Actually, i'd chose b too - i think i meant that, when plugin finished, server can send fix_player or fix_object to the client, meaning the plugin can just not care. > but at some level, it can never be 100% foolproof.

Guess there should be checks at many levels in the plugin code :) (server <-> common plugin lib <-> Pyhton plugin for instance) Nicolas _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
