Automatic turn processing. Set it up once, and all your hosted games can be processed as they become ready.

Download Autohost (Link Updated for v3)

Note: Visit the #SpaceEmpires IRC channel on freenode for help setting this up. Getting all the paths and settings configured for your PC can be tricky, but once it is done, its done.

When running, it will automatically check PBW2 for games that are due (all players are uploaded, and/or deadline expired - see PBW2 game setup options)

Follow the ReadMe file for details, but the highlights include:

  • Make a copy of your SE4/5 installation for safety.
  • Fill out your game host login/password along with the paths to SE and your mods in the INI file.
  • Run Autohost3.exe

The known games list will start out empty, and fill in as games come up for processing.

I have rewritten the autohost, and the new version is much improved:

New autohost doesn't contain a readme or a config XML, not sure how to configure.

Updated for v3.
New readme added.

PBW has a new host/node format, so v2 will no longer work.

can I use this for custom mods that are not listed in the pbw database? Reading the readme seems to imply I have to enter a mod that is on the pbw site to run the autohost? Can anyone confirm this?

Oh, I also created my own autohost app; it has a few advantages over SJ's original version:

* Runs in the Windows system tray in the background and notifies you with a balloon when something happens.
* Has a GUI to configure mods
* Doesn't delete all savegames when processing a turn, so you can safely run it on your main SE4/SE5 install.

* Also tells you when you have new turns to play and lets you download and play them with just a few clicks!
