Default Re: Save File Format

I had requested that the score.html or status file (which are already options in dom) be extendable to the game writing out province numbers and ownership.

Im seeing in my minds eye a game using a map generated by dommap in two flavors. A normal play map, and the same seed used to generate one with no colors except water and land (and borders). I can already do a script routine to drop color into the provinces but I have no easy way to know who has what provinces.

Id like to see a running game with its own web directory. Screen shots, movies of major battles, an AAR blog or wiki, updated scores done in charts which match what you see in the game (already possible), a view available of the map being used, AND a thumbnail page showing the advancements of each nation in small maps which can be clicked on for a closer view.

Hmm if its too much game info then the daily info could be stored with only the info 3-days old actually being added to the display.

Have you tried puzzling it out with a hex editor?

Well reverse engineering is far harder than just asking

...but it can be a lot more fun, and you don't need to rely on the generosity of strangers.
