Automated PBW Game Turn?

In this case, the default would be the one that the installer starts with.

If you don't tell it to go somewhere else, it will go in the default folder for the RTC.

PS: as for the URL, you might have been trying to use HTML.

Try: [ URL=www.somewhere.com] This is the clickable text label [/url]
Which gives:
This is the clickable text label

Hehe, welcome to the wonderful world of windows. There are sixteen ways of doing everything, but only 10 of them are the correct way.

As with everything else the meaning is in the context. In this context when it says the default directory it is refering to the directory the the Java JRE tries to load itself to by default. This will have nothing to do with the Space Empires directories or anything else.

Once you have loaded the java JRE the PBW RTC client program (It will ahve a .jar extension) goes in your default Space Empires IV directory, that is the same one withthe Se4.exe program.

Hope that clears it up.

Cool. To post my own clickable text lable, do I remove all the brackets? Or just the middle two. i.e.===> ] and [.

No, you just have to remove the space between "[" and "URL=..."

The number one reason I haven't used the RTC is based on an assumption. I have a limited amount of RAM and am loathe to install any program that sits in the background and uses up what little I have. Is RTC or JRE one of those programs? I've been assuming they are.

The program is all geoschmoe says it is. It automates almost everything...

Kim, if no one has answered your question before the next turn, I will try to get an answer on how much the programs are a memory hog. But, I need to wait till the turn to do it.

The only disadvantages, that I can see are
1) Additional memory useage.
2) Additional cost if you pay by the hour for your connection to the internet.
3) Free space on your hard drive is used to store the programs

There is one other downside, which I am hoping we can fix in a future Version. If you are in the middle of a turn and lose your internet connection, or PBW goes down, it closes SEIV. You don't get to finish your turn. It can be quite distressing if you are towards the end of a lengthly turn. Fortunatly it doesn't happen often, but the possibility is enough to turn some people off from using it.
