Title: [Tweak] PaintGrens / SmokeGrens commands should be lowercase
Post by: SuperMAn on February 24, 2012, 03:27:12 PM

Not a really big issue, but commands should always be lower case.  Simple tweak for next build?

Hm, while I agree with you, I think changing it now might be bad as it would break all existing configs that use these settings.

I don't think this is a big problem.

1. PaintGrens and SmokeGrens are not in the server config file by default, so most servers just use the default anyways.
2.  Only the people running servers on linux will be required to change it, and I don't think there is anyone running a paintball server on linux who doesn't have more than enough knowledge to change this simple setting.


True that it might break a few configs, but it will prevent future problems also.

It's not a Linux thing.  Case-sensitive cvars is part of Quake2.  Perhaps a better solution would be to make cvars case-insensitive.
