Summary

0007276: Worldgen arguments are not passed on correctly from the df script

Description

$* expands spaces in arguments, so this command:

./df -gen 1 RANDOM "MEDIUM ISLAND"

Ends up running this:

./libs/Dwarf_Fortress "-gen" "1" "RANDOM" "MEDIUM" "ISLAND"

Or from gamelog.txt:

*** STARTING NEW GAME ***
Command Line: -gen "1" "RANDOM" "MEDIUM" "ISLAND"
Command Line: World generation initiated.
Command Line: World generation parameter set MEDIUM not found -- using default.
Generating world using parameter set MEDIUM ISLAND

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

The fix is as trivial as the problem: Change $* to "$@" (with quotes) so the whole file reads:

#!/bin/sh
DF_DIR=$(dirname "$0")
cd "${DF_DIR}"
export SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS=1 # Work around for bug in Debian/Ubuntu SDL patch.
#export SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED=1 # Centre the screen. Messes up resizing.
./libs/Dwarf_Fortress "$@" # Go, go, go! :)
