I'm trying to modify the teleporter script but as soon as I save a copy to the scriptbank folder with a modified name (teleportinzoneA.lua, etc.) the scrip ceases to function. Even without modified code. I'm using the steam version and Notepad.

1- LUA is case sensitive: try: teleportinzonea.lua
2- when you change script name you has to change it in the script as well, to match with.

Lua is case sensitive but GG, for historical reasons presumably (earlier windoze compatibility?), only uses lower case for the scripts and _init/_main/_exit etc functions.

So the script names and interface function names must all be lower case in order to work.

Thanks! I feel appropriately stupid as I now remember reading this in the scripting guide.
