IMPORTANT MOD CODE INFORMATION

We decided to make the thread control file (CTB) consistent in format to all other hash based files.

Actually if you are running a current 2.x version the new format change will be painless as the new code will convert the old ctb on the fly once a thread is opened.
To force a complete conversion all you need to do is a Rebuild Message Index.

The new format looks like :

The good thing is that through better code reused the MessageTotals Subroutine became about 60 lines shorter  

This new format also gives mod writers a solid and comfortable place to add their thread related variables, by adding them to the hash @tag) in MessageTotals (); in Load.pl, thus avoiding separate new files per thread to emerge.
Reading and setting the vars should be ${$threadid...}{'tag'}, where $threadid could be any thread id variable in the code

As you can see in Error.lng most sections of language have been sort of marked.
I think both are OK, meaning if the mod language file is loaded the best place is there (so you do not alter original files) but there is no harm done if you add it to the Error.lng.

Agreed, Error.lng is loaded anyway so error message go best in there
