Scorekeeper is a script that keeps track of a player's score between re-joins and server restarts by saving it to a file.
If a player does not re-join with in 1 week (by default) their score is removed from the list.
A player's score is tied to their name. If a player where to change their name, their score will be reset to that new name's score.
When being ran on a server, SRB2Kart has to be able to write into the luafiles folder. I have had some people have trouble with this, and the script has been un-able to write the save file.
The file that this script writes to is called scorekeeper.txt. It is only written to on the server.
Thanks to War-Dog for allowing me to test this script on their server.

As well as being a small script for saving peoples scores, it is also a small demonstration of the IO functionality added to SRB2Kart in 1.3, as it saves to and loads from a file to keep track of scores, and syncs the score table using a netvar. As the table is constructed from the file as soon as the script is loaded, it is able to get around the inability to send files to other players.
