but at least a message when TP failed that tell users some info would be a good idea. People need to stop useing the older versions.<br>

After 0.8 is released, people are going to be setting up varregions. You cannot TP from older code, to a varregion - you *will* crash. People won't know, necessarily, that the destination region is a varregion - only that their viewer crashed on TP. There will be many complaints about TPing being broken by 0.8.<br>

I understand that this cannot be fixed. But I strongly believe it should be made to gracefully fail, at least. Only the 0.8 code would have to change, I think, to accomplish this.<br>
<br>
LiruCookies, Nebadon and I were discussing this in IRC. Liru suggested (I'm paraphrasing) the addition of some innocuous message, function or something, into the teleport process between regions running 0.8 and later code, that would be missing from the teleport process as initiated by older code. The lack of that item would cause the 0.8 region to gracefully refuse the TP and send a message back as to why.<br>
<br>
This may not be the exact way to handle it, but I think it would work and I really do believe that something like this should be added before 0.8 is released. Unless you *want* people believing TPs are broken, that is ...<br>
