Re: SEIV: Play by Web
Very nice summary, Jimbob.
It also supports automatic execution of turns after a specified duration. Unfortunately, because of some issues with command line, unattended operation (of the se4.exe program) with v1.30 and v1.35, the system must remain in beta and without automatic turn execution enabled.
The problem is related to the fact that the se4.exe program pops up dialog boxes (there is no player file, the player file is the wrong turn, etc) to which you must click "OK" or such before the turn will be processed.
Until the program is completely hands off in [em]all[/em] circumstances, the server requires hand holding (someone must click these boxes) and is not very reliable.
Cheers,
Admiral
