Message:	[quote=Samson] That's because the "filename" variable is being declared twice. A shadow warning lets you know this was done since in some cases it can fubar the contents of the variable if you do that. You should probably change the "filename" variable inside that for() loop to something else. I suggest "fname". This will avoid the possibility that you might end up overwriting something in memory that you don't want to.

hometowns.c: In function `load_nations':
hometowns.c:328: warning: declaration of 'filename' shadows a previous local
hometowns.c:314: warning: shadowed declaration is here

{
FILE *list = NULL;
char filename[256]; - 314

/* load from nations list */
sprintf(filename, "%snations.lst", NATION_DIR);
if((list = fopen(filename, "r")) == NULL)
{
bug("load_nations(): cannot open %s for reading; aborting load", filename);
return;
}

top_nation = 0;

for( ; ; )
{
char *filename = feof(list) ? "$" : fread_string(list); - 328

not sure how to fix this or anything...

Everything turns around in the end
