  • mutil PackFileBases does not flag files as offline?

    From Björn Wiberg@2:201/137 to g00r00 on Saturday, January 22, 2022 11:22:27
    Hello g00r00!

    Now running the latest published A48 prealpha here. :)

    I noticed that when I removed a file (MyGUI v1.0.2.26.zip) from disk and ran ./mutil -run PackFileBases afterwards, mutil did not flag the missing file as offline, but merely as having a 0-byte file size.

    The file listing shows:

    01 MyGUI v1.0.2.26.zip 0B 01/09/22

    ...and mutil.ini contains:

    [PackFileBases]

    ; If true, MUTIL will check to make sure files exist, and will update their
    ; file size in the listing, optionally removing missing files (remove_missing)

    check_files = true

    ; If true, MUTIL will remove any files which do not exist from the file
    ; list database while checking integrity. Otherwise they will be flagged as
    ; OFFLINE in the file listing. 0 byte files are considered "missing"

    remove_missing = false

    Do you know what could be causing this?

    I have double-checked that the old file is not present on disk any longer:

    bbs@glimmer:~$ find /mnt/bbs/files/fsxnet/FSX_MUTL/ -iname 'MyGUI*' /mnt/bbs/files/fsxnet/FSX_MUTL/MyGUI137.zip

    (That is a newer, different file.)

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards

    This is a bug that should be fixed in the next A48 build. :)
