I thought I'd carefully segregated my beta and release .txt files but I see I've made a mistake with monstats.txt at least. This is probably because I didn't immediately extract it when release came out, and likely selected the older patch.mpq when I did.
Naturally I've gone and corrected this by re-extracting all the .txt files I have/use fresh.
Most of my tests on various things are unlikely to be tainted, because every test I do I wipe the D2 data directory clean and xfer only those .txt files that I currently tweak/test (letting D2 grab all the .bins).
But this may be one of those "mold in the petri dish" luck-outs... since my test almost certainly was using the 50% value (unless there is an "outdated" code reject for .txt files, in any way, ever), I may have stumbled onto something odd I would not have thought to test for otherwise.
I'll add re-doing the tests with the correct .txt files to my "to do" list.
Isn't peer review wonderful! :D
Thanks again.
