But not if there is something wrong with the .plr files.
I belive this is the same at PBW, and I can't see any way around that.

PBW will process if the PLR file is for the wrong turn. It refuses to accept uploads for improperly named PLR files though. That part will probably have to be up to the host to take care of.

OK, just figured out how to get it working- fantastic! I can't wait for my PBW turns to be readt so I can play with it some more!

Are you still looking for more features to add to this beast? If so, I have one:

Could yo link it somehow to the game forum at PBW for the games listed in the PBWfavourites list? I hate going through all the clicks needed to access a game forum, especially when you go to all that trouble and there are no new Messages.
Wouldn't necessarily need the ability to post there, but just to see what's new and then a direct link to open the forum in my preferred browser.

I have more sugestions too, but they would probably belong in another prgram.

Excellent progress and its looking very good - should help players of PBW and SE4 single player

Lets also hope we get a Version 2.00 of SE4 as SE5 is ready to get to market just as a existing player reward and to fix most of the remaining bugs and perhaps a few new featuers as people will still keep buying SE4 after SE5 is out (those with older PCs etc.)

SE4 is done. Please stop spamming the Boards with such statements.

Once again, thanks and congrats on the se4 companion. I still get some wierd errors and crashes from time to time and I haven't quite figured out how to drive it, but by luck more than judgement I think it's all properly configured now -I have managed to get it to automatically download & decompress a turn for me, launch the game, then after I play the turn it automatically sent it off to PBW for processing. A complete success.

And I get a little smile every time I get the "new turn has arrived" message as well (and some of the error Messages are worth getting an error for too :-)

I'm still confused a bit: how can I manually download new game turn from pbw? Need an advice.

Well, with this new Version, the error I was getting is gone but it still won't automaticly start SE4. In fact I'm getting a different error now. Everything appears to go just fine. It opens an external .txt file I use to keep track of stuff and loads the history editor just fine. But it still doesn't want to actually lauch the game. Second, whenever I try to do Anything, it kicks me back to the main screen and won't let me do anything further.

Strange... But I'm not getting any error Messages this time.

Could youy please post the manual command line from the Favorites screen?
Du you have the setting checked to close the event screen when se4 closes?

What error did you get before? What error do you get now?

This information would be very valuable to me!!!
That is the only reason I've released the app already, to get Beta information!!
