so if you know the typename, then you can get the type id, and with that id, you can get the correct phrases.

actually there i don't really see a problem.

the bitfields on the other hand could be a bit more problematical, as these would need users who know the details behind them before installing a hack...

Yes the phrasetype name and phrasetypeid have to be the same in both phrasetype and phrase db tables.

as it is at the moment when coders add a new phrasegroup for their hack they pluck a number out of the sky and use it ....... unfortunatly the coder of the geekarticles and myself plucked out the same number to use as the phraseid .....

if you read the members choice hack thread ... you would see the conflict that has been reported and basicly the best way to fix the problem is that both hacks have to be un installed and reinstalled using different phrase id nos

PS thanks Xenon for you fast reply to this matter
