By OT I mean all of the Colosseum section This is something I've been very curious about you OT people. Did you join the main forums, and then discover the abundant riches of OT (like me)? Did you join CFC for the OT forums, but then start posting in the main forum as well? (if this is the...

In python, I'm aware that xrange is quicker than range, but is it worth it to change all the range's in my mod to xrange's? That is to say, how much of a net benefit speed-wise is there?

Alright so I was playing a mod last night, went to bed with it minimized. The next morning I saved and closed the game, and fixed a bug in my own mod. The I try loading it and it hangs on init python. I thought it was something I did so I load the regular game just to make sure and that too...
