Alright, after using these methods for a month of game time, I have to ask. I notice that names.dat doesn't seem to be necessary after the initial league file is created for the season.

1) Are there other dat files that don't really change? It seems that the modified date on every file changes each sim regardless of whether the file actually changed. For example, all of the messages show the current date/time though not all of them are truly new.

2) Is it true you can delete the message.dat file and the game will recreate it with all messages?

3) Any other tips on putting together a stripped down league file?

4) If you include page_links won't owners only have YOUR bookmarks?

5) What do you upload history wise and how often? I miss the 15+Ks and 3 HR games and stuff, but it seems that you have to create the full history just to get those HTML pages for uploading (and that's a LOT of files!). I'm thinking of just uploading a full history once per season like CATO used to do.

6) When you enter a "Folder to copy files into" directory, isn't it supposed to CREATE the files there? Posts above seem to suggest this, but when I create the reports they still go in the league file folders.

In-game doesn't cut it because it leaves out team news files.
