Is there a way to check if a player has the most recent version of BYOND?

Uhh, why wouldn't that work? You could simply do
if(_.client.byond_version!=343)
   del _

Or something similar. So why isn't that it?

All you need to do is change 343 every time a new BYOND version comes out. I'm not sure if 343 is the latest version, but it's either that or 345.

The only version vars are world.byond_version (which is the hosts version of BYOND) and world.version (which is the version of the game).
I thought they were adding a client version at some point, but I guess they never got around too it.

Eh? You're saying that _.client.byond_version wouldnt work?
I just did this-
mob/verb/CheckYourVersion()
    usr<<"[usr.client.byond_version]"

And it outputted 342.

Well, there is of course the fact that checking against an exact version would be a dumb thing to do; anyone with a newer version is out of luck. What you should do instead is check for anything that version or higher.
