That's not always a good solution. If you want to use the texture in
a newer scene, you wouldn't be able to use new features.

Not necessarily, you could keep the old noise functions and have the
parser use them or their replacements depending on what the #version is
set to at the time of parsing. For example, internally there would be
two bozo functions, one for old versions and one for newer versions.
They would both be very similar and would use the same keyword, just the
new one wouldn't have plateaus, and they would be chosen depending on
the #version value.

If it just modifies the noise function(which it sounds like it does, I
don't know how else it would fit into 7 lines), it would fix the bozo
pattern.

:-)
Can't really argue with that reasoning...

Is this the first time you put up your whole name? I hadn't noticed it until
now, if you had put it up before. Cool name. Do your friends call you CJ, or
Chris?

It probably is, although it might be mentioned somewhere on my web page.
I don't use my middle name much.

I usually go by Chris. I don't think many of my friends even know what
my middle name is.
Online, I usually just go by Chris Huff or Chris H, and especially on
this server(which seems to have a large number of other people named
"Chris"), it is a good idea to indicate *which* Chris you are talking
to/about.

On the other hand, how many scene files have already been "broken"
(ruined) by the current implementation? Also, how many more scene
files must suffer from this bug before it is corrected?
Later,

I don't think any guy would want to be called CJ. Or don't they show
Baywatch down there? :)

I have never had anyone call me that, like I said, I don't use my middle
name much. I don't think I would like it much...
