Hello,

I'm confronted to a problem, I'm trying to parse config file with KeyValues but each times I'm running a file through it FileToKeyValues return false. The path to the file is correct, the file exist the Keyvalue exist in the file. I'm out of idea on what is going wrong.

Thanks to any one who can help me.

Here is my code:

PHP Code:

public bool Hns_Models_LoadModels()
{
    Global_TotalModels = 0

    Handle Kv_Models = CreateKeyValues("Models")

    char CurrentMap[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH]
    GetCurrentMap(CurrentMap, sizeof(CurrentMap))
    
    char ConfigFilePath[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH]
    BuildPath(Path_SM, ConfigFilePath, sizeof(ConfigFilePath), "configs/HideAndSeek/maps/%s.cfg", CurrentMap)

    char ModelsPath[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH]
    char ModelsCachedPath[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH]

    if (FileToKeyValues(Kv_Models, ConfigFilePath) == false)
    {
        Global_ModelsLoaded = false
        PrintToServer("[SM][HnS] Can't parse Models config file for map %s.", CurrentMap)
        CloseHandle(Kv_Models)

        return false
    }

    else
    {
        KvGotoFirstSubKey(Kv_Models)

        do
        {
            // Get Models Path And Precache It
            KvGetSectionName(Kv_Models, ModelsPath, sizeof(ModelsPath))
            Format(ModelsCachedPath, sizeof(ModelsCachedPath), "models/%s.mdl", ModelsPath)
            PrecacheModel(ModelsCachedPath, true)

            Global_TotalModels++
        }
        while (KvGotoNextKey(Kv_Models))

        Global_ModelsLoaded = true
        CloseHandle(Kv_Models)

        return true
    }
}

Show your file. Maybe syntax error, and you don't see this.

Oh yeas sorry I forgot that. Here it is.

For each maps they are all structured the same way.

[blackdevil72]

Does any one have any of what I did wrong? I have and other function I wrote for an other part of the plug in that have the exact same problem.

Your code runs fine on my server. Are you sure your user has sufficient permissions to the HideAndSeek directory, and it's files?

[blackdevil72]

For me it doesn't work locally. I'm running Arch Linux as my primary os, I tried with a chmod of 750, then 770, and finish with 777 its didn't work and the owner is my user so I don't know what is happening
.
I also tried on my remote server and same thing is happening. I don't have any way to try on a Windows or Mac SRCDS install.

To make things easier if the problem come from elsewhere here is the GitHub of the project: https://github.com/blackdevil72/HideAndSeek2

EDIT:

I've found a work around, if I rename the folder to "hideandseek" and not "HideAndSeek" it works. On what OS did you ti run my code please? Can some one else could try on and other Linux distrib and on Windows? maybe on Mac is some one can do that.

Linux filesystems differentiate between "hideandseek" vs "HideAndSeek". On Windows and Mac this is not true. For this reason it is always recommended to leave all directories lowercase.

I'm not quite sure what is causing this issue, however it could just be how the game is deciding to load the file. It doesn't seem like SourceMod itself modifies the file path input in any way.

[blackdevil72]

Yes linux is case sensitive, I suposed it was or coming from the source engine way to handle files or sourcemod/sourceapawn.

My best guess is it come from the source engine, it date from a period pre valve interest for linux, its possible as it was first intended for windows support that there file management is a bit "dirty". That would also explain some error I have in the ingame consoles that don't appear on windows when loading some maps.

Thank you I'll put that resolved then.

FileToKeyValues is a wrapper around a SDK function so uses the engine's filesystem interface, which does indeed lowercase all paths on most games.
