[CRITICAL] File::items() - wrong file size

[tlosm]

when i try to run it i have this ...
log attached
fallen.txt

[isage]

You probably running it from build dir. You should run it from root project directory (one with data folder in it)

[tlosm]

hi isage ,
make it run from /.local/share/falltergeist too but i have the same error

[isage]

Oh, wait, this actually happens when you have corrupted .dat file.
What version are you using? Can you provide md5sum of master.dat and critter.dat?

[tlosm]

i have the same issue freom gog and old osx version.
from gog version
this is the critter.dat 9b16e92ac88d168e81126b72e6f9ab3c
master.dat 5acf4f9a8bb017af0f7b35c7f920a48b

[tlosm]

this is the osx version
critter.dat 5eca6b64c02894cd80e67a5a38af9fa6
master.dat b1d16ac9345694aaf28426ee2b5cb304
on osx version there is a patch000.dat too ask if you need

[isage]

Well, GOG version looks fine.
I don't know then, can't reproduce.
What platform/hardware this on?

[tlosm]

Big Endian, freescale P5020 e5500
os ubuntu mate 16.10

[isage]

Oh, yep, that may be a problem. We've never actually tested it on big-endian, because we don't have hardware

[tlosm]

isage, you can use qemu-system-ppc it will be fast like an g3 700 mhz but good for testing purpose

[tlosm]

or another way can be disable the crc control on big endian

[isage]

Well, i've spent all weekend trying to install and boot ubuntu in qemu-system-ppc, but to no avail.
Even if i did succeeded, i'm pretty sure i won't be able to launch falltergeist there due to graphics hardware requirements.
I'll leave this bug open, so maybe someone will try and fix it.
(also, it's not about crc-control. all fallout files are little-endian, so when reading int16 or int32 from it data needs to be reversed. There's already code for that it Dat/Item.cpp, and it needs to be implemented for Dat/File too, and maybe some other places)

[tlosm]

Hi Isage,
thanks for checking . Probably big endian will need an extra patched fallout2.dat that i have on the OsX PPc version ?
