Any idea why stuff like

Code: Select all

for i,p in ipairs(game.players) do

suddenly throws error that 'game' is nil value after the update? Its the only thing that breaks my mods now and I don't really know why.

This is probably in the on_load method. And yes, this was exactly the goal, to disable the access to the game object in this event. There is no good reason for it, and it brings only possible toruble.

If you want to do some migration, you can use the event on_configuration_changed

EDIT: oops, didn't see it was actually you who posted in that thread
