Is there any reason the @ screen has to be so long or changed from
the way it looks in 1.03 since the beta testing is done ?

I could pull the first three lines off. They can be found elsewhere. The next three lines are there to let players know if the server is overloaded. I could also pull the last line. That was for beta purposes. So I can get it down to 5 total lines.

Its nice that your willing to make more changes .. but the thing I was concerned
about was concistancy , there has been many changes to this screen.

once a trigger was set to : Average Interval Lag:
or it was set to : hundredths

and yet later it had to be : Server v
to determine which version it was now that the script has to tend with.

We scripters can deal with it , its those with the .cts that will probably have
the most problems.

I was only asking because I recall someone say that the screen will
return to whatever state it was in before beta testing , after its finally released.

So if you want to leave the @ screen long , it wont bother me ..
I've moved on to another way of sync controlling of scripts.

I just feel bad for those who have older scripts and now have to
look at 8 to 10 lines of text because someone used '@'
to keep thinks in check (timing).

That's the only reason I asked.

The state of the screen reflects internal changes to the game. The screen showed a measure of how much time was spent in background processing. That mechanism is gone and the new values represent new mechanisms. These were major internal changes and they won't be changing again any time soon if at all. So there will be consistency. But it should change as part of this major new version.
