Default Re: Feature Request

You can create a quickie to make backups. In Windows for example it would be a .bat file. That way you can alt-esc and click it to copy your game to a backup directory. I think someone whipped all that up and made it downloadable for Dom1. Should work just the same for Dom2.

In fact, now that I think of it, you could set it up so that the icon for Dom2 makes a backup whenever you go into the game. Or on the way out. That wouldnt do it between each turn but it would....

OK wait. There is a --postexec switch. So actually you could set the game to make a backup every turn. Someone would have to test that. I thought the -q switch on the command line would skip the host button but it didnt (too bad, that would have been the easiest).
