Double source codes

[Renodil]

This is messed up. What exactly do you copy if the same system has duplicate source codes of different file sizes? I just ran into a system that had for example:

Network-0.dat File size 12
Network-0.dat File size 9

Not to mention others like 1, 2, 3, etc. One stopped at file 8 and the other at 9.

Also I'm playing hide and seek with the admin as it's a LAN, so it's difficult enough to do one batch of source codes, let alone 2. And what's more how do I know which ones to upload to the file server?

Any ideas?

Post a screenshot of mission and files.

Can't right now. The admin caught me,so I had to go back to a previous save. Once I get to it again I will.

I copied every file that was there and then connected to the file server they need to be dumped into. This screen shot shows the double 0.dat files. As you can clearly see they have the same name, but are completely different file sizes. So are all the other files 1-9.

A suggestion :
you may copy either one of both files or if the fileserver of the hirer has enough space, both files. In either case, you will receive full pay, or at the worst of cases, will receive a couple thousand credits less, which, I don't think will make much difference in the later stages of the game.
It may also happen that the files are 0, 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. (0.dat instead of 1.dat.) If the space is not enough then you can transfer any one file.

He said there were also two 1s, two 2s, two 3s etc.

Oh, in that case transfer any one set.

I basically did trial and error. I tried a couple files at a time and then sent the reply. If he said there were none yet then I deleted those knowing they weren't any of the ones. If he said he reduced my pay I knew one or more of the files was wrong. Took awhile and a lot of copying and deleting of the users folder, but I eventually discovered which set to send him to get the full pay.

Idea for the next update. Make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen anymore.

yes true. Good idea for Onlink though.
