Pundit.cfg includes lines like these:
"0" "TheFourthPeriod.com" "www.TheFourthPeriod.com" "WEBSITE" "Canada"
"4" "thehockeynews.com" "www.thehockeynews.com" "WEBSITE" "Canada"

What does the "0" and "4" mean?

Thanks.

Hmm that's a good question. The pundit.cfg itself omits any explanation of the number even in its description:

Code: Select all

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# File:    pundit.cfg
# Purpose: This file configures the media names used in the game
#          For example instead of displaying 'national newspaper' the
#          game might display 'Sunday Express'.
# Format:  The file is in the format of:
#            "<Name of Publication>" "Type of publication" "City related"
#          Where,
#          Type of publication is one of the following:
#          NATIONAL_SUNDAY, NATIONAL_DAILY, WEBSITE, RADIO,
#          LOCAL_DAILY, LOCAL_RADIO.
#          City Related is only appropriate for the 'local' types.

It's the gender of the media string, used for translations. For the english file, you should probably use "0" for new entries as I don't think it really matters. For other languages, the gender might need to be set correctly but I don't have the translation guidelines handy right now (Graeme would probably know it though).
