Default Re: PBEM question

Elmo,

Are you the host for this PBEM game? If not the only file you should ever get regardless of where you run it is a .plr file.

If you are running the host part then you will get extra files sometimes. You will get events files and stat files for each player, a combat file and turn file for the turn. But you won't get all these every turn. If there are no events for a particular player, it won't update the event file that turn. On your home computrer it should still have the old event file for that player though so you may think it did unless you look at the time/date for the file. I am not sure about the combat file if it will create a blank file if there is no combat or if it just carries over as well.
