  • don't accept \" for escaping a double quote, because no engines accept it.

FTE supports \" and has done for a while. I don't see many maps actually needing it (so qbsp warning that its probably not supported is fine), but saved games are much more likely to need it. and yes, its a significant issue when maps contain "wad "c:\path" with no actual wad name.

for the wad key specifically it might be a good idea to just strip the paths (after loading it, obviously), or even the entire key (unless -notex was used, which may still need it). This would significantly reduce the frequency of warnings.
