Babij,

Regrettably I can't provide any helpful answers about this and just wished to register my own curiosity about what exactly it's for. I was aware of it's existence before you mentioned it but hadn't thought to comment.

All I can add is that the date/timestamp on my copy of the file seems to coincide with the date I installed the Viking Invasion expansion, so I presume that's where it came from.

There are a number of possibilities I can see for it: -
1) It only registeres data when you run a Vikings campaign and stays blank if you only ever play the patched MTW
2) It's a new addition to MTW, part of the patch and works for both games
3) It could be something which remains inert until a specific 'cheatcode' is used, which activates in-game debugging/event logging. In other words, it's a file used by the game developers to monitor game events, which strayed onto the master CD accidentally, or else it needs to be present on the HDD, so the code only has to modify and overwrite it, not create it fresh, on first use.
4) Like you suggested, it only ever gets filled in when you completely finish a campaign, with the data being stored in the gamesaves until that time.

With luck, one of the CA folks will spot the thread and make a comment.


@ Papewaio
Is this thread here (MTW Main Hall, at time of writing) *after* you moved it, or is it about to be shunted off elsewhere?
