Default Re: Mothball Message During PBeM Turn Generation

quote:
That's it exactly. I'm the host, not the player whose ships can't be mothballed. It actually stops the generation until I clear the message.
ISTR that the PBW server had this same problem early in its development, until somebody found some "pop-up" killing freeware that automatically clears those Messages. Search the PBW forums if nobody pipes up here first with more details.

[edit]
OK, I found the details myself. Georgig wrote a custom program for PBW to deal with this, because none of the freeware they tried was adequate. That's less helpful to you than I thought it could be.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
