You usually can see what mod they were using by looking at the searchpath (which is only dumped to stdout for --debug=something), so we should include that in the dumps. In case we cannot deliver that data in the crashdumps, maybe we want to set some "TAINTED" variable when a mod is loaded, so we know we are not dealing with an unmodified game.
And how mods were dealt with in the GameSpy era: I think everyone had to have the exact same mod (not development version, not unpacked, etc), so that WZ could compare the checksums. Since that is already broken by linebreaks, I would still propose a simple versioning scheme. (One number, if number does not match, refuse to play.) --DevU
