SE4Batch status?

[Ruatha]

Isn't it easiest to make your own batch file and customize it the way you want it, in notepad I made this one (Am at work so I can't test it but it should work):

code:

---

@echo off >NULL





set counter=0



:loop

set /a counter=%counter%+1



echo Running automated turn number %counter% now.



Gamepath\Se4.exe "Game" "password" "0" "modname"







if "%counter%"=="%1" goto **** 



goto loop

ut

---

Where Gamepath is the full path to the SEIV exe file.
Game is gamename with the full path
Password is master password, if none enter a space between the " ".
Modname is ofcourse the name of the mod.
The "0" means you are running as host.

The line could look like this:
c:\games\space Empires IV Gold/SEIV.EXE "c:\games\space Empires IV Gold\FQM_Deluxe\Savegames\NGC4" "iammaster" "0" "FQM_Deluxe"


Save the file as auto.bat and call it as auto 10 in the run dialog box or a dos window to run 10 turns, or whatever number you desire.

Edit: Made for Win XP / 2000
EDIT 2: **** means End in Swedish...

Yeah, it has a somewhat different meaning in English...

Ah, the joys of language.

Sure it's easier. And your method works too (just checked). Thank you Ruatha.

Yep, the method that you described is the right one to run the SE4Batch in XP/Win2000. I did it work with Win2000 thanks the Unknown_Enemy suggestions when I was running the Death Match2.
About the Ruathua method, think should work too, but when I did some test (some years ago), had problems trying to get backups.

But I sent you the files 2 times! The first time, your standard mail rejected it due lack of space, but when sent you the files to your other email, have not received any message about reject...

Can someone repost the Batch file then, one that does work in XP with instruction on how to use it. Please with sugar on it.

Send it to ftp://imagemodserver.mine.nu/uploads and I'll get it posted for you.

Unknown_Enemy, if I'm wrong about Notepad, correct me please and maybe rewrite this howto in good language if you wish. I'll delete my post when.

Not much sense with ruatha's little batch.You only need to add a auto backup every xx turn and you have a new SE4BATCH file.

I had problems to solve it when some years a go, wanted to use a Bat file like it...
At least in Win98, the Bat file runned se4 in simultaneous, without wait until the previous turn is finished.
Example, if I setted the bat file to run 5 turns, then, it runned SE4 FIVE times at the same time, without wait the first turn finished...
I did several test but never was able to run it well...
Maybe in XP/Win2000 this is different, but in Win98, the Bat file was not the solution.
