How do you supply the turn data?
The players turn files can be delivered by whatever method desired (email, file transfer, floppy disk) and then copied into the games directory. Im not completely sure how the first turns would be made to start a new game.

On the game-map choice.....
He listed it farther down in this thread. The command line switches. The only one I think you HAVE to have is one like
--mapfile eye.map
since the name of the tga is specified inside a map file.

All the others have defaults which it will use unless you give the switch saying you want it a different way. All of those settings can also be set inside a map file if you wanted to create a map for the game you are making instead of using the command-line switches.
