It's been about 15 months since 2.5.11 was released, all that time without new Windows builds from S2_5. I now made a snapshot build from S2_5 12-Jun-19 sources (2.5.11+-190612), commit '0b7275825d'. It's available from http://files.freeciv.org/packages/windo ... snapshots/

Also .spec files tell which .png file they describe. Is it possible that you had not updated those references in your copy, but .specs were still referring to trident/*.png? ->

Uh. I don't quite get what you mean... I wrote "from earlier freeciv server run" (same server or another). Information is stored in the database.

Corbeau wrote:What happens if there is no -Newusers parameter?

Only those users that already exist (from earlier freeciv server run with -Newusers) can log in.

So, what is the state of the database after the game is created and before the user logs in for the first time to create his password? I don't know about longturn.net implementation (where users exist prior to server start), but in standard freeciv entire user entry (both username and password) get...
