Utility: New version of catgod for Dom3.20

[Gandalf Parker]

I had a request on another forum. Well actually, a complaint. Someone had loaded a cbm god to a non-cbm game generating a discussion of whether or not to roll everyone back or just tell him to try with the default he got. His complaint was "Its too bad the game doesnt check that" which of course I took as a challenge.

OK I figured out a way to check gods prior to game start by starting a second game and running it thru one hosting then reading the messages. But thats kindof klunky.

Can CatGod see mods used? That would be a much cleaner method.

That's an excellent question! There's a bunch of information in the pretender files I never quite figured out, including some long strings of zeros. Since I did all my testing with pretenders generated with the base game, it's posssible mods in use are indeed recorded there and I can change catgod to report them.

Lemme take a look. I'm all but overwhelmed this week, so I'm not gonna have a chance before the weekend at least.

Sorry, gents. The pretender files don't contain any mod information nor anything saying how many design points are left.
