YYPMaker erroneously trashing .yy files

A recent game maker update made it so that .yy files are consistently being saved in lower case, regardless of the naming conventions in the IDE and relative to the directories the data files are in, which as a result is causing them to be discarded after running YYPMaker. Has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks for reporting. I will take a look asap.

Also having this issue after the 2022.6 game maker update

YYPM Repair.py

I wrote a really shoddy Python script (I have very little experience with Python) to temporarily alleviate the issue. Just place it in your project directory and then run it before running YYPM. It'll rename every .yy file to match its respective directory so that YYPM doesn't trash it.

It'll also say that some assets are missing when you open the project again (or I'm fairly certain, just when you reload the .yyp while the project is still open), but that is just a false negative.


(Also don't mind the name of that repo, I just didn't want to figure out where else to upload this)

Hey thanks! We'll give it a try. Manually fixing after a merge by hand at the moment lol
