The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.

[Ruatha]

0.76: Not any main changes:
Only changes: Can grab deadline from mail, won't alert about it, will change it to defined timezone.
Can run turns as host.
Will save ini disregarding of way of closing.

(It doesn't work perfect, but you're welcome to Beta test the host function Fyron.)
A tip, in the favorite setting for the hosted game, set to start se4 automatic and close event page when se4 is finished.
It will show an alert if there is something wrong with the races text files, ie AI files.
But not if there is something wrong with the .plr files.
I belive this is the same at PBW, and I can't see any way around that.

PBW will process if the PLR file is for the wrong turn. It refuses to accept uploads for improperly named PLR files though. That part will probably have to be up to the host to take care of.

OK, just figured out how to get it working- fantastic! I can't wait for my PBW turns to be readt so I can play with it some more!

Are you still looking for more features to add to this beast? If so, I have one:

Could yo link it somehow to the game forum at PBW for the games listed in the PBWfavourites list? I hate going through all the clicks needed to access a game forum, especially when you go to all that trouble and there are no new Messages.
Wouldn't necessarily need the ability to post there, but just to see what's new and then a direct link to open the forum in my preferred browser.

I have more sugestions too, but they would probably belong in another prgram.

Excellent progress and its looking very good - should help players of PBW and SE4 single player

Lets also hope we get a Version 2.00 of SE4 as SE5 is ready to get to market just as a existing player reward and to fix most of the remaining bugs and perhaps a few new featuers as people will still keep buying SE4 after SE5 is out (those with older PCs etc.)

SE4 is done. Please stop spamming the Boards with such statements.
