Admin username always turns into lowercase

Very frustrating when you keep wondering why it changes back all the time.

If you change the accounts.adm admin username to something like Admin, when the server creates the new username/password is converts Admin to admin. I've done this, changed the dir name, the username.uad and the username inside the file all to Admin, loaded up UOX3, and it keeps converting back to lowercase everytime.

Account-names in UOX3 are case-sensitive... in that it converts the account-name lookups in the account-files to lowercase before it checks against what you entered in the login-screen. So no matter what you enter in the account-files, you have to login using a lowercase account-name.

I'm not sure why it was setup like this, maybe to make comparisons easier.

Did it actually change the username in the files to lowercase for you as well?

Yes. If I manually change the admin.adm file to, user ADMIN pass ADMIN, the next save will convert it to, user admin pass ADMIN.
