why?

Post by CobraA1 »

From SVN logs:

"Update the documentation: The 'owner' attribute was renamed to 'm1' long ago"

Question: Why did we change the name to something nonsensical in the first place?

I found this using google:
http://svn.openttd.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi ... c?rev=2886
Rename the "owner" attribute to "m1", because when it stores an owner it is accessed by [GS]etOwner anyway and when it doesn't store an owner, but arbitrary data, accessing a field called "owner" is confusing.
