Hosting for Absolute Beginners

[Argitoth]

Has anyone got the command line to setup a host, gens when all turns are submitted + 24 hr if not.
Additionally to spice it up, i;ve seen one send an email when the turn is genned is that possible.


Arrite, there is no command line to send e-mails. It is probably a 3rd party program. Quickhosting AND 24 hour turn generation is not a good idea. It is one or the other. The reason for this is the Last person could take their turn at 7pm and the turn generates. Then the same person takes their turn at 7:05pm. 5 hours later, the turn is hosted and only that person who took their turn at 7:05pm got their turn in because no one else knew the game hosted at 7:00pm. Here is the command line I use:

"C:\Program Files\Dominions 2\dom2.exe" --port #### --tcpserver -wqxxx FileName

--port specifies the port used
--tcpserver makes the shortcut run a server
-w windows mode
-q quickhost
-xxx use lowest graphics possible
FileName is what you named the game/folder
