Lavenblade	This change seems to have broken our build pipelines. We're seeing a lot of the following: BUG: Error reading cache data for mob.dmi (0/4096) src/mob.dm:error: 'mob.dmi': cannot find file src/mob.dm:error: 'mob.dmi': invalid expression Reverting to BYOND v514.1575 resolves all of these errors. Edit: Builds on Windows work fine.

Lummox JR	This needs a new bug report. If possible it would be good to have a small test case that shows the difference between Linux and Windows. I say small because I'm gonna have to run tests on the server so I'd rather avoid having to upload a giant file. What confuses me about this is I didn't change much at all Unix-specific and what I changed was very simple.

Okay, I'll try and get this done tomorrow.

I'm honestly not sure what caused it, but I'm thinking it's an edge case because we haven't heard anything from SS13.

Do you have an email address that I can use for sending you our project?

I can't make a small test case unless I find a way to reproduce it. The project is under 30 Mb.

I'm able to build other projects on Linux just fine.
