Hello,
The Problem i have seen is, that i have the file in the res file named as: Sack.wav and when i than force an client command like: play Sack.wav the client says that this file isnt found... becouse the file on the disc now is lower case...
The same is on the directorys :(
I built an server plugin what loads the files automatical and force it playing about there name but this dont goes with the lower case funktion.
I nead lower and upper case becouse i splitt the file name for an list on the server on there upper case like: YouAreAnBitch.wav its than shown as: You Are An Bitch
You know what i mean ?

This is rather odd. To my knowledge case really shouldn't matter that much ie: MyMod = mymod and Sack.wav = sack.wav
I don't see a problem with the file being all lowercase. It's still is the same file and reguardless of it being Sack.wav or sack.wav Win32 systems will load them all the same.
I'm sure that when the file is created on the client the engine forces the file name to all lowercase. Why I don't know but it shouldn't affect anything.

Hi,
Thanks for the replay!
The Server is on Linux.
The Problem what i mean is, that in the res file the file has the name: Sack.wav and when the Client (win32) has downloaded the file has the name: sack.wav
Why its not the same name ?
And why we cant use folders with uppercase ? When i add in the res file an file with the folder: MyMod the file in this folder were not found.. becouse the server searches in "mymod" :(
Its there a way to add recources without an resource file by an plugin ?
THANKS !

Are you running a Linux dedicated server or Win32 server?
Linux servers preserve the case of filenames, Win32 servers do not.
On Linux "Sack.mp3" and "sack.mp3" are 2 different files. On Win32 they are the same file.
You should have the .res file entries match whatever the filename is on your server and shouldn't have to worry about the name on the client (since the client's will be Win32 anyway).
If it really bothers, you, you can rename the server version of the file to all lowercase, then it will be the same regardless of whether the server is Linux or Win32.
