I've updated the script at http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/pretzel/Enigma/levelcleaner.rb to write "indexname=" and then the old name for any index entries that have been moved. m_tutor and Sokoban level pack index.txt files are unaffected. The update should work just fine for the current codebase, but I have not tested it. If you use this on the 0.92 release version, it will not load any of the relocated level packs due to unknown field "indexname". This change is one-way, into the future. Erich's idea sounds good, also. But I think a note to say that index files may include an optional "indexname" field will be fine. The only people it's likely to confuse are people making level pack files, not individual levels. As for making this temporary, just reading the user file and rewriting it once with the index's "file" entry when the entry matches the "indexfile" entry will "update" the config file. That still affects the users Erich describes who never run a version after this change and skip to a version after the change is removed. Also, those who downgrade. Leaving the "file" and "indexname" entries in the Enigma, Enigma2, Enigma3, Esprit, Oxyd, and Experimental index.txt files and leaving the routine in Enigma to read "indexname" for a longer time (say next release to 1.2, or a span of a year) will cover (I'm guessing) more than 99.9%. The manual fix for this isn't too hard - several find/replace-all's on the user file (one for each level pack listed above) will do the trick. I have not tested this potentia fix; I've only modified the cleanup script as Daniel has asked. If a map file is needed, I am sure I can generate that. And, a system-wide highscore list would indeed be nice - should be possible in Windows, too. I suspect if no user name can be found, just having the system-wide record time show without the name of the user would have to do. Those Windows OS's that don't use a user name are more than 5 years old now. Hope this all makes sense!
