Hopefully a quick question. I am involved in a multiplayer game where my opponent (after discussing with me) has decided to turn control over to the computer. He is hosting the game. Is it possible to pass the game to me somehow so I can finish it without the need for him to host?
Thanks in advance.

Im not sure if anyone has tried it but as I understand things all he has to do is zip up the game directory to send to you.

If your computer has already received the information that he is computer controlled then you might not even need that. You have the game directory. Open dommap normally and select it as a game already in play. It might let you go ahead and host turns. If it says anything about waiting for his turn file then you might need him to send you the game dir off his machine.

If he was hosting then he (and only he) has the master game file (ftherlnd), which you will need. Just have him zip up the game folder and send it to you.
