We have two things here.. Players and their objects. The player > information (name, stats, etc) is stored in a binary file in /lib/etc n amed > players. Their objects are stored in binary files.. one per player in t he > /lib/plrobjs/xxx directory.. according to their name. Yes, sorry for the confusion. Circle stores player info (# of points, exp, skills learned) in one big file called 'players'. Rent, on the other hand, is stored in many small files, one per person. Unfortunately the Windows version of ZIP does not create directories if the directories are empty, so the a-e, f-j, etc. directories are not created, hence Circle can't create the rent files, hence rent doesn't work. This is being "fixed" in the PL12 distribution by creating dummy files in each of the object directories to force the unzip program to create them. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
