@AdamTadeusz Is this PR ready for re-review?

[AdamTadeusz]

I can see I accidentally changed the default background but other than that yes. I should probably gitignore that file now that its generated automatically

[AdamTadeusz]

Now I'm confused because it is in .gitignore already, maybe it only takes effect once its merged in?

That's strange (.gitignore is supposed to take effect immeditately). Well, I'll just proceed with this review for now but we should probably investigate this. Could be some kind of a strange syntax issue?

.gitignore is also case-sensitive so that's worth double-checking. (Edit: not quite true; please see discussion below...)

@AdamTadeusz Is there a chance your version of ChapterBackgrounds.txt doesn't follow what exact capitalization in the gitignore? As a follow-up on the gitignore problem.

This might not show up on the OS filesystem if you're using Windows, since it (NTFS) is not aware of filename casing at all.

Its in camelcase on my end like in the gitignore

(Edit) PascalCase actually

Actually I misspoke, it seems it depends on git config core.ignorecase rather than the platform FS. I don't quite know off the top of my head whether this is portable for Linux/Win development.

Hmm, very strange. Thanks for following up on it though.

I guess this is becoming somewhat offtopic for this PR so I'll leave it at that, but if we re-encounter this problem in the future, then it's probably worth raising a bug ticket for, so that we can figure out the root cause.

Verified that when looking at the menu, the names of the maps are more readable than the integer numbers that were previously there in other builds. Also changed the background map, and checked that the associated map is loaded after restarting the game.
