custom nations and names files question...

Guys,

If an online league was to use custom files for Nations.dat and Names.dat what potential problems might arise?

Do the files get "built-in" once the universe is created, or are they accessed each time a player is created?

Do other members of the league need to have those files in the default folder for OOTP9, or does it only have to be in the .lg folder?

I am going to head over to read the online manual, but I am not sure the answers are there, and would like to hear if anyone has any experience using custom files.

There are no inherent problems. Many leagues, including my own, do this, by both modding the existing nations and names, and by adding original new ones to the files.

The nations and cities are built in when a league is launched, and cannot be changed. They are frozen in place at the moment of the league's birth. The names files, and the ethnicities file which controls the distribution of the names, can be updated and changed at any time.

They only need to be in the Commissioner's databases folder. They aren't part of the league file, and no one else needs to have them on their computers.

There is a nations.dat file and a names.dat file which do become part of the league file, but that's all done automatically by the game, and takes place whether or not these things have been modded. No extra step is needed, by the Commissioner or the owners, to make these two files a part of the league file, or to use them.
