Summary0002475: [Win32] Absolute module path (C:\etc) in loadmodule gives "the specified module cannot be found."
DescriptionIn the conf:

loadmodule "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Thomas\\My Documents\\callerid.dll";

From the command prompt:

C:\Program Files\Unreal3.2>dir "C:\Documents and Settings\Thomas\My Documents\ca
llerid.dll"
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is FC27-ADC1

 Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Thomas\My Documents

04/11/2005 03:47 PM 18,944 callerid.dll
               1 File(s) 18,944 bytes
               0 Dir(s) 3,739,508,736 bytes free

The error:

* Loading IRCd configuration ..
* unrealircd.conf:34: loadmodule C:\Documents and Settings\Thomas\My Documents\callerid.dll: failed to load: The specified module could not be found.

[error] IRCd configuration failed to load


The module most certainly exists, and it should load since I just compiled it :P .

I took a spelunk with VS.NET and found this in modules.c, line 280:

    if(!strchr(path, '/'))
    {
        path = MyMalloc(strlen(path) + 3);
        strcpy(path, "./");
        strcat(path, path_);
    }

If I'm reading that right, it'll stick a ./ in front if there is no / in the name. On win32, it should be checking for \ characters (eg, && !strchr(path, '\\') ) as well :) . Otherwise, a perfectly valid absolute path like C:\whatever.dll suddenly becomes ./C:\whatever.dll (??!)... yeah...
Steps To Reproduce- Compile/Install a module on win32, and in unrealircd.conf, load it using the absolute path (eg, C:\Program Files\Unreal3.2\modules\whatever.dll).
TagsNo tags attached.
3rd party modulesquite a few (obviously), but I can't see how they could affect this :)

- if(!strchr(path, '/'))
+ if(!strchr(path, '/') && !strchr(path, ':')) /* check for ':' - detect full path on windows platform*/
 

Or... I don't have idea like check windows absolutly paths. Maybe: second and third characters must be ":\" or smth like that.
