I made a new test.pz3, explicitly using texture references enclosed in quotes mixed with unquoted references, and tested the new script. It works. All references get converted to absolute. The new script is in the link.

P.S.: I'm glad I made the script as verbose as it is, it allowed me to find the error.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
