Bug#777338: Bug#764200: Bug#777338: game-data-packager: please add support for Doom3 BFG

[Alexandre Detiste]

Tobias,

Thanks, the only bit still missing in doom3.yaml is the size (in
bytes) of the .pk4 files.
The output of "cksums" is ok too.

I think it's better to have two distinct doom3-{*-}data and
doom3bfg-{*-}data namespaces,
so we immediately see if an expansion is for the original game or the
BFG edition.

So doom3bfg-data instead of doom3-bfg-data,
with default install_to = /usr/share/games/doom3bfg

doom3-bfg-data makes it feels like it were an expansion for doom3-data

This is perfect

The current yaml layout only accept 1 steam id+path to look into for files;
so someone would have now to do:
   game-data-packager doom3
   game-data-packager doom2 <full path of Doom 3 BFG>
   game-data-packager doom <full path of Doom 3 BFG>
to package everything, not much fun.

I'm working on alternative G-D-P frontend that can
"package all my supported steam games" or
"package all my supported steam games not yet packaged";
and Simon has plans for a GUI too.



Simon,

I guess adding "steam2:" would be too hackish for the yaml...
So we need to move everything to a new layout like this, ok ?
(I can make the populate...() accept both syntax too):

packages:
  doom2-wad:
     steam:
        2300: common/Doom 2
        208200: common/DOOM 3 BFG Edition
