Can't start episode if map's name is > than 8 characters

[Fishytza]

Did some tests regarding maps to see if this works.

Turns out if you define an episode with a map that has a name longer than 8 characters, it never loads because ZDoom never seems to read anything past the first 8 characters.

For instance, If I had a map called icecreamfactory(.wad) (in the maps folder of a pk3) and try to load it via episode selection it would give this error:

Could not find map ICECREAM

The code would look like this:

Code: Select all

Episode icecreamfactory
{
	name = ":("
}

It doesn't seem to matter if I put it in quotes or add the extension or even the whole path ("maps/icecreamfactory.wad").

Tested with ZDoom 2.8pre-453-g8c05281

Oh well, seems there's still some hidden spots where stuff gets truncated...
