Problems locating correct map, when maps have somewhat similar names

    Operating system: Ubuntu Server x86 (no gui)
    Build number: #1013 and earlier
    Description:
    When you have two maps in a mapcycle, with very similar names (in my case World.png and World2.png), only one of said maps will ever load (Even after specifying a path with /loadmap <path>), unless you change the name of the maps to not have such similar names. I don't have much detail about how these file names may conflict.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Get two maps (in the same folder?) with similar names (IE World.png and World2.png).
    2. Refer to these maps in your mapcycle.
    3. Start server.
    4. Log into server.
    5. Attempt to change maps.
     
  2. can someone test it?

    This is indeed a thing, though the full path (extension included) should work

    This is worth testing again, my filematcher changes that fixed some issues on the linux build might fix this one too.

    Well it's "fixed" in the sense that it won't match World2 instead of World, but it still will match world.png instead of World.png.
    But I guess it is not required to have the file matcher care about the capitalization and I think it's handled as a conflict for mods anyway.
    So, archived
