Each standalone profile records where its version is read: the source at its pin (clk 2026-07-23-136-g9020107, shadps4 0.20.1 WIP, eden v0.2.0-401-g26a03d2), the APK, binary or archive read (kind package), or, where no reading can be made, kind unverified with the reason: a host the tools cannot read, a forge gone or not answering, no build recorded as read, a pin on another branch. Those keep their value, unconfirmed.

CorsixTH is a Lua + C++ reimplementation of Bullfrog's Theme Hospital
|
|
engine. It reads graphics, sprites, levels and sounds from an
|
|
untouched Theme Hospital install (full retail/GOG or the shareware
|
|
demo).
|
|
|
|
App:checkInstallFolder() in CorsixTH/Lua/app.lua:1450 drives the
|
|
install discovery:
|
|
1. config.theme_hospital_install (user override) is tried first
|
|
(:1453). If unset or wrong, the loader scans a list of common
|
|
paths (:1473-1491) looking for a folder that passes
|
|
App:isThemeHospitalPath, which demands three subdirectories
|
|
named data, levels and qdata (:1435-1447).
|
|
2. Once a candidate is accepted, three sentinel files MUST exist
|
|
(:1523-1525):
|
|
DATA/VBlk-0.tab
|
|
LEVELS/Level.L1
|
|
QDATA/SPointer.dat
|
|
Any missing file aborts init with "Invalid Theme Hospital
|
|
folder specified in config file..." (:1528).
|
|
3. DataM/Demo.dat (:1537) marks the shareware demo install. Its
|
|
presence switches a different corruption-size check on
|
|
ANIMS/WINLEVEL.SMK (243188), LEVELS/LEVEL.L1 (163948) and
|
|
DATA/BUTTON01.DAT (252811) at :1561-1563. Full installs instead
|
|
get soft size checks on ANIMS/AREA01V.SMK, WINGAME.SMK,
|
|
WINLEVEL.SMK, LOSE1.SMK and INTRO/INTRO.SM4 (:1565-1569).
|
|
4. QData/Font00V.dat is read unconditionally (:1578) and its CRC32
|
|
picks the charset (mik vs cp437).
|
|
|
|
The install root is read as a tree. FileSystem:setRoot() lists the
|
|
root, each subdirectory is listed the first time a path crosses it,
|
|
and every name is matched after normalise() upper-cases it
|
|
(CorsixTH/Lua/filesystem.lua:59-76, 93-117, 243-272). Graphics,
|
|
sprites, levels, sounds and movies are opened from that tree on
|
|
demand, so the install is declared as one directory. The files the
|
|
loader names at startup keep their own entries, written with the
|
|
upper-case names the DOS release ships and the lookup normalises to.
|
|
|
|
The sound/music path uses the game's XMI tracks when a SoundFont is
|
|
available (App:findSoundFont at :1591 probes GeneralUser-GS.sf2,
|
|
FluidR3_GM.sf2, FluidR3.sf3 and three Linux system paths), and the
|
|
SoundFont is a user preference, not game data.
