MrSpkr Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 During the sneak previews, one aspect of CMBB I did not check out was the PBEM program. I was wondering: (1) Is PBEM exactly like CMBO, or is there a built in emailer a la CM One Click*? (2) If there is no CM One Click* style PBEM protocol, is anyone developing such a program for CMBB? Thanks, Steve * CM One Click is a nifty little program that stores your opponent's email address, your password and keeps track of whose turn it is to send a file. When you use the program, you just open up the files in which it is your turn, and One Click opens CMBO, selects multiplayer, selects the appropriate PBEM game, and enters the correct password for you.

Captain Wacky Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 I really wish they would get rid of the "extra step" in PBEM, but IIRC it isn't going to happen with this engine. Too much code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if someone could do it for PCs, how hard could it be for Macfolk to whip something up? -dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much codelast i heard was not to expect it, and IIRC, they have not mentioned any changes to the PBEM system. doodads are a fair trade off though. chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuma of Finland Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 I think it would be more than nice from BFC to bundle the OneClick (or similar software) to the CMBB distribution - both PC and Mac versions would be nice Ok, I understand also, that writing a software takes some time and licensing one costs money. But still I think it would be very nice from them. They are nice people, aren't they? /kuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visom Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 AFAIK the only thing that has changed for PBEM is some added security during setup phases. Haven't seen it confirmed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
