[Rails-devel] Next player variable

[Chris S. <chr...@gm...>]

We have this in My.Properties

save.filename.suffix=NEXT_PLAYER

but it doesn't append a player name to the save file.  Any suggestions?

Hmm, it works for me...
But it may not work if you previously have saved a file *not* accepting the
file name proposed by Rails.
In that case Rails just keeps the name you have provided for any further
save actions.
 
Could that explain it?

No, I don't think so.  It is correctly appending the time stamp to the file
names.

Re: [Rails-devel] Next player variable

[Chris S. <chr...@gm...>]

I just tried it again - a fresh install of rails-1.1.2, a new game of 1830
with players Tom, Dick, Harry.  I edited the fresh copy of my.properties to
remove the # before the line save.filename.suffix=NEXT_PLAYER.  Here is the
file name that was offered on saving after Tom made the first bid.

1830_20100119_2233.rails

I was hoping to see this filename instead:

1830_20100119_2233_Dick.rails

Re: [Rails-devel] Next player variable

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

Are you sure that the properties files has actually been read? No errors in
the startup window?
 
When I run version 1.1.2 as follows :
    java -Dconfigfile=C:/Projects/Rails/18xx/my_my.properties -jar
rails-1.1.2.jar %1
I'm getting what you see, because the properties file is not found. 
The fix in this case is to leave out the C:.

Erik.

[Chris S. <chr...@gm...>]

hmmm.. I wasn't aware that you needed to flag -Dconfigfile.  Maybe that's
the problem. :-)

Perhaps a comment could be included at the start of the My.Properties file
indicating that it is only read if a command line flag is set?

Re: [Rails-devel] Next player variable

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

If you don't add -Dconfigfile, Rails will look for my.properties, but I
think 
it will then first find the default version in the jar, which has only a few
settings.
 
Yes, I will add a comment to the next version of my.properties.

Erik.

Quick question - is there any way to make that -Dconfigfile relative
to the current directory?
