#9754: The "auto-detect" switch no-longer works properly
--------------------+-----------------------
Reporter: Enverex | Owner: (none)
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: --Unset--
Keywords: | Game:
--------------------+-----------------------
This used to work by telling you the detected game in the folder (this
functionality appears to have been moved to "--detect" instead). It's now
changed and instead it tries to launch the game automatically using the
detected engine. That would be fine, but it appears to pass along the
wrong information to ScummVM and it breaks. Here are a few examples...
{{{
scummvm --auto-detect ID Description
--------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
monkey2 Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (FM-TOWNS/English)
WARNING: SDL mixer output buffer size: 2048 differs from desired: 4096!
User picked target 'monkey2-fm' (gameid 'monkey2-fm')...
Looking for a plugin supporting this gameid... failed
WARNING: monkey2-fm is an invalid gameid. Use the --list-games option to
list supported gameid!
}}}
You'd expect it to pass along monkey2, but instead it's passing along
monkey2-fm which isn't valid and it fails to start. Seems to happen with
any game...
{{{
scummvm --auto-detect
ID Description
--------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
sci Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers (CD/DOS/English)
sci Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
(CD/Windows/English)
WARNING: SDL mixer output buffer size: 2048 differs from desired: 4096!
User picked target 'gk1-cd' (gameid 'gk1-cd')...
Looking for a plugin supporting this gameid... failed
WARNING: gk1-cd is an invalid gameid. Use the --list-games option to list
supported gameid!
}}}
Again, it's expecting "sci" but instead is passed "gk1-cd" so nothing
happens (the GUI shows a "Could not find any engine capable of running the
selected game" as expected).
