SEIV: Play by Web

Admiral · #1 April 17th, 2001, 05:15 PM

I personally play the game with the TDM ModPack, but the PBW is set up "clean" right now.

As LL says, it will (eventually) support a variety of mods by dynamically rewriting the path.txt file prior to executing a turn. That's not the difficult part; the difficult parts are:

1) Making sure the uploaded zip file is set up properly to extract as a new mod directory.

2) Making sure that the se4.exe never pops up any UI windows under any circumstances (which is not the case today) when run from the command line.

Cheers,

Admiral

I signed up to play a game, and now I don't have the link/site anymore (actually it's on another computer, which I can't get to right now). Could someone send it to me again, or post it here please. I need to upload my race. Thanks.

The email address of this cool system's author is down at the beginning of this topic. I'd post it in this message but I want you to read all the Posts in between. This guy is a programming machine. He's already enhanced the system so much. Look for the Posts by: Admiral.

Back from vacation! Did I miss a fat multiplayer game starting????

NOOOOOoooooo!!

Anyway, I'm in if I can get in!

Are we using the new 1.35 patch?

Thanks,

Ken

We're running v1.30 stock.

I've moved up the "can run multiple Versions" on the priority to support v1.30 or v1.35. Selection can be made at game creation time; I am not certain I should allow mid-game changes.

Cheers,
