How ? I should better not ask.

With this we can even do simulations in the background and play a completely different game !

From what I have seen so far, I guess you could easily solve the following, humble request:

Could you implement, that the name of the savegame changes every 10 turns, like "batchtest_001", "batchtest_002" etc. ? This would allow to step into different stages of the simulation game afterwards.



Was not so hard!
I only used the same functionality that have PBW to run SE4: call SE4 using parameters (this was suggested into the Beta Testers forum).
I'll try to work with you suggestion during the weekend.

Suicide Junkie: I'll try a work around, but I have tested what you suggested before... and had not good results.

Bump
great program for testing AI/ getting a later stage game and hopping in with high *** tech but no planets or low *** tech and no planets or taking charge of a comp (Last place or some low place) and building up, or for scenario starts

Ok, now I have finished the Version 1.1 (and probably the Last!).

I strongly suggest to download the patch:

- No more Delays.
- No more Error Messages (from SE4 when try to run more than oce at the same time).
- Capability create file backups.

UPDATE VERSION 1.1

Hi MB,
I am having problems using your program. After I set up everything and want to run the simulation, I get an error "Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword." When I hit ignore, I get "Command is missing required clause."
Hoping that you can help.

Rollo

Hmmm. Maybe I need to upload more than the *.exe file!

Seems to be that you're the first that are using the new *.exe!

I'll send to you a zip with the other files, if we fix the problem, then, will replace the actual zip in the forum.

Edit: have you downloaded and installed the big zip with 8 Mb? Because the second zip (the small), only have the upgrade.

But to install the 1.1, have you copied the new *.exe over the old *.exe, but keeping all the other files inside the folder?
