Failing string comparison

There is also a bug with DOOR textures. XML:BINA/OBJC/DOOR#tags

We could try to capitalize everything, maybe that helps. --paradox-01 (talk) 12:12, 14 May 2020 (CEST)

Can someone describe the bug in more detail so I can take a look? --geyser (talk) 14:39, 14 May 2020 (CEST)

Oh, OK, silly me, I should have read the TRGV page to learn about the string comparison bug. However, I don't understand how the TRGV string comparison is related to DOOR textures (DOOR textures are a permanent level setting, nothing to do with BSL - right?) --geyser (talk) 16:20, 14 May 2020 (CEST)

Basically "String" eq "String" returns false when one expression is delivered by TV and one expression delivered from a 'native' BSL variable.

Maybe the comparison fails because at some side (left or right) the string is made toUpper. We have seen a similar bug when the engine reads texture names.

So the idea is that "STRING" eq "STRING" might work, just maybe. --paradox-01 (talk) 16:25, 14 May 2020 (CEST)

The analogy to Doors would be that "String(fromCJBO)" eq "String(fromTextureFileName)" fails because of the bugged comparison. (The code for comparison might be used at both locations - BSL and Door. --paradox-01 (talk) 16:26, 14 May 2020 (CEST)
