*windowed* SE4, running on windows!

I did call it "Captain Kwok's Community Service Award" which I believe matches up with what you are saying.

Well, then, Fyron is definitely wrong.

Which, really, is all that matters.

Doesn't that actually prove my point? They are community service awards given by Kwok, as opposed to given by community vote... I was never arguing for the "balance" or validity of such awards, just that they don't intrinsically require being given by the community. Unless you want to argue semantics over the term "community service award..."

Perhaps we should consider not clogging SJ's thread up anymore?

Aww, but clogging up threads is what I do!

OT FTW!

Eh. But I can stop clogging this one.

Wiki updated to reflect new version.

PS S_J, if you want to steal text from the wiki to flesh out the somewhat sparse readme.txt, feel free=-)

Just a note:
It dosen't hide the turn processing screen. It hides the big main window and leaves only the small processing progress bar screen visible during processing.
*This applies to simultaneous games, as the progress bar is not used by SE4 in sequential mode.

Any way to turn that off?
It sucks: SE4 does not re-draw nicely (flickers partly-drawn over the screen until it stabilizes), and the log window will be hidden behind the main SE4 window, means you have to click on "Space Empire IV" in the taskbar twice to make it appear .. each turn.

Shouldn't be hard to tweak. I'll post a new version tonight.

Uploaded.

Just hold scroll lock when you process the first turn (until the progress bar appears), and the minimize/restore on processing will be disabled until you restart the script.
