Re: CLI for probing turn status
If you are interested in doing something similar I could post the details for the game status retrieving part here.

Re: CLI for probing turn status
Im curious about it.
I doubt if Id be capable of programming anything to it at my level of programming but until I see the protocol I wont know.

Re: CLI for probing turn status
OK I was right. I wont be creating anything with that.

Re: CLI for probing turn status
Awright, I got the server to talk to me, but I don't get the way the packet is constructed. I can see the name of the game, then a couple of zeros, then the magic 45 char, ... and then about 200 characters that don't make any sense to me, followed by the # of the turn.
How do I figure out what in those 200 corresponds to what nation, how it's controller and its connection status?
Thanks.
