Case insensitive filesystem

Post by ezze »

It is probably a non-issue in Windows, but in Linux it seems that OpenMW does not normalize the filenames.

After the last news I wanted to play OpenMW again and I got stuck with "Morrowind.bsa non found," the problem was that the file was called "morrowind.bsa."

It is not a great problem if there is such a clear message, but it might be weird if the game does not find some assets or minor stuff...

It would be possible to convert all the filenames to lowercase or implement a case insensitive file accesser?

We already handle case issues. If that does not work in some cases, it is a bug and should be properly reported (on the tracker, with all details necessary to reproduce the problem).
