Hokay! I think I'll choose...... Door Number 2, Rob!!
I know there's no timescale in place for 1.1 yet, but I'm now
definitely looking forward to it, if it'll solve this thorny issue
o' mine!!
Just a quick check though - I take it that there are no issues
around the ruleset strategy? I think my plan now is going to be that
I'll write the per-character rulesets, deprecate them to
visible="no" once 1.1 is out and the new rules are in place, then
remove them from the .def after a while to 'tidy up'. I know that if
Card Vault doesn't find a ruleset, then it defaults to the norm -
will that be the case in ongoing versions?
Regards,
Steve!
