1) Many many thanks for the DIFFMOD change.
I also discovered that the EASIEST difficulty also gives all party characters a +6 bonus to luck. I will externalise this too.
TobEx optimises the code used for setting and finding variables. The variable map hash function uses the djb2 algorithm.
You can google the djb2 algorithm. It just uses a better method of calculating the hash for each variable name and increases the number of buckets available before things get full a bit earlier, which reduces the amount of overhead, particularly when there are too many variables. There is a topic I think here where Suslik did most of the work.
3) I take it you'd still advise only the official (albeit beta) releases to be included in released mods, so I should hold off including this version for now?
We are getting to an official release. I need confirmation that I haven't broken anything, which is usually based on time.
I encountered this poison bug in my install of an already heavily modded game, so updating ToBEX is not really an option. Is there any way I can correct that typo myself in my current install? In what file can I find the faulty line and how do I edit it?
You can chuck the most recent test release TobEx.dll in to your install directory. You computer might explode though...
j/k
