I haven't tested 1.49, I have only savegames from 1.84 and 1.91 and they differ enough in structure to have to be handled differently by the application.
I'd be happy if you could try it out when I release the beta, or mail me a savegame ver from 1.49, I don't feel the urge to reinstall my SE4 to try it. |

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
Wait... your program actually parses the binary savegame data???
Does this mean there's a scenario editor coming up in the foreseeable future???
Though this would open up the door to cheating, as well... 
In any event, I'll send you my savegame when I get home, seeing as you're not in this particular PBW game so you'd have nothing to gain from peeking at it

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
Oh no.
It only reads savegame Version, the empire names and turndate, nothing more and never will.
There is an manual option where you can access any eventfile without the savegame but then the empires are called "player 1, player 2.." instead of "The dreaded Katz Empire, The Rage collective.."

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
Right now it can check on-line and alert for new turns, it does the same for mail but there it doesn't remember if it's alreadya lerted, so if it's set to not delete the mails from the server it will alert at each check.
This will be fixed.
It's coming along well but it's taking some time...

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
Every time I check out this topic my mouth starts to water. Can't wait for this one to be done.
