FYI -- bug in stormlib 8.02 (and possibly older)

[namreeb]

Just an FYI for people. I have found an apparent bug in StormLib v8.02 (and I presume it exists in some earlier versions as well). The bug is that SFileHasFile() will sometimes incorrectly return false. I believe this happens when the file you're checking for did not exist in the parent MPQ, but was created by a patch (in other words, SFileHasFile() does not appear to use "merged mode" when checking for a file's existence).

I have reported this to the stormlib author, but for now I would recommend not using SFileHasFile().

That reminds me, i found another bug in it. If you seek in a patched file before reading from it first you get a file corrupt error, i better report that

thx for sharing such information. Hopefully I'm not using it ATM.
