One of the things we should do for 2.0 (note: we are not yet at 1.9) is try to decrease bandwith usage. For instance, some animations are cylical, and the server knows which ones these are currently IIRC. The server shouldn't have to send a update for every tile every time for cylical animations, the client should beable to work this feat IMHO.
Also if we can make some commands that are 4 bytes long (north south etc) or other longish commands shorter that might be good too. (We should keep backwards compat here maybe thought, so if a client says it's not 2.0+ it gets to use the old, easier to parse, stuff). Plots should go in at 1.9 I guess. Crossedit could be gtkized for 2.0. or after. (I'm not against updating crossedit, I am against removing it). Maybe some new spells too? Circular spells ect (kinda like a circle of protection of fireballs spining around you etc). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
