Another Error in font directory

Hi Guys,

As the title says Error in font directory is happening on all my detonator presets when using my “home made” detonator_Oli_buttons.h

These are the files I have in my font folders:
bgnarm
boom
boot
endarm
font
alt000\armhum
alt000\hum
alt001\armhum
alt001\hum

This it the serial monitor output:

15:09:55.821 -> WARNING: A font seems to be missing some files!!
15:09:55.821 -> Found armhum.wav files: one unnumbered file SOME FILES ARE MISSING! 3 != 2 in _Detonator/td/alt*

Any idea of what could be missing ?

Before I switched to Alt sounds, I had these:
armhum
bgnarm
boom
boot
endarm
font
hum
And it was working perfectly
With the alt sounds, no sounds seems to be missing, everything is playing as I intended.

3

These are your errors.

4

can you do a full recursive list dump from your font root?

5

No kidding! But I think you are wrong, the errors are:

Both for armhum & hum

What does 3 != 2 even mean?

I have no idea what that is, or how to do it. So to answer your question: no I can’t

Edit: but I have no other files than the ones listed above (6 files in the font folder armhum & hum in both alt00x folders.

6

If you have exactly this:

td/bgnarm.wav
td/boom.wav
td/boot.wav
td/endarm.wav
td/font.wav
td/alt000/armhum.wav
td/alt000/hum.wav
td/alt001/armhum.wav
td/alt001/hum.wav

Then I see no reason you should get a files missing error regarding armhum.

7

It means one of the alts has 3 sounds, when others have 2, “3 does not equal 2” is checking each alt for number of files for that sound, if there’s a mismatch it gives this error.

8

Each Alt folders in all 4 fonts have exactly 2 files: armhum & hum, nothing else.
I did a right click/Properties (Windows 10) on all Alt folders: “2 Files, 0 Folders”

I did the recursive list dump:

E:\_Detonator\td\boom.wav
E:\_Detonator\td\boot.wav
E:\_Detonator\td\endarm.wav
E:\_Detonator\td\font.wav
E:\_Detonator\td\bgnarm.wav
E:\_Detonator\td\alt000\armhum.wav
E:\_Detonator\td\alt000\hum.wav
E:\_Detonator\td\alt001\armhum.wav
E:\_Detonator\td\alt001\hum.wav
9

Check your common folder, make sure there’s no duplicated sounds.

There was A rogue hum.wav in my common. Well done @Fett263. Thank you.

Buuut…

For the sake of completeness, it was not over with just deleting a rogue hum.wav

In my common, I also had a “hum_ORI.wav” file, renamed it to "_hum_ORI.wav but the error still hapenned so I deleted it too.

After deleting it, error in font directory kept happening so I changed the common folder in my detonator presets from *;common to *;Voicepack_Captain_Rex_V2 who happened to be on my SD card already. Since my detonator doesn’t have any kind of Edit mode, it is not going to matter how I name my common.

It still happened, serial monitor showed common was still being scanned for some reason and Voicepack_Captain_Rex_V2 was not. So I did the delete the “S” from the first StylePtr trick. I was uploading the correct config because without the S it didn’t compile.

So I commented out //#define FONT_PATTERN "*;common" and just to be sure, I also deleted the global.ini & .tmp, the crustate.ini & tmp and the presets.ini & tmp

I do not have KEEP_SAVEFILES_WHEN_PROGRAMMING in my config.

All that finally did it, no more error in font directory.

But I do not know which step finally did it or which step could have been avoided.

Well if you had this defined, then it’s going to look specifically in a folder named “common”.

And there’s the perfect example.

If you left that define in place and removed/renamed “common”, you would have had Error In Font Directory due to “common” not being found.

But I still don’t know what file(s) in my common could be the culprit.

And I would not delete my common, it is a “multi_prop” config (over 4500 lines long) with way too many lines referencing to it.

13

Well it would probably need to be an armhum since you cleared the hum issue.
Did you do effects again?
Is it happy about hum now, but still complaining about armhum?
How about a listing of your common folder contents?

14

Well effects is not going to help since it is not looking in common:

other than the renamed “_hum_ORIG.wav” & “_hum_LOW.wav” (yes I put them back) there is no other file with “hum” in the name:
results.txt (24.0 KB)

Edit: I am re-uploading with common just to see if it comes back.

After re-uploading with common instead of Voicepack_Captain_Rex_V2, it’s back.

Same hum/armhum problem:

I think I know where the problem is. Since I have some of my blaster sounds in there too, I have Alt000 (kill), Alt001 (stun) & Alt002 (auto) folder in my common. But my detonator only has/uses Alt000 & Alt001.

So I guess I have some re-organizing to do in my common but it will be for tomorrow.

You can always count on me to try a weird case that nobody would have thought of. I know, I like weird things. Good thing I didn’t choose chemistry as my hobby, I would have found unknown ways to blow things (and myself) up without wanting to.

17

You can’t have alt folders folder in both locations. That counts as the same file as far as the OS is concerned. (unless I’m wrong)

Something tells me that you are not wrong. Thanks for the help.

19

Yeah, best case I’ve had with something like that is it plays both sound effects while saying error…

20

This error came from having 3 alt folders in common for my “generic” blaster with clipin, clipout and reload for stun, kill and auto modes but only two alt folders in my detonator fonts with hum & armhum for “regular” or stealth mode. If I had a third set of hum & armhum for my detonator, there would not have been an error or sound overlap and I would have never know there was something that could potentially cause errors in the future.
