Default Re: Automatic backup of turn files

Wunderbar !! That's just what we needed to have a real "save" feature in Dom3
Can I kiss you Lolly ?

In fact in my previous post I had just tested the first small script that you gave in your first post and didn't notice there was a second post with attachment !! I'm distracted...

About XP I had everything working but had to "spell" the shortcut command like this :
<dom3path>\dom3.exe --scoredump --preexec "<Dom3 path>\dom3backup.py -f 1"
With <dom3path> my Dom3 directory where I've also copied the .py file. Double apostrophs are required ("), simple ones (')don't work.

This tool give me ideas but I don't charm Pythons like you do so well , could you please continue this fine work ?
- I don't like much having the .backup reps directly under Dom3 rep, I'd prefer to have them underneath each game's rep, ie Dominions3/MyGame/MyGame.backup
I suppose it's rather easy to change ? Just tell me what lines/command to edit, I'm able to do that.
- For pbems, now that we got automatic numbered zipped turn files we just lack an automatic email sending to a list of addresses (the players) ! Do you think you could handle that ? (I'm sure you can ! )
For Dom2 I had a buddy who make scripts to use a small free command-line email tool called "postie", perhaps we could use it also ?
