Another thing that could speed up starting of games is automating the game creation. Right now a person has to manually get all the race files, check them to make sure they pass the rules, gen the game and universe. In some instances they have to move planets, or do multiple gens to make sure starting positions are fair, etc. Depending on how busy the host is, this can take a week or two. If we had some scripts to do this, it could happen the same day all racefiles were in. I don't think this is an easy task though to build this.

The Totalhost websige I wrote includes game creation. It's fairly trivial to add the ability to upload manually created games (in case there were custom conditions) were there ever interest. http://totalhost.sinister.net:999

Then again, Autohost should be able to meet that specific "custom game" need now.

With .def files, scripting game creation is easy unless you have to pay attention to input validation.
