PitBossInfo

a Win32 tool for Sid Meyers Civilization 4 BtS PitBoss server administrators and their players. Generates an overview of

  • all the players
  • their points
  • whether they did their turn
  • finishing time of the actual round.

Specs:

  • written in pure c++, no .NET or any fancy libs needed
  • (more or less) lightweight win32 console app (~200k)
  • Unicode compatible (but PitBoss itself isn't...)
  • using winapi functions to read out infos from PitBoss window (even if it's minimized)
  • generates .html and .txt
  • expandable by (hard coded) plug ins to write your own output
  • supports multiple servers (using multiple instances, with command line switches)

(Required) Command line Switches:

  • -p output path and file name, without extension
  • -t refresh timer in sec
  • -l language of PitBoss (NOT yet supported, please set PitBoss to default English; in CivilisationIV.ini set Language = 0)
  • -n name of the game (exactly as displayed in the PitBoss window)

###example: *PitBossInfo.exe -p "D:/htdocs/game1" -t 15 -l en -n "MyFirstGame"* this creates the output in D:/htdocs named game1.html and game1.txt for the game named "MyFirstGame" (the title of the pitboss window is "MyFirstGame successfully saved")
