I have installed GB64 and in the ini files used relative pathing.
(see subject header!)
Whilst I have everything "99%" working, I am confised by the 1% error.
I have the frontend running and the covers are appearing, the games run etc.
but, when I do a 'verify files' I get 97 files missing from the HVS collection, and about 50 files missing from the screenshots list. (note, none missing from the games section!)
However, when I use absolute paths, there are no files missing at all.
Now, I have a good understanding of the difference between absolute and relative, but surely either *all* the files would be missing, or none, not this weird number?
I ask, as I have my GB collection on a removable USB drive, and have a .bat that re-registers the .dll's that need to be known to the system. (saves reinstalling the front end on a mates HD, when he does not want that!)
The relative paths work for the most part, and I *do* use the absolute when I take my drive to work. But why oh *WHY* this weird missing files prob when using relative.???

Re: Firstly, I know this will not 'really' warrant an answer
Can you PM or post that batch file? I'm just curious how you managed it to let the front-end work on a system without running the complete setup.arthur_gill@hotmaIl.com wrote:I have my GB collection on a removable USB drive, and have a .bat that re-registers the .dll's that need to be known to the system.

You can view a log after verifying the files. Maybe there is something common in the filenames/locations of the files not found. Maybe they contain one or more special characters like !, #, *, $, '.arthur_gill@hotmaIl.com wrote:I get 97 files missing from the HVS collection, and about 50 files missing from the screenshots list.

What dll's should be registered? Only the ones in the Gamebase folder? Then I suppose this would do the trick:
I'm asking you because I currently don't have access to a PC Gamebase is NOT installed on... 
Code: Select all

well, I find this works.
regsvr32 GBfuncs.dll
regsvr32 GBSql.dll
regsvr32 Gemus.dll
regsvr32 pnglib.dll
HOWEVER!!!!
I am talking about moving an existing install between drives physically connected to a PC that at some point had GB installed and getting the front end to run again without a reinstall.
To get the product to run without EVER having been installed I cannot confirm.
I think it would be a great thing to test though...
Hang on, I will give it a go!
I have a pc here.
IT WORKS!
but you need office installed (I recall if you do not have office installed then tabctl32.ocx throws a wobbler)
You can obtain this as a download, but I will let you all do a google on that.
So, I have proven you do NOT need to INSTALL the frontend, and you can transport your belowev games with you (9mm usb HD's are a wonderful invention).
However, when I use relative pathing (Especially with GB64), and then verify files, some are missing (?) but most are not.
Use absolute pathing and 100% success rate.
It really helps to have access on a windows XP machine to the 'manage' option so you can change the drive letter of the external drive, but if you cannot then you have to change EVERY setting for ALL the gamebase emus configured.

Thanks! Still two questions:
1) How can you use relative paths in Gamebase? I can only browse for games, screenshots etc. (Paths in menu Options) and this will always result in an absolute path.
2) Do you have a list of screenshots/SIDs that are not found by Verify files? Maybe I can help you check that list and try to find some things these files have in common (filename length, special characters, pathname, etc.)

hmmm.
I think I may #P# off the GB64 team if I start telling everyone how to avoid having to install and configure their software. (I do not wish to do that...!)
It is THEIR program after all.
I just want to know if relative pathing is going to be supported, and if it 'technically' already is, why do I get these unusual errors when I use it, but not when using absolute?

Some GB Team members may disagree, but I don't see a problem with making an external GB that doesn't need installation if it is for personal use, and not for distribution in any way.
What is the HVS collection? Are you talking about the GameBase Collection or your personal collection? I have seen problems with certain filenames on external disks, especially CDs, although I'm not sure that is the problem here.
If you set the full path, verify, then set the relative path, doen't it work the way you want it?

example of my problem with relative pathing.
here is my physical srive structure
w:¬
gamebase¬
GBC_03¬
Games
C64Music
etc.
now if I use absolute pathing and verify files, all are found.
If I use the following relative paths in the ini files..
" ..\..\..\gamebase\GBC_03\games"
" ..\..\..\gamebase\GBC_03\C64Music"
I get the following result (long read at end of this message.)
I just do not understand why this happens.
IS there a dos limitation on relative pathing that is causing this? if so perhaps a remane is required for som of these files.
I tried it with the atari lynx emu and no missing files, anywhere.
It has only come to light that it may be the filenames or paths themselves giving me this problem...

w:¬
gamebase¬
GBC_03¬
Games
C64Music
etc.
now if I use absolute pathing and verify files, all are found.
If I use the following relative paths in the ini files..
" ..\..\..\gamebase\GBC_03\games"
" ..\..\..\gamebase\GBC_03\C64Music"
I get the following result (long read at end of this message.)
I just do not understand why this happens.
IS there a dos limitation on relative pathing that is causing this? if so perhaps a remane is required for som of these files.
I tried it with the atari lynx emu and no missing files, anywhere.
It has only come to light that it may be the filenames or paths themselves giving me this problem...

just got a confirmation message from within the frontend
As the AtariST emu and all (ALL) associated files seem to not work with relative, I decided to stop all the silliness and play a c64 game.
I decided to configure the emulators with relative pathing (I had all the other files mostly working, apart from the ones I have posted about).
The gemus script does NOT like relative search entries.
In fact I got the message from the Gemus emulator wizard for Commodore 64 "an absolute path is required! =g C;\emulators"
I just want a 100% portable hd that I can take anywhere and play my games on...
I am not distributing,,,,,
Help!!!

I used the following test situation:
- Made a copy of gb264 to gbtest (now I have a folder C:\Program files\Gamebase\gbtest). I used gb264 instead of GBC_V03 because it is a much smaller database.
- Moved the folders Games, Screen Images, Yape and Sounds to a new folder C:\Gamebase
- Used the following relative paths:
..\..\gamebase\Games
..\..\gamebase\Screen Images
..\..\gamebase\Sounds
Testing with these settings gave the following results:
- Verify files give the same results as the original gb264 (games not found 1/385, pictures not found 4,393)
- You must give the relative path from the location where gamebase.exe resides (NOT from the MDB file). So the root is 2 levels up, not 3!
- removing 1 '..\' from the beginning of the paths (..\gamebase\Games, etc.) results in nothing found, but adding 1 or 2 times '..\' at the beginning of the paths doesn't make a difference! The relative path '..\..\..\..\gamebase\Games' also finds all games except one!
Conclusion / things you can try:
- The are too many 'moving ups' (..\) in your paths. From what I can see is one ..\ enough. The paths should be:
..\gamebase\GBC_03\games
..\gamebase\GBC_03\C64Music
But if the Games and Music files are located UNDER the Gamebase program folder, the following paths should also work:
GBC_03\games
GBC_03\C64Music
You could also give this a try:
\gamebase\GBC_03\games
\gamebase\GBC_03\C64Music
I know that this are not relative paths, but the complete gamebase is installed in the root directory of your USB drive. Removing only the drive letter from the path should solve your problem that the drive is assigned different drive letters on each computer.

If you downloaded the HVSC or an update, you will have missing Sids. That is why I asked if you are talking about the GameBase Collection or the HVS Collection (HVSC duh! 
).
There are definitely limitations to the path length in DOS, so you could be getting path errors. During early GameBase beta testing I was running into path problems a lot until I moved the directories up a few levels to shorten the paths. It doesn't look like your paths are all that long, but it is possible.

ok, how is this for a suggestion for the next version..
firstly, a question.
currently the frontend uses .ini files, that have statically assigned paths.
would it be possible for future versions (instead of using relative path, as it does not work 100%) to use a system variable?
EG: %gbroot%
I could then point the folder paths to ' %gbroot%\gamebase\....\......\.....\(setting).ini
if I then changed the drive the gamebase wa son, I just need to change the system variable.
I just tried this and it Definately does not currently work.
As I posted previously, some parts of the frontend ectually error with a message stating an absolute path is required.
Using system variables would mean you can have %gbroot% for the frontend
%gbfilesroot% for the location of the 'ahem' games etc....
you still have in place the 'do not ship the frontend with the database etc' ruling in place, but then people like myself (who can and do use multiple pc's to play the games on) are not forever editing a ton of ini settings.
This is still shying away from the registry and is quite tidy, perhaps a menu setting for 'database root = ' would be nice also, then you only have to change one setting and all are auto updated...
