SaveGlobal function does not save "/" character correctly

[Andre Novellino Gouvêa]

The "std::string SaveGlobal(lua_State *l, bool is_root, std::vector<std::string> &blockTableNames)" function, in script.cpp, does not save the "/" character correctly in strings, potentially causing crashes when a game is loaded. For example, if we have the following string:

"The name \"Marcomanni\" means \"march-men\", or \"frontier-men\"."

...it will be saved as:

"The name "Marcomanni" means "march-men", or "frontier-men"."

...which will cause a crash upon game load.

Try to use "\\" combination to save "\" symbol

Wouldn't that just mean that the crash would happen after loading two games, instead of one?

When loading the first game, "\\" would be converted to "\". And then, if the player saves the game again, this new save will become corrupt (because the "\" will disappear), and cause a crash upon loading.

Fixed in rev.8963
