Linux and case sensitivity


 Share

Recommended Posts

I think I found one issue, when using a model created by windows and trying it out on Linux.

 

I copied a .MDL animated file from Windows which looked good, to Linux. The mesh was white on Linux.

 

I opened up a hex editor and found that windows had stored the directory name of the textures in lower case, but linux is case sensitive. The paths on my system are uppercase.

 

This could be true of when receiving objects from others who use windows and attempt to port to linux.

 

Let me know if this doesn't make sense, probably was discovered a while back though.

 

Work around: don't use upper case names in the paths and filenames on Linux.
