All that needs to be done is to go through all of the on-disk formats, save-game and others, and make sure that the right endian_*() functions are called right before saving the file to disk and right after reading it, for every element of the structure. These problems are why I had suggested XML a while back. Most of the crashes on the Mac version of Warzone have been related to issues with things being loaded from disk and having a different value than when they were saved, and some are harder to track down than others. The network code is the other place that I know is being changed heavily but that right now has endian issues. Maybe in the next couple months we can get it to the point where Mac players can play the trunk version and even play against other people online. And that's where the *real* fun in Warzone begins. :) Ari _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
