Follow-up Comment #3, bug #15499 (project freeciv): still working on it. There are some strange things happening. I have compiled 2.2.0 and S2_2 with the patch and I'm trying to test the combination old server - new client. I added only an additional output line printing client.conn.capability to handle_chat_msg(). Somethere the server changed its capabilities ... ?
Copied from the client message window: Client capability string: +2.2b trade_illness Server capability string: +2.2b Welcome to the Freeciv version 2.2.0+ Server running at mattsys port 9876. Server capability string [handle_chat_msg]: +2.2b Server capability string [handle_chat_msg]: +2.2b (server prompt): 'save testgame' Server capability string [handle_chat_msg]: +2.2b You are logged in as 'matthias' connected to no player. Server capability string [handle_chat_msg]: +2.2b trade_illness Established control over the server. You have command access level 'hack'. I'm a little bit lost at the moment about this combination * new server - new client OK; overall illness is the sum of the parts * new server - old client kind of OK; overall illness shown in the city dialog is OK (value from the server); illness shown in the popup is missing the illness due to trade as value and in the sum * old server - new client See the problem explained above; due to the change of the capability string the value within the packet is used as illness due to trade and the overall illness value is doubled. In this combination the value _should_ be ignored. Thus, within the city window and within the popup only the overall illness values minus trade illness would be displayed. > > old server - old client I know that this combination is not needed; but as reference it helps to show the changes done to the code. Attached my current patch for S2_2.
