Automated PBW Game Turn?

[tbontob]

Thanx guys. And I intend to install it.

From the looks of it I have to agree with George's assessment.

And it IS cool, very cool.

A short discription of it is given in 4.0 of the FAQ's

The PBW Real Time Client requires JRE:

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is freely available from , and is also available on the Space Empires IV Gold CD. The JRE is required to use the Real-Time Client (RTC). To install, double-click on the executable and follow the instructions. For ease of use, we recommend installing to the default directory.

I have been told in another thread that
-The main directory refers to the folder that holds SE4
-The default directory can be any one of a number of sub-folders within the main directory.

But there are many sub-folders! Which one do I install JRE?

EDIT: In the quote, the URL is in my message but is left out in the posting? Anybody know why?

In this case, the default would be the one that the installer starts with.

If you don't tell it to go somewhere else, it will go in the default folder for the RTC.

PS: as for the URL, you might have been trying to use HTML.

Try: [ URL=www.somewhere.com] This is the clickable text label [/url]
Which gives:
This is the clickable text label

Hehe, welcome to the wonderful world of windows. There are sixteen ways of doing everything, but only 10 of them are the correct way.

As with everything else the meaning is in the context. In this context when it says the default directory it is refering to the directory the the Java JRE tries to load itself to by default. This will have nothing to do with the Space Empires directories or anything else.

Once you have loaded the java JRE the PBW RTC client program (It will ahve a .jar extension) goes in your default Space Empires IV directory, that is the same one withthe Se4.exe program.

Hope that clears it up.

Cool. To post my own clickable text lable, do I remove all the brackets? Or just the middle two. i.e.===> ] and [.

[Suicide Junkie]

No, you just have to remove the space between "[" and "URL=..."

The number one reason I haven't used the RTC is based on an assumption. I have a limited amount of RAM and am loathe to install any program that sits in the background and uses up what little I have. Is RTC or JRE one of those programs? I've been assuming they are.
