Account PSW Hashing

Hiya,

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. You create the account file, add new players account names and passwords, but for some reason they are being hashed (the PSW) and not accepting their login. So I have to in turn delete the account.bak file and re-edit the account file, sometimes a few times before it works.

Is this password hashing a feature of POL and if so can it be disabled and how. If its not a feature, does anyone have an idea at what could be causing it and how to fix it.

I am using POL095

Any and all advice/pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Peace Out.

I also suggest you add accounts through the game rather than manually. you can either do it with the .command or you can write an aux or web script to do it for you.

Thought I'd share this in case anyone has this or comes across this problem in the future.

Peace Out
