Default Re: Multiplayer setup help

On Windows (actually a holdover from DOS before it) a BATch file is a text file with a list of commands to be carried out. Its executable (like a program). Its not a level up to "programming" but its higher than just a shortcut link. If you use Outlook then the guts of it would be something like this...

Code:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe " \
/c ipm.note /m mybro@example.com \
/a "C:\program files\dominions3\savedgames\mygame\abbysia.2h"
That would be:
open Outlook
create a note
mail it to mybro@example.com
attach MyGame Abbysia file
