are unit tag are changed ?

[albator]

I understood all unit tag (eg armstump for "arm stumpy") have been renamed for "better understanding them" or whatever. Can you guys provide a mapping between the old and the new one ? For all player who have to reconfigure scripts (e.g. autogroup), it is a mess. Python would be best but any format would do it.

Or you guys have something similar to http://modinfo.adune.nl/ ?

This change breaks almost every widget in existence, pretty sad.

I recommend using dnGREP tool. it performs a global find and replace cycle. You can fix all widgets that depend on these ids this way.

Lots of widgets are no longer maintained, this change makes that worse

[[Fx]Doo]

User widgets aren't maintained by BA devs, and we have very little control over them.
We are not discouraging their use, but their maintenance is to be performed by their authors/users.

There is a wide set of widgets that are provided with BA, which are being maintained. You might want to check for duplicates in your own user widgets, since they will override the ones packed with BA, and not benefit from the updates.

Alternatively, PtaQ mentionned dngrep which is efficient at replacing unitnames with the new ones in your user widgets.

did an edit cause made mistake in the list btw armban -> corban

You are right- lets make a regEx-Converter widget, which rewrites all names in widgets on gameload. Why does nobody ever go for the easy solutions?
