The observer code is all messed up. Even the server does not reliably use the POBSERV or the other flag (I forgot which, PFOBS or something). When we first expanded the observer count to 16 with arbitrary slots being assigned to the observers, it caused problems with a lot of clients. That's why the server enforces observers to be in slot g or higher. This is a problem that is more general than good observer support. Popular clients like BRMH and COW 2.0 All the clients really need to be moved to the same network code base. That way, recent changes to that code (such as support for cambot) would propagate to other clients. -- Dave Ahn | ahn at vec.wfubmc.edu | Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
