| Description | Whenever TDM is started and stopped WITHOUT any FM installed, TDM will create an empty mission definition in the fms\mission.tdminfo file at the beginning of that file.
On consecutive runs one will even see another crumbled one at the end of the file one pop up at the end.
So, you see something like this:
tdm_missioninfo
{
}
tdm_missioninfo poets
{
"downloaded_version" "1"
}
tdm_missioninfo {
{
}
The reason is found in the fact that during initialization of TDM, the following code is executed:
Game_local.cpp, lines 4522 ff:
else if (cmd == "mainmenu_init")
{
...
idStr modName = m_MissionManager->GetCurrentModName();
CModInfoPtr info = m_MissionManager->GetModInfo(modName);
// grayman 0003733 - provide campaign and mission titles to the main menu
if (info->_missionTitles.Num() > 1)
{
idStr campaignTitle = info->_missionTitles[0];
campaignTitle += ":";
idStr campaignMissionTitle = info->_missionTitles[m_MissionManager->GetCurrentMissionIndex() + 1];
gui->SetStateString("CampaignTitleText", common->Translate(campaignTitle.c_str())); // grayman 0003733
gui->SetStateString("CampaignMissionTitleText", common->Translate(campaignMissionTitle.c_str())); // grayman 0003733
}
else if (info->_missionTitles.Num() == 1)
{
idStr missionTitle = info->_missionTitles[0];
gui->SetStateString("MissionTitleText", common->Translate(missionTitle.c_str())); // grayman 0003733
The problem here is that
m_MissionManager->GetModInfo(modName)
does not only try to retrieve info about the current mod (which is "" in case no mission is installed),
but it also adds that empty modname to it's internal modlist.
Thus, those weird entries are persisted into the file when closing TDM.
Proposed solution:
There is no need to retrieve any mod info, in case no mod is installed.
So, add a check for modname != "".
Works for me. And I did not notice any bad side-effects.
==> if (modName != "")
==> {
CModInfoPtr info = m_MissionManager->GetModInfo(modName);
// grayman 0003733 - provide campaign and mission titles to the main menu
if (info->_missionTitles.Num() > 1)
{
idStr campaignTitle = info->_missionTitles[0];
campaignTitle += ":";
idStr campaignMissionTitle = info->_missionTitles[m_MissionManager->GetCurrentMissionIndex() + 1];
gui->SetStateString("CampaignTitleText", common->Translate(campaignTitle.c_str())); // grayman 0003733
gui->SetStateString("CampaignMissionTitleText", common->Translate(campaignMissionTitle.c_str())); // grayman 0003733
}
else if (info->_missionTitles.Num() == 1)
{
idStr missionTitle = info->_missionTitles[0];
gui->SetStateString("MissionTitleText", common->Translate(missionTitle.c_str())); // grayman 0003733
}
==> }
