Nice new tidbit (Thank you Johan) for those who are hosting games. It IS possible to have multiple directorys for pretender files, map files, game saves, etc etc. Dom2 recognizes 2 important environment variables. If these are set (sitting in memory) then Dom2 will use them.....

DOM2_SAVE
default="." Save directories and the newlords directory are created here. You need write permissions here.

DOM2_DATA
default="." Data files, the maps folder and the rawsound folder must be found here. You only need read permissions here.

Do not use quotes around the variable being set. The default shown as a period means that it defaults to the present directory its in (starting directory) but if you set DOM2_SAVE to be another directory then a newlords directory can be made off of that to store game-players pretender files in (not having to overwrite your own pretender files). And game save directories will appear off of there (not conflicing with your own games).

If you set DOM2_DATA to a directory then you can have different sounds. The players wont hear them but it would allow you to have a unique sound (I believe) for things like errors in order to get your attention better. And a seperate maps directory can be created off of the dir specificed in DOM2_DATA which would allow you to have unique maps reachable by a different icon.

So now that I know how to play, where can I play with other people?
Actually this is my only complaint with dom2. I dislike SP game, but I love TBS. I was hoping for a more friendly interface. or even just a place where people meet to start game. haven't found either on my own, so I thought I would post.

Thanks for reading and all your helpful advice!!

p.s.
you guys probably don't really care, and its not important. but when you quote the punctuation goes inside the quotes. god knows I suck at where to place a comma or a period.

Either here or Dominions X Boards.

That's true according to English majors, who value tradition more highly than precision. But when I quote something, I try to ensure that the stuff inside the quotes is exact.

Edit: In other words, I know teachers count off for that stuff, but I think the concept of putting punctuation and commas inside quotes is really stupid, though sometimes I do it by habit.
