Maps in folders with # in the file path break some pathability rules and can desync

[Pyrogasm]

Maybe the OP posted again but if they didn't here's an attempt to gain visibility: What is "path component index out of bounds" fatal error?

Absolutely sure! Put # in folder name, you can now build on path and will consistently crash if you play with other people, remove # and all is fixed. Works with Pumpkin TD and Blacksmith TD so far, probably triggers all kinds of interesting bugs in other maps.

Edit: Tried a few maps, works in most TDs

Hahaha

Sorry for the necropost, but I just found this thread today and decided to do some testing with it for multiplayer. Here are my findings:

When the host hosts the map from # folder, if the other players that join the lobby also have the map in a # folder, no one desyncs. If the other players DON'T have the map in a # folder, they will desync.

When I hosted my map from a normal non-# folder, I had the other tester join with the map in a # folder on his end, and it did not prompt a re-download, and I was the one that desynced. He still stayed in the map.
