[Wesnoth-dev] Warning -- I am about to break the Windows and MacOS ports!

Bruno Wolff III [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I noticed the description for the SotBE campaign uses the term tree-shagger to refer to elves. For a mailine campaign it might be better to use a more family friendly term such as tree-hugger. Um...they's *orcs*, not Sunday-school teachers! --

Rusty Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED]: But since orcs aren't supposed to be polite, I assumed this was deliberate. It was quite deliberate. When I reworked the SotBE prose, I spent some time thinking up Orcish epithets for the other speaking peoples. Human-worms, stinky-midgets, tree-shaggers --

It's been our long-standing practice to try to keep mainline generally unobjectionable— in ways that don't compromise the fundamental nature of Wesnoth. In other words we don't attempt to make people happy who dislike *all* depictions of violence, but we do try to keep *unnecessary* things out

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've done a quick test at work under Windows XP, i could create a %main.cfg file. The next step should a fix for the get_files_in_dir() to make it detect and handle %main.cfg as Unix does. If it is really a problem we should probably use some more
