First, it would let me, as a general host, be able to readily generate a game history I could publish by being able to go back through the turn files and code-wise extract and generate videos of the game history based on the game data.

You can already extract plenty of game data/reports with simple batch files and the player's password. Cool

Second, it would solve the problem of someone dropping from a game without revealing their password, so I could (in theory) be able to turn that player position over to another player.

That is to some extent already solved, since there's tools for guessing/changing passwords. Sherlock

Perhaps these tools should be stored somewhere safe and available for use by game Hosts.

You could also decode and validate turn files against the serial # to make sure the turn wouldn't violate copy protection.

That would be neat, as would cheat- and bug-stomping tools. Whip

I'm working on some hosting tools (the reason I rewrote the starstat app in perl) but I'm really limited by the amount of information I can find about the file structure.

Hear, hear! Yes
