Confirmation of "send file" stage.
« le: 05 février 2010, 18:01:09 pm »
Do you NOT keep a copy of the file you send off in your save folder ?.

I think it means SEND the file to the other player and DONT keep a copy in the save folder, so you always put the NEW updated file in there, playing with ONE single file that goes back and forth - is that right ?.

Thanks for the information, I will be testing it out this weekend.

The pbem file just overwrites itself so it is always just one file

Thank you, I would advise to NOT leave the file in the folder if your playing more than one PBEM game, it will be easy to overwrite a file in error for another game.  I think it will be best to MOVE the file out of that folder after it has been updated, then move the new one from the other player in when it's received.....otherwise things could get confusing when more than one PBEM going on.

Just rename the pbem file and you won't have problems when more PBEM of the same battle are on

Yes, I was a bit slow to think this, Hook also suggested changing the file name.....so we can have any number in there at the same time, if they are all named by battle and player so we know which one to select, very good.
