Case sensitive autopacking #73

Open MAGNAT2645 opened 5 years ago

MAGNAT2645 commented 5 years ago

Autopack always pack files with lowercase filenames. Would be good if this feature could pack files with same filenames as you have.

Yes, source is not case sensitive and CompilePal takes advantage of that by lowercasing everything to make searching easier. I hadn't thought about this before but you bring a good point. I'd be tempted to output paths as they appear in the bsp instead, so that everything is consistent in the output bsp. But I think your idea is better. It's better to not have multiple versions of the same assets under different filenames floating around.

After some quick investigation, it looks like we do output everything as appears in the BSP, and bspzip is the one lower casing the filenames @maxdup . As far as I'm aware, Source isn't case sensitive, so is there any reason you want this feature @MAGNAT2645 ?

I wanted the case sensitivity to work like in VIDE Pakfile. Sometimes mappers leave Easter eggs in file names or just leave funny names. Case-sensitive text is more readable.

I looked into this, but I can't figure out how VIDE managed to pack it with uppercase. I'm putting this feature on hold until I can find out how.
