This should be in Help and Support also =\

Is this the "official" fix or just an alternate to the php script in the wiki?

[VOSK]

It was written by Dead_Eye (on these forums), I'm just putting it here for reference.
I tested it myself on my own Linux server: after running it on my "hl2" directory (in "orangebox"), my server worked correctly - no missing animations and so on.

[blindphaze]

I feel like an idiot but, how do I run that script?

I put it in a file named what? and then what do I type?

put it in a file named whatever... convention has it end in .sh

Make it executable with chmod +x filename.sh

then run it ./filename.sh

[blindphaze]

That's what I had tried before.


I get this error:

CODE

�./bob.sh� relative_path_to_directory/
with tailing / | do not use absolute path

[VOSK]

I did this:

CODE

./fixcase hl2/

The script was put into the "orangebox" directory (so its at the same level as "hl2", "episodic", "ep2" and "synergy").

I did this:

./fixcase hl2/

The script was put into the "orangebox" directory (so its at the same level as "hl2", "episodic", "ep2" and "synergy").

I just used the php script instead, tried the way you just mentioned before and it returned a lot of messages and didn't work.

Hi

My server is runnig FreeBSD OS. I have saved the script as scripti.sh and chmod:ed it. Then I runned it from the orangebox folder as this: ./scripti.sh hl2/ and I get this response:
./sripti.sh:1: no matches found: [A-Z]
./sripti.sh:1: no matches found: [A-Z]

What Im doing work? why is it not working?

FreeBSD uses bash?
I need to start learning more about some of the other operating systems besides windows and anything linux based.

FreeBSD doesn't have it installed by default but it can be installed. I assume in this case the script was just edited to use the Bourne Shell installed by default. I dont know enough about scripting to know if this is entirely correct. However, I do know that if FreeBSD has bash installed the shell is in /usr/local/bin/bash so perhaps not only is the wrong shell installed but the first line of the script needed changed?

[Dark1337]

Well I have been doing some work with bash and I know that the first line is supposed to be #!/path/to/shell or what ever the path should be so I bet that is the problem. But now that I think of it, it looks like the script isn't running because it can't be found. To be honest I didn't even know that srcds could run on FreeBSD.

[Sky-Knight]

FreeBSD + linux compatibility binaries for all intents and purposes runs things like a Fedora box...

I use CentOS now because Asterisk seems to be smoother here but prior to that all my srcds boxes have been FreeBSD. Including my old Counter-Strike server... it runs quite well.

[Roland]

eh

Sory that I did not say this at first, but I changed the first line to this: #! /usr/local/bin/zsh to get the script work. Well at the moment it not a problem the the srcds dosent run on my FreeBSD server, but there is a problem that user disconnect on level change. Now I think this linux fix can help this problem, but the script dosent work.

[Myth]

Here's a php script that does the same thing. Make sure you got php-cli installed so you can run php scripts from commandline.

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
symlinkDir(getcwd());
function symlinkDir($dir) {
if (is_dir($dir)) {
$files = scandir($dir);
foreach ($files as $file) {
if (($file != '.') && ($file != '..')) {
$filename = $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file;
if (is_dir($filename)) {
symlinkDir($filename);
}
if ($filename != strtolower($filename)) {
@ symlink($filename, strtolower($filename));
}
}
}
}
}
?>

[gmc.jimmy]

This name case fix script seems to work OK with the hl2 directory, but not with episodic or ep2 on my machine. I still get errors from missing VMTs. I've had much better success using this method instead with all 3 campaigns so far.

[cartman-2000]

The vfat thing won't work correctly for all. Some linux oses, older ones probably, the one I tested it on had a several year old fedora core 2 install, won't allow you to mount the vfat disk image file if it's larger then 2gb.

[gmc.jimmy]

You can divvy up the subdirectories in to individual parts to get smaller bits. It just means more effort for the person doing the work. But it still should be doable.

EDIT: Maybe.. I don't know as I don't have Fedora Core 2 to try this on. But you could try updating mkdosfs and it's mkfs.vfat tool to allow you to create vfat disk images larger than 2gb. If you have admin on that machine. And if I recall, I did have to update mine on my Slackware 11 test box for just that same reason. But my memory is failing me at this moment for me to be 100% certain. Please take this with caution.

[webname]

create a separate JFS partition format it with mkfs.jfs -O This will create a case-insensitive JFS partition
I use this for the home partition of my samba server.
Apple=aPPle

MInd you i still come across blasted winders apps that ARE case sensitive go figure

And of course this being linux you could also create said filesystem in a file large
enough to hold all your data. Ive done that as well so who needs fat mounted loop
