King (kingpaul) Assigned to: Martijn Verburg (karianna) Summary: PREMOVE doesn't use the PRExxx standard Initial Comment: Per http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/message/78502 <quote who="Eric Beaudoin"> > PREMOVE should be modified to accept the normal > PRExxx standard i.e. its syntax should be: > > PREMOVE:<number require>,<list of move entries and > values>, <list of move entries and values> is a coma > separated list of <move>=<number> > > PREMOVE:2,Fly=30,Swim=10 should mean a > requirement of have a Fly move of at least 30 and a > Swim move of at least 10. > > The existing syntax should be silently deprecated i.e. > it is accepted by PCGEN without any error or warning > message but the doc is update to only show the > proper syntax. This will allow every home files and non- > PCGenDM files out there to keep working without a > glitch. Silently deprecating is a bad idea. If you silently deprecate something then nobody knows it has been deprecated until it is 'obseleted' and no longer works. Deprecation is a warning that the feature is no longer used and will be removed at some point in the future so its use should be changed now to avoid future problems. I do not know of a system that uses silent deprecation. Even something like Java will inform you: "There have been uses of deprecated code. Recompile with deprecation turned on to see the details" if you do not want to see the deprecatation warnings. I would be quite happy with PCGen just showing a "There have been tags used that are deprecated, please run PCGen with '-deprecation' to see the details of these warnings". But not not letting the user know that there has been an error is a bad thing. - -- regards, Frugal - -OS Chimp === Paul W.
