#13 Quake2forge: Fix server video loading
There is a bug whereby, on some systems, when a command such as "map *ntro.cin+base1" (as it is when starting Quake2 vanilla, defined in default.cfg) is issued, the server gives the error that it can't find "maps/ntro.inn.bsp" even though "video/ntro.cin" exists. After hacking at this problem for a couple hours, I finally fixed it in two lines; the problem lies in how the strings are used.
I am unsure what caused this problem to surface in one of my machines and not the other (they both had exactly the same software), but this patch fixes the problem on the one that was having it, and doesn't affect the one that wasn't having it. Due to how I solved this problem, it would lead me to believe that this was a simple programming mistake.
Apply this patch to the git head and videos will work.
