Default Re: Space Empires IV: Modding and other Help Tools/Information

For those that like to test the AIs (like myself!), I did a program that run SE4 into a batch mode during the turns that the user wants.

Is something big because I have included all the VisualFoxPro's Dlls... but think that could be usefull.

SE4 BATCH

Now MUST donwload the update to the Version 1.1
- No more Delays.
- No more Error Messages (from SE4 when try to run more than oce at the same time).
- Capability create file backups.

BUT because for this Version, I'm using the commands to copy and rename the game save files, the path MUST be with the DOS format, it mean, only 8 characters for every folder!
You don't need to rename your folders... you only need to change the SE4 BATCH and SAVEGAME Path parameters, using the CONFIGURATION button.

If you have installed SE4 inside the standard folder, the path should be:

For the Se4 path:
C:\PROGRA~1\SHRAPN~1\MALFAD~1\SPACEE~1

For the Savegame path:
C:\PROGRA~1\SHRAPN~1\MALFAD~1\SPACEE~1\SAVEGAME

SORRY FOR THE PROBLEMS!

UPDATE VERSION 1.1

This second file only the update. You first need to install the Version 1.0, and later, unzip the second file into the folder were you have installed the SE4BATCH.
