Stop unitsync from bundling the version with the modname

Post by Forboding Angel »

[06:21:33] <LadderBot> modname: Evolution RTS
[06:21:33] <LadderBot> Blacklisted options ( if a value is present for a key, such value won't be allowed ):
[06:21:57] <BrainDamage> modname is wrong
[06:22:08] <BrainDamage> it has to contain the version
[06:22:16] <BrainDamage> it matches exactly the name
[06:22:17] <[Evo]Forboding_Angel> Assuming it uses modname from modinfo.lua, it's correct
[06:22:21] <BrainDamage> no
[06:22:34] <[Evo]Forboding_Angel> augh
[06:22:35] <BrainDamage> unitsync automatically appends the version
[06:22:41] <BrainDamage> to modname
[06:22:49] <BrainDamage> it's rather silly actually
[06:23:04] <[Evo]Forboding_Angel> no way to use wildcards in the modname?
[06:23:07] <[Evo]Forboding_Angel> :-(
[06:23:17] <BrainDamage> patches welcome :p
[06:23:27] <[Evo]Forboding_Angel> well wait
[06:23:32] <[Evo]Forboding_Angel> if that doesn't work
[06:23:41] <[Evo]Forboding_Angel> then why did it join my game without complaining?
[06:24:09] <BrainDamage> there's a function to check options
[06:24:11] <BrainDamage> run it
[06:24:20] <BrainDamage> it's able to join any game
[06:24:36] <BrainDamage> it can switch ladder on the fly
[06:24:47] <[Evo]Forboding_Angel> oh
[06:24:51] <[Evo]Forboding_Angel> well crud
[06:25:05] <[Evo]Forboding_Angel> That means it only works with "Latest" versions
[06:25:17] <[Evo]Forboding_Angel> sigh, time to make a feature request

When you do it FA, also don't forget to disable mod and map hash checks when running in dedicated server.

Not disable, but compare players' hashes against each other.

lua it.

That was a pretty good troll, right?

Anyway:

- User asks something
- Devs tell him to do it himself

Maybe it is better to be nicer?

Thats too hard, we need it to be fixed about 3 years ago :(

Simplest fix is to not check hash if host hash is 0.
