Multiplayer scripts

Here's another one, that randomly assigns nations to players and emails them the results. This is a very simple Applescript, and it could even be used for things other than Dominions.

Updated versions, for the five Mac-using PBEM-hosting, script-loving, Dominions-2-playing people out there...

emailer script:
Fixed a bug that would send multiple emails to some players if there were fewer than 17 players.
Made it (even) easier to choose between sending out zipped or uncompressed .trn files.

folder action:
Will now automatically open zipped files for you, when you drop them into a game folder for which this action has been enabled.

Wow! Thanks Ygorl. It almost makes me want to host a game right now!!

New versions... The Folder Action now has an option to automatically email receipt notifications for those players that want them, and fixed a bug in the hosting script that would cause it to not clean up after itself properly (i.e. it wouldn't delete the old obsolete files) if no .zip files were in the game folder.

I am wondering if anyone of you guys who mentiond creating Python scripts have had a chance to work on them any more. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to host a provate PBEM game myself, but I can't seem to find the right thread about how to do it.

to host a pbem game look at your manual, it tells you how.

I have started to do some more work on generalizing my script and adding a CLI and GUI to it (currently I run it from python shell, directly accessing public methods), then came my work and just sucked me into a high profile project.
I haven't forgotten about this nor have I lost my motivation, I will complete this script and it will be ready, hopefully sometime in the near future.
