Hi People!

Is it possible to create a template-setting to create identical games over and over (with identical I mean identical settings)?

not in a direct way ... but you can use the User Created Stories (self made single level players) to create a setup

and use it as multiplayer game, if you click on host instead of play.

@Sudakan, I think that's a really great idea, actually.
These templates could then be shared publicly if desired. And there could be a list of the most popular game settings.


In theory the admins could make the map editor do such a thing...
How it could work: you place homeworlds manually, and then the rest of the planets could be scattered randomly created, based on the settings.

I think this would actually be really good for some things, e.g. if you wanted to make a 2vs2 Blitz format. (Especially one that included Campaign advantages! :) )

I just tested it ...

Use the hosting tab - click on Level Editor ... create an setup ... safe it and use the describe way (by user story lines) to host it ... you can setup every type of game you would like to have.

Yes. Use the API to create games. This is my preferred way of creating games.

I access the API through Python, but the version of Python on that system is ancient, and there's additional code to handle the missing features. Because of this, and how ugly that extra code is, I won't release this script.

What I can do is create a script just for you, and generate games for you as requested.
