So as you may know i made Morbus, however i have found a bit of a problem with the new Garry's Mod server browser. All the Morbus servers appear under the "morbus" gamemode, when the gamemode name is "Morbus". Is there something i can change so it displays the gamemode name as "Morbus" and not "morbus"?
shared file, one of the first to load:
[lua]//
// Game-Mode Information
//
GM.Name = "AcecoolDev"
GM.Author = "Acecool"
GM.Email = "acecoolcompany@..."
GM.Website = "http://www.....com/"
GM.TeamBased = false;[/lua]
Why dose it really matter if its in lower case or uppercase?
Just wondering.

If he is the only one hosting it, Not at all, but if the server becomes a public hosted gamemode, then some of the servers would be under 'Morbus' while others were under 'morbus'

The gamemode name is set correctly there and has never ever said "morbus", the problem is that it is not updating to the server browser.

I like things to be done right and look proper. The gamemode's name is morbus, and not Morbus.
I'm starting to wonder, are periods allowed inside gamemode names in GM.Name?
And once again, i'm talking about the [B]o[/B][B]ne[/B] server browser, not the legacy one. It works fine in the legacy browser.
Found out that the gamemode name on the server browser DOES NOT REFLECT what is in the txt file, it is based on GM.Name still and YOU CANNOT USE "." in the name.
The text file name is the name of the folder, the heading title is just the "class" name if I recall correctly and the name in the text is local reference?
I believe there was an issue with users putting odd characters in the GM.Name so Garry may have restricted special characters so users couldn't name their game-mode **TTT to be at the top.

Really what should happen is the gamemode name for the (new) server browser should be read from the text file under the "title" and the GM.Name should be for the legacy browser. That way gamemodes of the similar type all get classified under the same GM13 browser, but in the legacy browser you can see the individual variations, like for Morbus the version.
In the old old gmod the gamemode name was the folder name these days the list is plagued with variations of spelling...
