Re: [Adonthell-general] Double screen mode available

I think it would definitely be better if the portraits and names matched.
After all, what would the user think if, for example, the game says he's
talking to Gandalf the White but the picture on the screen is of Bilbo
Baggins?

If you're using Python for the game engine, why not use a hash to tie a face
to each name? I apologize in advance for not knowing Python. I've heard it
builds on Perl, so knowing that Perl does hashes, I assume Python does the
same.
