NameChanger - what is it and why we keep it?

Subj.

The named class contains some ugly code and seems of no practival use to me, given that there is even no input file for it in the /res folder

I suggest its removal.

I first discovered this app back in 2008 when I came across an app named "Card Warrior 2". I played a few games and the game seemed familiar but the cards had the wrong name. This lead me to find the actual Forge app which included correctly named cards.

"Card Warrior 2" was an attempt to avoid cr issues I guess.

The NameChanger method caused some problems as Dennis and Rob were adding in new cards. I found the code and figured out that commenting out a line of code would prevent the NameChanger code from changing the card names.

It would be nice to have all of the old name changer code removed from the project.

If anyone is interested, I have attached the cardwarrior archive and the name-mutator.txt file that I still have in my possession.

Thank you.

Oh, it appears that the name-mutator.txt file that I included was a fixed replacement file and the one attached to this message comes form the card warrior archive.
