Summary0002480: doomseeker adds unnecessary "" to blank commands
Descriptionsorry im terrible at naming these things, anyways:

when hosting a zan 3.0 server and for example leaving the MOTD field blank, rcon sv_motd will show """" instead of "" like in 2.1.2

so upon joining the server the motd of "" will display

so far ive found doomseeker will do this for: sv_hostname and everything under the "misc." tab, if anything else is affected then im unaware of it
Steps To Reproducehost a zan 3.0 server with doomseeker's MOTD field blank
sv_motd in rcon, notice it displays """"
connect to the server, notice the motd displays ""

repeat with a zan 2.1.2 server, notice this doesnt happen
Additional Informationat first i thought this was a zan issue, so if its of any help, here is the commit that introduced this behavior:'https://bitbucket.org/Torr_Samaho/zandronum/commits/0229459693ec6aa189cc0d5cb0158899b1db9f49 [^]'

 Fix pointed out here is the root cause for the issue:
'http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=33763 [^]'

To be precise, the game behavior is 100% correct. However, I have no friggin idea how to clear the value of a CVAR now.

Passing a blank string: `+sv_motd ""` won't do. The game will load sv_motd from config.

Passing \0 in the string sort of works: `+sv_motd "\0"`. It was working quite nicely until I discovered that it crashes connecting clients:

Right now I have no idea how to make the game interpret a blank field in the way the user would expect to. I want a blank field to blank the in game variable too, but the game is highly uncooperative here.

 Thanks to this GZDoom/Zandronum fix I was able to handle both Zandronum 2 and Zandronum 3 in Doomseeker properly. User will need to take care to pick the proper game version in the "Zandronum" tab when creating new game.

I will wait for the next Zandronum beta before marking this as "needs testing".

 Can be tested on beta update channel. This will only work properly with Zandronum 3.0-alpha-170205-2117 or later. Zandronum version must be set to "Zandronum 3 (beta)" in the "Create Game" box.
