[BUG] [General] Inconsistent symlink detection #740

Closed pas-de-2 closed 1 year ago

pas-de-2 commented 1 year ago

Just a small thing I noticed today while setting up raze. A symlink to DUKE3D.GRP in the raze_1.5.0 directory is detected fine. The same symlink in the /data subdir is not. Symlinks to Sw.grp or WT.GRP aren't detected no matter where I place them.

raze v1.5.0, Win10

Why do you need symlinks anyway? Raze can/does search subdirectories so such a setup shouldn't be necessary.

Don't get me wrong this isn't a priority at all, it's just something weird I noticed after I tried to symlink the files from my eduke32 directory and felt like documenting.

This is an unsupported way to set up the game.
