However, since it uses linux, it has an annoying habit of creating backups with ~s on the end of their filename, which dropbox picks up and shares, meaning they end up in my gamemodes folder. I wouldn't really care about this if it wasn't for the fact that file.FindInLua seems to think that sv_entity.lua~ matches the pattern "*.lua", which it quite clearly doesn't. I tested if it was including anything after the pattern by searching for "*.lu", but that came up with nothing. So why is this happening, and how do I stop it, other than routinely culling the unwanted files?
Try placing this in autorun: [lua]local FindInLua = file.FindInLua function file.FindInLua(path) local tab = FindInLua(path) local ext = path:match(".+%.(.+)$") if not ext then return tab end for k, f in ipairs(tab) do if !f:find(".+%."..ext.."&") then table.remove(tab, k) end end return tab end[/lua] Untested code, so probably fails.
