The expression for exposing the number of cards in a deck : $Deck_numPieces$ does not appear to be a module level property
Trying to expose this property on another game piece located in a different mapboard using a text label, results in the text label just displaying “Deck_numPieces” instead of the actual value.
Could we have this property adjusted to the module level?
The $Deck_numPieces$ property is a Map level property, not a module level property.
I have a fix done I was saving for 3.2 that implements a namespace for map and zone properties so that you can reference the property as follows:
$mapname.Deck_numPieces$
A Zone property would be referenced with $mapname.zonename.propertName$.
It’s not a big change, perhaps I can bring it forward?
No, there may already exist modules that depend of Deck names being Map level.
Regards,
Brent.

I think it would be good to bring this and the other little fixes you have
made forward (DP change, Audio mp3 etc…).
We are still in beta and these small modifications should not break
underlying core anymore than the bugs that are being found already

Do we need some way of scoping properties in order to stop having problems
like this?

How are those ImageOp changes going so I can get the Game Piece Images sorted out?
Thanks,

They’re done, and have been since the week before last, but I need about an
hour with internet access to get them commented and committed, and I just
can’t get that right now. If I’ve finished my slides by the time I’m on
my way to Australia, I might do the remaining commenting on the plane.

Yeah, in the last four days, I’ve been in Liverpool, Stratford-upon-Avon,
Oxford, and London. I’m about to leave Stratford to go back to Amsterdam.
On Saturday morning I fly to Australia. I spent all of April in Paris, I
was in Portugal for a week in May and then Toulouse for two weeks, and have
been to Chicago on two separate trips in June and July. I’m back in Paris
for four days at the end of October. There is some point beyond which I no
longer enjoy travelling, and I’m well past that point for the year.

If you manage to check in any code while in the air, be sure to add your approximate longitude/latitude to the commit comment.

And mention to the flight attendant that you’ve been using your wireless connection. They love it when you do that.

I said I was going to do the remaining commenting on the plane, not
checking in code… though now it’s looking more like I’ll be making
my slides instead. The past month has been such a train wreck.
It’s not like you’d be able to see any access points from six miles above
them, since its too far away and you’re zooming by them too fast, and anyway
a lot of antennas aren’t omnidirectional.

I was thinking of a wimax card. E.g.,
http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpInt_Access.page?userType=NEW#fragment-2
If a mobile can work from a plane, I suspect that you can get one of those to work to. As for zooming by them too fast, that’s actually the only argument I’ve heard against not allowing you to use mobiles on a plane: The towers can handle it, but if a lot of people were doing it, the network would grind to a halt. The idea that the plane will crash is a myth that’s been proven false many times.

You’ve never come across the argument about driving otherwise peaceful
people to violence, huh? I find that one pretty compelling.

Maybe I’m missing something, but is the namespace scoping thing commited? I’m on 3.2.13 and I can’t seem to be able to use it.
