What's with the screaming all caps? Since the above documentation was written at the same time as the faulty code I was fixing, I could not trust it to be correct (even if I had known about it). > I'm proposing another change that restores backwards-compatibility: > rename the column to "available_to_humans", and have "5" or "YES" be > available to humans (and every template is available to AIs).

That will break compatibility with mods that have been written or modified since beta10, though, since they will have zero for player id. > There is very little potential for bugs in this change, and is quite a > minor change compared to, say, rewriting the template code, and I > believe it is worth it, for backwards compatibility. There are not that many mods that work with 2.3 anyway. I'd estimate half of them are already adapted (NTW, Dydo). Perhaps it is easier to just fix the 1-2 mods that exist and are still not adapted? - Per _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
