Looping pak download

[illwieckz]

I haven't found an existing issue, sorry if I missed it.

I just got the looping download issue after trying to join the nightly server:

Right now I get it consistently.

[necessarily-equal]

I've had this issue consistently with the testing servers at some point.

I have the same problem right now, and I suspect every client has. The reason seems to be that the path pkg/dev/unv-nightly_0.53.1-20220811-213024-e5ed0ce~nightly_73da93bd.dpk is longer than 63 characters. I noticed this by looking at my pak dir, and seeing this:

me@box:~/.local/share/unvanquished/pkg/dev$ ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 me me 5954517 Aug  1 18:07 unv-nightly_0.52.1-20220722-193957-da57ec0.dpk

I have been told that this is connected to a line in q_shared.h: #define MAX_QPATH 64 // max length of a quake game pathname

And a line in client.h: char originalDownloadName[ MAX_QPATH ]; // if we get a redirect, keep a copy of the original file path

[DolceTriade]

Good find! That sounds like it would mess stuff up...

[illwieckz]

Note that if I'm right the comment max length of a quake game pathname is about the max length if a path name in a dpk, we may increase path name of the dpk itself without breaking the in-dpk path name length.

But we may want to look at what other tools in the ecosystem do (NetRadiant, q3map2) and report any fix if needed as we also want such dpk packages to be loaded by them.
