[Not a bug] v.cachePatch ignores lowercase characters

[Lactozilla]

The uppercase counterpart of the lump name is returned instead.

Can you provide an example script to replicate the issue?

 

[Lactozilla]

hud.add(function(v)
         v.draw(160, 160, v.cachePatch("PLAYa2a8")) -- will draw "PLAYA2A8"
end)

This is intentional so I'm aware, the internal code involved with caching general patch lumps is case-insensitive. We're not going to fix this for v.cachePatch and v.PatchExists, they weren't designed for sprites in the first place anyway. (I've been working on new Lua video library functions to get sprite patches in a much better way for 2.2 anyway, especially considering the changes to character skins.)

Not a bug -- this is how the Doom engine works.
