Re: CF: A bug in pupland/server code? Re:Pupland map bug???

[Seikoh Nishita <snishita@cs.takushoku-u.ac.jp>]

I'm one of the Pupland map designers.
I thank you for playing Pupland. :)

These maps have the same kind of boulders-buttons-gates combinations.
(Dear, Hwei Sheng TEOH. Please expand the editor-window, and you'll
 find them :)
I've checked these files and I found they've never changed since v0.94.0,
when I was sure to work well. I also found these maps doesn't work
well now, because the button specification in the crossfire may be
changed. 

I put an item on a small button in these maps by using editor, while I
expect the item to press the button and to open a gate connected to
the button. In old version of cf, it worked well. But in v0.95.4, it
doesn't work. Immediately after server opens a map file, Buttons and
gates in it won't be activate will it?

I'm not sure it is a specification. (?_?)
If it is, I'll fix these maps.
