I would find instinctivily more "natural" to have a variable for the version. But in fact it all rely on how manual's guru want to organize it...

Hm, I overestimated the number of places \playertype is actually used, which is why I didn't consider a \playerversion in the first place.

Probably only the use in preamble.tex would need the version, but this would imply that either some magic is added somewhere or all platform files need a dummy \playerversion definition.

I'm not sure. On the one hand I like a localised approach that definitely only impacts the parts where there is actually a problem (generalising can introduce some bugs), but on the other hand generalising may be more maintainable later on.

I'm also not sure what you'd do with things like the clip plus. Is that a clip (version plus) , or is that a clip plus (version 1)?

I suppose that the point of the version is to distinguish player that would otherwise be undistinguable (i.e. same outfit)
