Getting Wine to ignore case in file names

Post by exuvo »

Hello, im wondering if there is a way to get my Half-Life Dedicated Server (Garrys Mod, has no linux binaries) to ignore the case in filnames.
The reason is that some of the addons have model files with case and in the code they dont write the case resulting in it not finding the file.

I am completly sure that i dont have more than 1 file with the same name if you ignore the case, in the folder that i have the Dedicated Server files.

Something that converts upper case to lower case when accessing files would also work as i can rename everything to lower case.

Anyhelp appriciated!

Where do you see that? Wine already has case-insensitive file lookup.

Oh it has?
Then it might actually be that the authors have written the wrong file names, I havent hosted on windows with the console, just in-game and i cant see if it gives any errors during that time.
Also im having a few other errors in the game that i thought maybe was linked to the not finding models errors.

Thank you for the information now i know that it's atleast nothing to do with that!
