scores are stored locally in the data directory. (docs/userguide.txt).

on a separate note:

If I want to update scores in a module after setting them, would it be a good idea to GetStat right after setting it in order to update the client's points immediately?

Correct, asss keeps track of all scores (and lots more) locally, using berkeley db for storage.

I'm not sure what GetStat would do. I think the function you want is SendUpdates.

mmm yes, this is why you should use the new user database protocol

haha.. In regards to network score reset.

Is it possible to disable this, I like the idea of it saving it but, it'd be nice if I can change it..Maybe?

Sorry, the score keeping is integrated with the rest of the persistent data system and can't be separated. You can disable the whole thing by not loading the "persist" and "stats" modules (and anything that depends on them). But then you get no saved scores at all.

But give it a chance, I think you'll like the new features. You can use the provided "dbtool" to export stats data in csv format for use by external apps.
