Why doesn't my gamemode folder exist on the client?

[Lexic]

] lua_run a,b = file.Find("applejack*", "LUA") print(b[1], file.Exists("applejack", "LUA"))
> a,b = file.Find("applejack*", "LUA") print(b[1], file.Exists("applejack", "LUA"))...
applejack	true

] lua_run_cl a,b = file.Find("applejack*", "LUA") print(b[1], file.Exists("applejack", "LUA"))
applejack	false

If you are looking for a folder use [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/file/IsDir[/url]
not file.Exists

oh I see your problem now, that's weird. I couldn't tell by your post.

[i]Files[/i] in it exist.

] lua_run_cl a,b = file.Find("applejack/*", "LUA") PrintTable(a)PrintTable(b) print(file.Exists("applejack/gamemode", "LUA"), file.IsDir("applejack/gamemode", "LUA"), file.Exists("applejack/gamemode/cl_init.lua", "LUA"))
1	=	entities
2	=	gamemode
false	false	true

Also returns false, see above.

Also, file.Exists does work on directories.

] lua_run_cl print(file.Exists("gamemodes/", "MOD"))
true

Typically it won't exist on the client as far as I'm aware unless they've downloaded it like ttt, etc.

It definitely [i]exists[/i], because I'm running lua from it and searching in it with file.Find.
This looks like a bug to me, so I've [url=Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues/1038]filed a report.[/url]

It may be a "virtual" copy based on the cache? Addons, etc are virtually distributed throughout, so that could be the reason too.

I don't see why that would make file.Exists return false on the the folder name.
