Is there ever a reason an online GM would need the accountsdata.dat file?

Zarberg · 10-04-2012, 02:26 PM

I have a little form e-mail that I send out to new GMs in my online league that gives them download links for the league file, the accountsdata_gms.dat file and instructions on how to set them up correctly.

I've never had a problem with this, and all of my GMs have no problem setting it up, until now ...

I have a new GM who's claiming that he needs the accountsdata.dat file (without the _gms part). I did a search on my PC and I see one instance of that file for one of the online leagues I'm a part of and/or run (and I'm involved with 4) - I.E. I run a league that doesn't even have one, and I'm in 2 leagues that don't have that file.

Can anyone help and/or comment on this?

thanks.

I can't tell you a specific reason - I can only tell you that I include it in a settings zip file for my owners and they extract that right into settings
