Re: PBW now supporting SE5.
As a test of this I went ahead and added the Balance Mod version .99 to the server gametypes folder. I guess that's all that has to happen. I've never tested whether or not running it from the command line actually pulls from the correct mod folder however. Have anyone verified this running from the command line? If you want to let PBW try and process yours turns that would be cool. I am assuming you would have some way of knowing whether it actually used the mod and not the stock files?
It does look a little confusing as there is still only one version of SE5 showing on PBW even though it's setup for the mod to work. What I will do tonight is add a version ID for the Balance mod, but it will point to the same .exe the stock files pull from. Then if it's working right the savegame file should know where to get the datafiles from.
Then the only issue becomes one of updating when Kwok updates the mod. I'm assuming that if I update the mod on the server and you don't update your pc you will get some sort of version mispatch error when you try to open the next turn. Is that correct?
