“pos_target” entity needs “target_name” field but “target_name” is deprecated and replacement “name” is not recognized

[illwieckz]

Hi, this is an entity example stolen from the work-in-progress freeway map by @JacksonTech:

// entity 65
{
"classname" "pos_target"
"origin" "7760.000000 -1204.000000 96.000000"
"targetname" "pos_target2"
}

If I run the map with this entity as-is, Unvanquished says:

Warning: Entity #65 contains deprecated field targetname — use name instead

But if I replace the deprecated targetname keyword with the recommended name keyword as requested:

// entity 65
{
"classname" "pos_target"
"origin" "7760.000000 -1204.000000 96.000000"
"name" "pos_target2"
}

This name keyword is not recognized, Unvanquished says:

Warning: Entity (pos_target|#65) needs a name, so other entities can target it — Removing it.

It means #664 can't be fixed yet since up-to-date entity code is broken.

Not sure if adding a label adds a GH notification, so dropping a comment just in case it does not: is it still true?

I doubt anything has been done.

Problem is, the issues are not really easy to track nor updated often. Those days, I closed more than a handful of old ones (originally, there were more than 305, we are at 290 now, and few were added since I did the 1st cleanup), so I'm checking when I'm a bit bored.

I believe it's related to #1850 somehow
