Hi guys, maybe someone can spare a little bit of their time.
I'm trying to access a samba mount and use that as a repository for saved games from ScummVM.
In parallel i'm helping with the further development of my platforms samba installment.
I'm as far as being able to load and save games to the share, but not to create new states.
In short:
- If i try to save anything to a completely blank share, ScummVM will crash on trying to create the "timestamps" file (if i manually copy the file over first, it works fine, until)
- i try to create a NEW save state which isn't there, ScummVM will crash again on trying to create it.
So, my question would be, if someone could please tell me
- in what way ScummVM is "creating" a (yet missing) save state/timestamp
- where in the code this happens and
- why it is crashing on failing to do so instead of giving me an error/warning
I know it might be probably solved through our samba development, but i'd still be happy to get an error/warning instead of a crash
It's not the timestamps file per se, but all files that need to be "created".
As i wrote if i copy the timestamps over it works until a new save state for any game has to be created.
Any pointers to the part of code that "creates" i.e. a save state from a newly installed game?
