Default Re: auto-save feature ? (within dom2 or external program)

Simply do the following:

Open the turn.

Issue your orders

Hit "End turn"

Zip up the following files (using your favourite zipping program):
.\game-subdirectory\ftherlnd
.\game-subdirectory\savename.trn
.\game-subdirectory\savename.2h
.. if you rename the zip something like this -save_1.zip- , you can keep all turns in the same save directory. This will backup not only the current turn results but the orders as well, so if you go back to the previous turn you don't have to do ALL orders again.

NOW hit "host" for turn generation.

A.

PS: To get the DOM backupper to work, you have to compile it first (turns ".java" into ".class" files. You'll need the Java Development Kit (JDK), though.) Than you'll have to set the pathes correctly - see the readme for details.
