VDF tokens only need to be wrapped in quote marks if they contain whitespace. However, DuctTape will refuse to load a file that isn't 100% quotemark-ed up!

When writing soundscapes, materials etc. I never waste time typing the quote marks unless they're needed, so this is bug really screwing me around.

I assume your talking about Steam/config/SteamAppData.vdf? If not, please be more specific. I'm not sure why you'd need to edit that file. Nevertheless, you are right. It was set to reject non-quoted by design because Steam always writes it quoted. I have changed it to allow non-quoted tokens. (very easy change)

The SVN has been updated to reflect the change (rev. 55).

VDF is the name of the format Valve use for all their scripts. And thanks. :)

When you said you'd changed "it", did you mean script parsing in general or that particular file? :P My custom soundscape file still produces an error.
