[BUGFIX] Allow Complex Powernet-Networking Packets - ihenn - 09-01-2016
This allows packets that have a list inside a list to be sent through the powernet-networking component. A practical use would be sending a packet like the following:
address_1=00000000
sender=11111111
command=term_message
data=command=do_something¶m1=val1
in the following format:
address_1=00000000&sender=11111111&command=term_message&data=(command=do_something¶m1=val1)
Basically it gives more potential to the Powernet-Networking component.

This would be really useful for quite a few things, you could in theory make a semi-self-regulating engine with this (pumps receive commands from wireless packets and gas sensors send gas data on wireless packets). There's a bunch of other stuff as well.
Considering it's been seven eight months and there's been no sign of coders seeing this, what are other peoples' opinions?

I think being able to send lists inside lists via the Powernet would be awesome and would be really useful. However, rather than coming up with a whole new format, I think it'd be nice to just fix the already half-implemented format (aka ampersands).
edit: Were ampersands still working when this bugfix was made?
