Re: SE4Batch status?
 

Hey George, but you don't need to have a game master password.
I was running the Deathmatch 3 using this program, and without master password.

But with ctl-alt-del, you should be able to see the tasks running and end it.
Drop me a mail if you want, and will help you to configure it.

Re: SE4Batch status?
 

I think the requirement for a master password is only if the game is on multiple machines.

Re: SE4Batch status?
 

I found the task manager and was able to kill it. Tried to edit that out but I was too slow. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Yeah, the password is only required for games setup for multiple machines. I guess I could use this if I set the game up hotseat, but then it doesn't work for what I was trying to do. I wanted to have an easy way to setup a PBW game and let it run 100 or however many turns prior to letting the players go with it, rather then starting the game on turn 0. It's kind of tedious to run the host turn 100 times in a row as you know.

Oh well, guess I'll come up with some other way to do this.

Did anyone ever find a way to get Ruatha's little batch file to do a backup every x# of turns?

Re: SE4Batch status?
 

I'm not even so much concerned with it backing up the files, but my concern with Ruatha's script is will it wait to run the next turn before the current turn is done running? If it's jsut a fixed time pause, then you could potetially get mutiple turns running simultaneoulsy when things start gettign complicated and turns take longer to process.

Re: SE4Batch status?
 

The second Ruatha's script works pretty well and no, doesn't has a time wait and only run one se4 turn at time.
I have attached a version that I've used in my computer (you will need to do some changes inside, like the path, passwords, etc)
To run it, need to rn "Se4bat2 10" to get 10 automated turns.

Cool, thanks MB. (And thanks Ruatha. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif )

Re: SE4Batch status?
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif No problem!
Tell me if you was able to run it.

Re: SE4Batch status?
 

It runs for me! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Now I just have to figure out how to make it copy and rename the savegame every x number of cycles.

Re: SE4Batch status?
 

Works magnificently MB. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you again.
