Same species should be same species - QuakeIV - 04-09-2022
I noticed that when creating new characters off of a .CHR file they dont appear to all be the same species. I also noticed the file is only 32 bytes. I would suggest that these 32 bytes be used as a database key to look up what species you are, or something akin to that.
A way to break ties for existing redundant named species and to move existing data to the new scheme would be for the oldest one to win.
It seems possible it was already intended to work this way, however it does appear to me that the species names do not stick across new characters so I'm fairly sure im creating a new identical species every time I do this.
