How to start your game from a batch file

You need quotes around each parameter, and the password cannot be null... use a single space instead.

"c:\program files\shrapnel games\malfador machination\space empires\SE4.exe" "D:\SE4\SE4Gold\Savegame\PnNonPBWtake2.gam" "arrmatey" " 1" "Pirates&Nomadsmodv3.2r7"

Success, now, how to make it process (hostrun) the turn.

se4.exe "savegame\test.gam" "pass" "1"

opens the turn for player1
but; (12 being host)
se4.exe "savegame\test.gam" "pass" "12"
produces "exception access violation"....

Anyone knows how to make the turn execute from commandline, i e host run game execution?

You have no player 12 in that game.
Try zero.

Thanx, I assumed host= Last player+1 as it's furthest down on the list, never thought of Zero

Can't test it until friday now that I'm far from home (Glad PBW is down )
