Installer fails to find the required files

[neuromancer]

I tried the latest revision of this mod using the Archive.org CD version of Dark Reign, but it fails to find the required files when the CD image is mounted (in ArchLinux). Maybe the checksum is not correct?

$ md5sum /run/media/g/DKREIGN/install/data/dark/graphics/sprites.ftg 
30e26c563822b646cef9fc6c01d13d0f  /run/media/g/DKREIGN/install/data/dark/graphics/sprites.ftg

Hi, thanks for the report. I'll check out the archive.org version tonight. Most certainly it's the checksum.

Hi, I gave this a go on Windows but was unable to reproduce the issue with the Archive.org version. Are you sure you clicked the Detect Disc button on the Advanced screen? It's a bit of a run-around really. I'll have to get a linux environment up and running to really test this.

Uhm, interesting. Where OpenRA is checking for mounted discs exactly? I'm using FUSE (in the Gnome desktop), but maybe I should mount the iso using the mount command?

Besides checking for actual CD types, the following fallback places are used:
"/media/openra",
"/media/username/openra",
"/mnt/openra"

IMHO it doesn't make a lot of sense to look for the mounted CD in that locations. I know this is an OpenRA mod, so that's the default behavior. I would be happy to submit a PR to fix this, modifying the Widgets/Logic/Installation/InstallFromDiscLogic.cs file, but I'm not really sure how to override it from this mod. In fact, I believe this should be fixed upstream: the DetectContentDisks() function:

https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/blob/bleed/OpenRA.Mods.Common/Widgets/Logic/Installation/InstallFromDiscLogic.cs#L109-L131

should have a parameter to allow mods to override default locations.

I have now altered the mod so it installs content from the demo again. This should be resolved now.
