  • Garry's Mod Addon Not Loading On Linux

    The Issue

    I have installed a Garry's Mod addon located in the garrysmod/addons/ directory. However, the addon never loads!


    Example(s)

    Here's a directory listing of the addons/ directory in Linux:

     

    alexis@alexis01:~/server/garrysmod/addons$ ls -la
    total 16
    drwxrwxr-x  4 alexis alexis 4096 Nov 16 19:06 .
    drwxrwxr-x 19 alexis alexis 4096 Nov 16 03:21 ..
    drwxrwxr-x  4 alexis alexis 4096 Nov 15 23:46 pointshop-master
    drwxrwxr-x  2 alexis alexis 4096 Nov 16 19:06 TestAddon

     

    TestAddon is the addon that won't load.

     

    Here's it being mounted in the server's console via a screen in Linux:

    Adding Filesystem Addon '/home/alexis/server/garrysmod/addons/testaddon'

     




    Cause(s)

    In Garry's Mod, it mounts all the addons in the addons/ directory using lower-case letters. This is fine in Windows since folder names aren't case-sensitive (i.e. folder1 and Folder1 would be the same directory).

     

    However, in Linux, folders names are case-sensitive (i.e. folder1 and Folder1 can be two separate directories).

     

    Therefore, if your addon folder has an uppercase, Garry's Mod will not mount the correct folder.

     

    This bug has been reported to the Garry's Mod developers. However, it is still not fixed :( 




    Solution(s)

    Lower-case all of your sub-directories in the addons/ directory.




    Additional Information

    None for now.
