[Rails-devel] Progress on 1880 merge into Rails 2.0, but still open issues

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

I have made some more progress to remove bugs that still exist in 1880 
from the merge into Rails 2.0. Most of them were related to the fact 
that executed actions are checked against allowed actions.

However it seems that the code base used to merge 1880 into Rails 2.0 
did not include everything up-to Rails 1.8.7:

Especially some svg tiles are missing and the xml definitions deviate.
I do not know exactly how this could happen, as they should have been 
identical at the start of the merge.

In addition there are a lot of keys missing in LocalisedText.properties
for 1880, which is not the case in Rails 1.8.7.

An example what is missing are the svg-files for tiles 455,-9021,-9031.

Those belonged to commit 3f9305 from two years ago, which was based on 
a patch from Martin commited by Erik.

However I cannot simply cherry-pick this commit, as it also contains 
many changes to the java classes, which later on have changed again.

Could anyone of you double-check what happened and give an indication 
which patches/components are still missing?

Otherwise I will simply add those files that are obviously missing (svg) 
and will compare the *.xml definition files and LocalisedText properties 
and edit them manually.

===> Imporant remark:
Please keep in mind, that I will only do this once 1880. I will not do 
this for any future game that is developed from now on under Rails 1.x.

This is a lot of work to do to narrow down all those little bits and now 
that Rails 2.0 is really close to finalize, there is no reason to keep 
working on Rails 1.x.

And I for sure do not want to repeat this experience. ;-)

To make things easier, I will give more information what are best 
practices to implement a new game in Rails 2.0. However I want to have 
Rails 2.0 out of the door, before I seriously start writing about it.
In the meantime best thing to do, is simply asking.
