CMA saves settings for each city. "Player attribute" packets are used for this (saving arbitrary client data). See doc/README.attributes. For a long time attributes are considered overkill, and there has been plans to remove them completely. Only because nobody has found time to actually remove them, have they survived. If you *do* need them, be sure to make that known by everyone who might otherwise remove them. I have never thought of endianness issue, but now you mention it... network code handles attributes as byte arrays, so yes, endianness issues of 16, 32, and 64 bit values must be handled in such a code part that knows what attribute block actually contains. - ML _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
