hosting without the gui
 

its all in the title. Will it be possible to generate new turns without the GUI?

What's wrong with the GUI?
(I hope i know what i am talking about now, UI is User Interface, so i think that GUI is General User Interface...)

Re: hosting without the gui
 

On Linux and Mac OSX it is fully possible and recommended for setting up servers. It currently doesn't work on windows.

Re: hosting without the gui
 

I have already a semi private dominions bot (ftp access thru a windows interface to fetch and drop files) running (for french friends), but launching the GUI will surely asks too much for the hosting machine.

Ye I think a dominions pbw (well for me it is stars! autohost that I had in mind) project would be a boon to the communauty (and to the selling figures, hint hint IW)

Re: hosting without the gui
 

If all you want to do is to generate a new turn without any human intervention then it is possible in Windows too. By supplying a few switches you can get Dominions to host and exit without any intervention. The thing that won't work is setting up a graphicsless server for network play.
