DM joining a new campaign as a player -- Where are my books?

[damned]

Hi Moon Wizard how does the GM Client know what books the Clients have?
Are our clients taking with each other behind our backs?
Is Skynet nearing?
Ill never trust my dice again!

Maybe TRENLOE is the beta version of SkyNet?

Yes, when the clients connect, the server sends a complete list of module permission records. Initially, this is only the books owned by the GM. Once the list is received, the client sends a set of requests for any modules they own, which the server did not send a module permission record. The server then automatically responds with a module permission record that defaults based on whether the book is a player module or a GM module; and stores the module permission state for that module with the campaign data.

So is this all accessible through a different window in the Library module view? Because I cannot see the difference between my modules and player modules?! I tried this already with players and it worked - but it was the same window I would use to open my own modules. Correct? I just wonder if the modules are somehow recognizable as a player module for the gm....

[Moon Wizard]

The data files within each module are either db.xml or client.xml. If a module uses a db.xml data file, it is a GM module; otherwise, it is a player module. There is not currently any marking to indicate whether a module is GM or player, except for the initial permissions (i.e. blocked for GM, allowed for player)

OK, thank you Moon Wizard.
