Comment 1 Ryan C. Gordon 2005-11-01 17:44:11 EST 
Can you send me a URL for the specific mod you are using?

--ryan.
Comment 2 Ryan C. Gordon 2005-11-07 08:20:08 EST 
Believe this to be fixed in the next build.

--ryan.
Comment 3 John Kennington 2005-11-07 08:23:15 EST 
Thanks, Ryan.  I appreciate the email.  Now....the question of the hours is.....
Comment 4 John Kennington 2006-04-14 07:40:32 EDT 
It appears this issue is back with 1.2a.  I have experienced the same with the latest version of powerserver (http://www.wormsworld.net).  I am using powerserver 0.9d.  

I believe it has to do with the _teams.gsc file.  I know that the modder is looking at the issue now.
Comment 5 Ryan C. Gordon 2006-06-30 09:27:06 EDT 
This is definitely fixed in 1.3 (if not earlier).
