.com/src/lmo ... l1.tar.bz2
- Windows binary: http://shadowm2006.sitesled.com/lmodkee ... -win32.zip

This version is now the first Windows port of ModKeen 2.0.1. Includes integrated (automatically used) FIN2BMP functionality. This is also the second Linux port of ModKeen.2.0.1.

Have fun!

EDIT: if you hesitate to download it because of the supposedly unresolvable bug I mentioned above, well, I inform you that I resolved it after 4 hours of research and tests with Windows 98 and Wine. :P

HOWEVER, I still need volunteers for writing a Win32 native Mingw32 makefile, and the MacOS X port if someone's interested in it (it should require a new makefile, nothing more, or ncurses doesn't run on Mac OS X?).

I wouldn't mind helping out with the OS X port, since I've already managed to compile LModKeen 1 and 2 on my Mac. The makefile will need a complete rewrite, though - is it being generated by Eclipse at the moment? It won't work for me, so I just run gcc manually.

It's generated by Eclipse, yes, although I replaced some parts so that it's not dependent on my own computer.

It builds fine on a Linux machine that doesn't have Eclipse installed, so I'm 100% sure that the provided makefile is ok.

EDIT: Ah, mac! Disregard the text abovev.

Well, this project's (LModKeen) still maintained by me, however, there are bad news: it's name is no longer LModKeen.

Why? Because I initially named it LModKeen after "Linux's ModKeen". However, some people convinced me to port it to the Windows platform later, and the result (Lmodkeen 2) is not only a Linux port, but also a Windows port. So it's name should've been "LWModKeen" (Linux+Windows ModKeen) or something like that. Plus the enhancements and stuff that are coming with the versions 2.2 and 3.0, I decided to change its name to "EModKeen", the "Enhanced ModKeen".

So, this is another pre-announcement, but it's for EModKeen versions 2.1 and 2.9. The deadline should be around December of this year; now that the community has a stable Windows Modkeen 2.0.1 (Lmk 2, my little present for you all), and it's gaining some users, it's time to modernize the existing utilities, and with utilities I mean ModKeen 2.0.1, TEDSetup, Fin2BMP. All of them have been exhaustively tested, used and perhaps even abused, so it's time to integrate all of them into a single tool... EModKeen.

Starting from now, the version numbering system will be the same as most open-source software, thus 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 and so on, are for stable (final-user) releases. 2.1, 2.3, 2.5, etc., stand for unstable releases that should not be used by final users. By "final users" I mean all those who actually want to create a mod. The unstable releases are just for me, the testers and those who want to study other mods, etc.

EModKeen 2.1.x are the alpha and beta versions for EModKeen 2.2, while 2.9.x are the alpha and betas for EModKeen 3.

What's coming soon in EModKeen 2.2 then?

- Will use only lowercase filenames (sorry Linux LModKeen users... if any; you'll have to rename your stuff with a provided script).
- TED Setup integrated for semi-transparent import/export operations on Keen: Galaxy mods. Semi- because I might add a new command line parameter in order to avoid confusion, such as --prepmaps.
- Separate carmackization.
- Keen Dreams support is really, really supposed to be finished for this one.
- Audio.ckx -> audiohed.ckx + audiot.ckx operation might be added, but I can't promise anything about it. (At least I already know where the audiodct.ckx contents are stored in the exe.)

And in EModKeen 3:

- Everything noted above.
- Bio Menace and Dangerous Dave 2 support.
- Everything ported to C++ for extensibility, portability, usability, etc.

Any comments, suggestions and spam for pressing me to do all this before December, go to shadowm 2006 at gm@il d0tz c0mz.
