SEIV Autohost and dead human players

[mikeydz]

Playing in a 4 human player game with AIs using autohost. Player 3 bit the dust (What a loser...) so now only player 1,2, and 4 remains. Unfortunately, Autohost does not seem to recognize that player 3 is dead, and is still waiting for him to upload his turn. How do I get autohost to recognize that player 3 is no more. Setting it to 3 players doesn't work. And I don't see anyway to remove the dead player under the SEIV host mode.

Autohost?

It's Suicide Junkie's program to automate hosting funcions, mostly for LAN play, but I'm using in on my private server instead of using PBW.

Ah, that's a good thing to add.

For now, just make a dummy plr, and I'll update the code after work tonight.

On PBW the host can switch a dead player empire to AI control; you should be able to do that manually. (I assume PBW just uses the manual controls.)

I would imagine that PBW just changes how many empire files it checks for when it does the "last player upload" type processing checks. You don't need special switches to make SE4 process a turn with AI control for missing or dead empires.
