The java app that Torvak's done is posted on my site, available for immediate d/l. It's a .jar file, not an .exe, so it should run under linux, right? |

Re: 3rd party Apps wishlist
It's handy, but its DOS/Windows only. Though modifying it into a linux shell script should be trivial ...

Re: 3rd party Apps wishlist
I have started a personal project with php to make the hosting with my friends easier (uploading 2h, auto-hosting, emailing trn).Maybe when i've got it finished i would extend it to general purpose, like Space Empires IV PBW (creation and administration of games by Users).
I hope to have enough free time to do it

Re: 3rd party Apps wishlist
I wish for a 3rd-party app that would rip the stats of all units to .dm format. That would make my life 100x easier.
Secondly, ripping the unit icons to .tga format.
It would take either a hacker (doing things that are technically illegal, though I doubt IW would mind) or a dev to accomplish these.

This is something Id love to see. Actually I looked into it abit but the upload apps were too involved. All I wanted was to make a page of 17 links and clicking Man-upload would upload C:\publi~1\dominions2\GameName\man.2h and clicking Man-download would ftp down the man.trn
If you click the "search" thing in the upper right of the forum and look for "server" in the subject you will find alot of material on this project

Re: 3rd party Apps wishlist
Why not ask the folks from Stars! Autohost if it would be possible to tweak their perl scripts to work with DOM2 ?
For all of you who don't know Stars! and it's Autohost:
Stars! is a turn-based strategy SF game (spreadsheet in space) which is feature very much the same structures as DOM (map/turn/orders - files, Client/Server mode of the app for multiplayer games). Some did a webbased autohost years ago, which features a rather nice frontend now.
Check it out here .
