The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.

[Aiken]

I'm using IMAP server for incoming mails rather than POP3. Is it possible to add imap support in future Versions?

I will look into it, have never used it myself but see no big objections why it shouldn't be in v 0.8.
Will have to learbn what it is first though
But I think I've seen some easy examples of it so it's a good guess I'll do it.


(But as of current, the PBW server has shut down it's mail functions )

Request:
1. Option to hide Recent games and Favorite games dropdown lists from the main page.
2. Show turn deadline in pbw games status dropdown list (on the main page), ie:
--------------------------------
Space Empires 101
2410.3
Ready
Turn due: Jun 9, 2:00:05 PM MSD
--------------------------------

Small bug: the clones of existing favorite games appeared in my Favorites list (main program page). When tried to choose the clone fav (it's lower in the list than true fav, usually) I've got error:
"When trying to determine savegame Version of the file:

doesn't exist!"

After restart they're disappered.
----------------------------------

I'd like to say many many good words to you Ruatha for your work. You'll henceforth be known as the Great Ruatha, The Magnificent Creator of the SE4 Companion, The Powerful Master of the History Files, The Intrepid Coder for Overbloated Interfaces, etc etc.

Ruatha,

Great job on this utility! I am loving it so far. One thing I cannot seem to get working is getting it to open a mod. Is this feature enabled? I noticed in the favorite settings it has a used mod text area but you cannot put anything there. There is no "change" button like the others. It trys to open the turn just fine but it will not use the mod directory to do so.

Kudos for the "A new turn as arrived!" I like the sound of the voice.

Thanks Aiken.
Will put in those checkboxes and see about those bugs.
The clones is propably just a missed CLEAR.
Adding the deadlines is harder but it will come, along with the deadline alert feature.
the IMAP mail seems more questionable though, I still haven't found out how to do it.


Ragnarok> You shouldn't be able to set a mod manually, it should take the mod from the path tha you have choosen the game in.
Say that you chooses a game in "SE4\Mods\Mymod\savegame\fungam.gam" it should set the mod to MyMod and use that mod folder when running SE4.
Doesn't it do that?
(Only favorite games can use mods)
If not, what does the Manual command line in the bottom of the favorite page look like?
That you can always set yourself, so that it can run the game with all the commands that are needed.
But it should grab the right mod.
I'd appreciate if you could post the commandline from the favorite page and the modname.

When I try it here at work with a dummy file structure it sets the command line to:
"C:\TEMP\companion072\Mods\Special\savegame\ngc3_pl r_2_events.txtngc3.gam" "PASSWORD" "2" "Special"
and the mod to Special
as it should. Except from the wrong path bit, a bug !

I guess you haven't put the mod savegames under the mod subdirectories.. I didn't think of that.
Will make an option to change that manually!.
