Hi
I remember that in the Linux version of AvP created by Daniel Langnas was a file extract.sh:
https://www.assembla.com/code/avp_mod/git/nodes/master/extract.sh
I think that one of the functions of this script was a conversion of all files and directories to be lowercase. Do you plan to add a similar script to a tar archive with AvP game?
The original readme recommended http://www.primaledge.ca/chcase.html
Looks like this command would do the trick (make backups, just in case!):
chcase -rd
It works. Thanks.
Do you plan to integrate this shell script with you version of AvP?
That will be nice if the installation process will be simple for everyone.
$ chcase -rd ‘/home/gbudny/Downloads/app’

Put the following line in a terminal open in the directory full of files you want lowercase, and it does the same thing (tr is a nifty program!):
for i in * ; do mv -n “$i” “$(echo “$i” | tr [:upper:] [:lower:])” ; done
Thanks.
Unfortunately, this command works only with files placed in the current directory, and chase can be used with current directory and files located in subdirectories.
Try this then, in the AvP directory. It may have more commands, but it’s shorter overall:
find . -type f | while read i ; do mv -n “$i” “$(echo “$i” | rev | cut -f1 -d/ --complement | rev )/$(echo “$i” | rev | cut -f1 -d/ | rev | tr [:upper:] [:lower:])” ; done
I will try it.
I think that will be cool if after the compilation process I will see the question about the directory with the game. In this case, I can just type name of the directory. Later, the shell script will use this command or chase, and then copy the binary file AvP to the directory with the game.
