Title: Rebuild .dats from Mortem Folder
Post by: 007bistromath on June 15, 2008, 03:11
If you can't figure out why this (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php?topic=1613.0) is happening, there's a way to provide a temporary solution. Create a program that reconstructs the .dats using the finished games in /mortem as input. This way, if a player's running total breaks for any reason, they can fix it instantly by running this little .bat. Of course, this would make it easier to falsify the .dats, but that could be prevented by including a checksum of some kind at the end of each mortem, and if somebody really wants to fake stuff then bully for them anyway. Not everyone is interested in unlocks.
