Re: SE4Batch status?
 

Isn't it easiest to make your own batch file and customize it the way you want it, in notepad I made this one (Am at work so I can't test it but it should work):

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">@echo off &gt;NULL


set counter=0

:loop
set /a counter=%counter%+1

echo Running automated turn number %counter% now.

Gamepath\Se4.exe &quot;Game&quot; &quot;password&quot; &quot;0&quot; &quot;modname&quot;



if &quot;%counter%&quot;==&quot;%1&quot; goto ****

goto loop
:****</pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Where Gamepath is the full path to the SEIV exe file.
Game is gamename with the full path
Password is master password, if none enter a space between the " ".
Modname is ofcourse the name of the mod.
The "0" means you are running as host.

The line could look like this:
c:\games\space Empires IV Gold/SEIV.EXE "c:\games\space Empires IV Gold\FQM_Deluxe\Savegames\NGC4" "iammaster" "0" "FQM_Deluxe"


Save the file as auto.bat and call it as auto 10 in the run dialog box or a dos window to run 10 turns, or whatever number you desire.

Edit: Made for Win XP / 2000
EDIT 2: **** means End in Swedish...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, it has a somewhat different meaning in English...

Ah, the joys of language.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Sure it's easier. And your method works too (just checked). Thank you Ruatha.

I did it work with Win2000 thanks the Unknown_Enemy suggestions when I was running the Death Match2.
About the Ruathua method, think should work too, but when I did some test (some years ago), had problems trying to get backups.

Re: SE4Batch status?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">But I sent you the files 2 times! The first time, your standard mail rejected it due lack of space, but when sent you the files to your other email, have not received any message about reject...

Re: SE4Batch status?
 

Can someone repost the Batch file then, one that does work in XP with instruction on how to use it. Please with sugar on it.

Re: SE4Batch status?
 

Send it to ftp://imagemodserver.mine.nu/uploads and I'll get it posted for you.

Re: SE4Batch status?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Not much sense with ruatha's little batch.You only need to add a auto backup every xx turn and you have a new SE4BATCH file.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hug, Fyron already posted it at: http://www.spaceempires.net/home/mod...atch#dldetails

But if you wish, have not problems to send it to you.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I had problems to solve it when some years a go, wanted to use a Bat file like it...
At least in Win98, the Bat file runned se4 in simultaneous, without wait until the previous turn is finished.
Example, if I setted the bat file to run 5 turns, then, it runned SE4 FIVE times at the same time, without wait the first turn finished...
I did several test but never was able to run it well...
Maybe in XP/Win2000 this is different, but in Win98, the Bat file was not the solution.
