	string packagename = "player";
	packagename += "_";
	packagename += zone;

build of the quests\zone\player.pl directory.. tries to eval it

try {
		perl->eval_file(packagename.c_str(), filename.c_str());
	}

then if it doesn't load,

if(!isloaded(packagename.c_str()))
	{
		filename = "quests/";
		filename += QUEST_TEMPLATES_DIRECTORY;
		filename += "/player.pl";

try templates. So if I'm not corrected, if a /<zone>/player.pl exists, it stops the parser from loading /templates/player.pl?

curiousity question, if I were to just take this code, and make it so it loads both player.pl, what would be wrong with that?

anyone have a solution for this that doesn't involve copying and pasting into the 20 somethin odd player.pl's in the quest folder? and i'm still wondering what would happen if the source was changed to allow to load both, the player.pl's that are in the zone folders, as well as the templates one.
