Automated PBW Game Turn?

[tbontob]

As previously mentioned, RTC is very easy to use for PBW games. However, where the game requires a mod, things get a bit more complicated.

The instructions say "to use PBW for a mod game, you will need to manually modify the path.txt file in your Space Empires IV directory before joining the game in RTC."

As chance would have it, I have just started a new PBW game which requires a mod. Geoschmo was kind enough to e-mail me these instructions which simplifies everything.

The easiest way to use the RTC for mods I have found
is instead of hand changing the path.txt file, use the
mod picker. Click on the mod on the left side and hit
the "Play SEIV" button below that. This will modify
the path.txt and open SEIV. You can close SEIV but DO
NOT close the mod picker and the path.txt file will
remain with the mod path. As soon as you close the
modpicker it changes the mod path back to none.

Now with the mod picker still running you can open RTC
and play your turn and it should allow you to play it
with no errors. Afterwards close modpicker to get your
mod path back to none and you are golden.

It worked like a charm.

Kim, I have not forgotten about you. I will get you the information I promised with a "regular" PBW game.
