Unable to find files after going through compile and extraction steps #285
Comments
If you followed the directions exactly, you should have a Also, it looks like the game is looking for the data files in /usr/local/share/nxengine. Is that what you want? If so, you need to run git clone https://github.com/nxengine/nxengine-evo
cd nxengine-evo
mkdir build
cd build
- cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
+ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DPORTABLE=ON ..
make |

Yes there is where I want it for example and yeah I think you should add that in the documentation also as I do know about that cmake option from another issue which I have replied on :) Do you know why I have missing files at all? |
Done: https://github.com/nxengine/nxengine-evo/wiki/Building-on-Linux
Oops, you're right, there is no nxengine-evo rootI'm not sure I understand the state your build is in, but it sounds like
The part I'm not clear about is data files. Start by rechecking those steps. Did you copy |
Here is my layout inside build After extracting the files from Doukutsu.exe I first try portable mode but ran into the same issue of it being unable to find the files and I used the [Aeon Genesis (pre-patched) version, I than did the non portable compiling mode and as a test I manually put the files in /usr/local/share/nxengine to see if it would work but sadly no dice. I copied the files in data into the nxengine-evo data folder but that created more errors I tried again with portable mode and extracted but it's looking for font_1.fnt which doesn't even exist. If I copy the files from inside the data folder into the nxengine evo and run it from /build it will think that the data folder and when I put the data folder from cavestory I run into the same issue. Here is the log when I extract it |
I'll add more explicit instructions for getting the data files from Cave Story. Hopefully that will make this part more clear. |

Ohhh ok now I get it, you move the data folder,nxengine-evo and nxextract from nxengine-evo into the cavestory folder replacing and adding everything then you run nxextract and it should work because now it works. I think the instructions need to be a bit more clear also remove |
|
I'm glad you got it working!
This is not quite right. You take the data/ and Doukutsu.exe files from Cave Story and put them in the nxengine-evo repository root, like this (I added this to the instructions): After that, data/ contains a combination of 3 things:
Fair; I removed that. |
Right I see but if I wanted to make a game folder for the game and compiled it as a portable binary I could do it that way and not have the rest of nxengine-evo files there that are no longer needed if I wanted a smaller folder and zip it up correct? also do I need to worry about these warnings? |
|
Oh and for build instructions you should do |
Yes, and that's why in the docs I added the section about moving the data files and binary to a separate directory:
Yeah, that's fine. I always have those as well. If I understand the code correctly, it tries to load all sound files from fx00.pxt to fx75.pxt even though some of the files in that range don't exist in Cave Story. |
Hey I am having a issue where I have gone through the setup steps for compiling and extracting for Linux and it is unable to find the files
Just wondering if I did something wrong or not as I found the instructions a little confusing since it also didn't work. Where it says "Look in the /bin folder for the compiled binaries, and the /data folder for additional data files." where is this referring to exactly because there is no bin folder in nxengine-evo
