Case sensitivity and saving/loading issues about fallout2-ce HOT 10 OPEN

This issue looks a LOT like the same issue I had with fallout1-ce.
I opened a pull request for fallout1-ce which fixes that issue: alexbatalov/fallout1-ce#119
If I get time I could try to reproduce this and port that fix over to fallout2-ce.

Thanks a lot for your answer! It appears that your solution is enough to solve the problem. I found the compat_makepath(basePath, drive, dir, NULL, NULL); function call at line 26 in src/file_find.cc of the F2CE source. Following your example, I added the compat_resolve_path(basePath); function call right after it. After having compiled and tried out the game, I could finally save and load the game without any issues. This fix should definitely be added to the latest source.

at line 26 in src/file_find.cc

Works perfectly, thanks. I would add that after an attempt with the broken code it is advisable to delete the sav files from the maps folder, otherwise you could start fresh games with dead ants in the trial caves...

Your fix works perfectly for me. (GOG version)
Thanks a lot

Had an issue where I was unable to save (Error saving! Unable to save!), I tried fixing the path to data like in fallout1-ce (using upper case in the cfgs), but no luck. So then, I tried deleting the SAVEGAME folder and having the game remake it upon saving, no luck. Adding compat_resolve_path after compat_makepath and after recompiling there was no issue.

Game now saves and loads just fine. Should a PR be made for this?

for linux gog install in v1.2 saving worked for innoextract method and heroic game launcher install. v1.3 save fails and compat_resolve_path(basePath); addition in src/file_find.cc fixes again, but it is now after compat_makepath(basePath, drive, dir, nullptr, nullptr); line.

issue addressed in PR #369
