Re: CSbias improvement [GSoC]

Hi Kevin,

    My name is Brian Perry.  I'm new to this group.  I'm working on Ares
development.  I'm also trying to learn Crystal space and helping with other
peoples' problems is a good way to learn.  I admit.  I don't really know
what a socket is.  I would think that if the Loadmesh() function triggers
the socket because the crossbow is attached somehow and the arrow will load
also.  I think it would depend on how weapons like the crossbow are setup
also.  If all weapons are derived from a single weapons class which
automatically calls ammunition, I would think this would work.  I don't
really know what a socket is though.  If you could tell me, maybe we can
work it out.

Brian
