Just curious, but...
1) why one-directional merging?
2) What happens when you try m1+m2 and then m2+m1?
3) What happens when you try m1+m2 and then m2+m3? Does m3 end up with info from m1?

Question 1 > I could think of 2 answers, but I'm just guessing.. perhaps it's easier to code or perhaps to keep the password part simple?

Question 2 > From what I understood of .h file merging, M2 gets updated with M1 file. Then when you do M2+M1, M1 will take only new information, while keeping the source information (on M1) as the more genuine source.

Question 3 > Yup.. exactly the problem I am facing, when I don't want to reveal my ally's information, but want to trade information with another party anyway.

With .h file merging, I guess you can still take care of, by keeping an independent copy of just your .h file and .m file data.

Year 2420 - Game.m1, game.h1
Year 2421 - Game.m1, game.h1, game.m2, game.h2
merged h1 and h2.. and got game.h1a, game.h2a
(adding a for clarity sake)
Year 2422 - game.m1, game.h1a, game.m2, game.h2a, game.m3, game.h3
Now if I (P1) want to exchange information with player 3, I will have to keep my game.h1(2421), make a copy in a new folder, open year game.m1(2422) and get an updated game.h1(2422) which will be used to create the updated game.h3a(2422) file.

For getting my own updated file game.h1b(2422), I would use game.h1a(2422) and game.h3(2422) when you merge his data into yours.

Damn messy... and requires both parties to make efforts to keep each other's data secure. I doubt everyone would.

@Xyligun, you would need to confirm all this though Razz

I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.
