i recently noticed that Servers like NL Simba or DCC CTF download a nxmdls-dave-elf-spy-vixen-robot-soldier-v2.pk3.

the problem is that, for me at least, it goes downloading that file each time a map changes or reloades.

also, it sometimes leads to a black map (no textures?), and there are still diamond rainbow entities to be found.
so i guess Nexuiz cant load from that particular PK3.

deleting the file(s), or cleaning and reinstalling the SVN Build didnt help, as well as renaming the data folder.

so i come to believe that the path name might be too long.

it is 129 chars for the whole path to the pk3.
(C:\Documents and Settings\.............\My Documents\My Games\nexuiz\data\dlcache\nxmdls-dave-elf-spy-vixen-robot-soldier-v2.pk3)

is there a path length limit in Nexuiz of, say, 128 chars?


(Win XP, latest SVN build)

Indeed there is one (MAX_QPATH) of 128, and I am not sure what negative side effects one would get from increasing it.

However, I have no idea why the limit applies to THIS too... I changed the limits inside the downloading system to MAX_OSPATH (1024).

i moved that particuar file up a level from data\dlcache to data, which seems to fix the issue.

(still the bug remains..)
