    Added a flag the message_extra struct that tells whether the base animation exists. Also changed message_play_anim() to use this flag rather than the first_frame field to decide whether to add a suffix to the name.

YAY!  New Build!

[Skarab]

Just to clear up the jumbled mess in my head, is there any reason to use the AVX build over the SSE one, or vice versa?

[m!m]

AVX can provide a small performance boost but is only supported on recent Intel (Sandy Bride and later) and AMD (Bulldozer and later) CPUs. If you are unsure if your CPU supports it just use the Standard group. That is supported by most CPUs currently in use.

Also, why is the Standard group the last entry? It's the one that is most commonly used and should be at the top.

It looks like the build order has been random starting from the October 21, 2015 nightly.

Oh, and is there any chance of the past nightlies being reuploaded?

It looks like the build order has been random starting from the October 21, 2015 nightly.

Since it just iterates through the keys of a hashmap, I'm surprised they only started being random on that date; I'm not as hip to these things in Perl as I am in Python, but in Python that order would've been random since... 4 years ago, if memory serves (2.6).

Thanks for the reply there.  AVX for me then as I have a pretty modern system.
