The original game used to get twitchy about all sorts of names for maps. I tend to keep things close to the original, just make sure the filename is 8 digits long.

So, using your example (SPACEBAR can annoy it too):
Before: Cool Map v1.2
After (Win95): CoolMp12
After (Modern): CoolMapV12

I hope this solves your issue.

There is a reason behind why [SPACEBAR] and [PERIOD] annoy the game, it's because the Remaster is meant to be based on the original game. The original game used to have to read various filetypes so would look for the [PERIOD] as a sort of que to know what to do. That's my understanding at least.
