Hello. Thanks for your interest in Crossfire :)
Concerning the first point, I'd say Windows is relevant (though having statistics on clients running Windows would be nice), others I don't know. For point 2), not sure, I think the code is globally ANSI C. See next point though :) And for point 3), that's another can of worm entirely :) My personal reply would be "right now I can more about content and gameplay than code, so let's forget refactorings until we really need it (hitting a wall the current code can't handle, for instance). :) Regards Nicolas Le samedi 19 avril 2014 10:46:34, Tolga Dalman a écrit : > Dear community, > > first of all: thank you very much for your efforts in the development of > crossfire.
