Wishlist: Server Wishlist (command line options)

[DrPraetorious]

I'd like some command line switches to make it easier to play games on the same machine that is hosting them.

--playonhost
# Skip the dialogue offering you the option of deleting the game and assume you are playing on the host computer.

--nation <nbr>
# Skip the dialogue asking you what nation you want to select. <nbr> is optional, if not given it assumes you want to play as whatever .trn files you have.

--pwd <passwd>
# Automatically send this password, whatever nation you decide to play.

Peace,
TNDP

a true text mode host
One that doesnt have to have the graphic libraries installed if it never uses them.

a client side sound for "turn complete"
I guess its kindof a server thing. I was reminded of a need for the client side to let people know when the turn is available for longer games when the player stays connected. I can use --postexec but the player cant.

fast arrows option
apparently the animated drawing of an exceptionally long arrow can be irritating, and even possibly crashing. Altho this might be best as a .map command so that individual maps can turn it on when its appropriate.
