Title: Version information in file properties
Post by: Night on February 16, 2021, 11:34:39 AM
This doesn't really have anything to do with gameplay, so, more of a request than a suggestion. It would be helpful for third party modding purposes if I was able to acquire the version info via urw.exe's file properties:

Currently I am using news.txt and returning the first line with "Version", which suffices, but feels informal and potentially less stable over time.

Here is some information on C/C++ implementation;

Thank you for taking the time to read and consider our suggestions, as always, it is appreciated.
