03:31:47 <mrX> shadowm: how does ATS_MAINTAINER_MODE work?
[...]
03:32:44 <shadowm> mrX: you have asked me this at least five times before
03:33:12 <mrX> um....I did?
03:33:17 <shadowm> yes
03:33:54 <mrX> I know it's used to bypass things like {END_OF_PLAYABLE_SCENARIOS}, and it's probably some kind of macro....
03:34:05 <mrX> but that's it
03:34:33 <shadowm> you should be able to reverse-engineer the mechanism
03:34:36 <shadowm> it's very simple
03:34:40 <shadowm> dead simple, in fact
03:35:17 <mrX> humm
03:36:33 <shadowm> seriously ¬_¬
03:42:07 <mrX> I'm lost
03:42:17 <mrX> as far as I can see it's a macro defined
03:42:25 <mrX> somewhere....
03:42:36 <mrX> but as for the conditions....I have no idea
03:42:59 <shadowm> who said macros needed conditions to be defined?
03:43:35 <mrX> they don't...but it has to be included somewhere...
03:44:24 <shadowm> ah, but discovering the location in AtS is about 90% of the fun
03:44:53 <shadowm> of course if you are intending to reuse that in your own campaign (otherwise you'd not be asking me this, I presume) you don't need to do it exactly like I did
[...]
03:47:31 <mrX> wait....it's in base-maintenance.cfg isn't it
03:47:50 <shadowm> a grep for base-maintenance.cfg gives zero results
03:47:53 <mrX> you have it in you local copy of AtS
[...]
03:48:14 <shadowm> nope, I don't have such a file
03:48:22 <shadowm> :x
03:48:28 <mrX> ok well it.has.to.be.somewhere!
03:48:50 <shadowm> ooooo, you are determined to discover the source of the magicks
03:48:53 <shadowm> I like that attitude
03:48:57 <mrX> it's obviously not included in one of the existing ones
03:49:03 <mrX> grep says so
03:50:35 <mrX> so obviously only you must have its definition
03:51:49  * shadowm hops across the room
03:51:55 <shadowm> ^_^
[...]
03:53:24 <mrX> I seem to remember there once was an #ifhave
03:53:34  * shadowm hops more.
03:54:14 <mrX> that included the seemingly-now-deleted base-maintenance.cfg
03:54:16 <mrX> so......
[...]
03:57:41 <mrX> shadowm: you have it defined in some file only you have. that must be it
03:57:54  * shadowm grins at mrX
03:58:03  * shadowm hops more across the room
03:59:03 <mrX> base-maint.cfg
03:59:54 <shadowm> This is awsomely hilarious.
04:00:00 <mrX> it says so in _server.ign
[...]
04:01:10 <mrX> GOT IT
04:01:32 <mrX> I  the #ifhave
04:01:50 <mrX> found*
04:01:57 <shadowm> Was it worth it?
04:02:52 <mrX> I guess
04:02:59 <mrX> so....
04:03:17  * shadowm giggles
04:03:56 <shadowm> Do you need the file, or did you already figure out (and consequently ruin) the magicks?
[...]
05:10:51 <mrX> shadowm: ahh file would be nice
05:11:09 <mrX> Aethaeryn: heeheehee it's winter here...but still rains
05:29:11 <shadowm> mrX: http://shadowm.rewound.net/f/base-maint.cfg
05:29:21 <shadowm> don't tell me I didn't warn you, later
05:30:07 <mrX> *facepalm* *headdesk*
05:30:11 <mrX> *headwall*
05:30:19 <mrX> *headfacekeyboard*
