Title: Bug: Help file correction
Post by: RickJ on Mon 12/05/2003 17:50:19
The RunAGSGame() variable "game.previous_game_data" is not listed in the "Variables" section of the help file.

Hmm, good point.

However, since that variable is only useful when used with RunAGSGame, I'm not sure it's really necessary to add to the global variables index.

You'd read the whole description of RunAGSGame before using it, so I don't think it needs to be mentioned seperately.

Maybe there should be a sticky "Help file bugs" post because many of them have been reported.

I think the problem with that is it would encourage people to post "bugs", even when the manual was correct. Look what happened to the Suggestions sticky we had - it just got out of control.

I think it's best to leave it as is, so people have to make a new thread for problems - it should mean only the important issues get fixed - I really don't want to waste my time correcting minor spelling mistakes in the manual.

I only mentioned it because it falls into those class of things that are more difficult to know about than they are to fix.  I just thought you would want to know ...
