I do appreciate your enthusiasm. In the context that all of my work is focused on extending Totalhost:
-I don't consider split fleet/dodge a bug given the changes to the Patrol order in jrc4 (How you'd even fix that in .x files I have no idea).
-I plan on filtering for the "Stealth pick up pop", correcting much like the ability to colonize with colonizers with no colonization module that I can already fix.
-I plan on figuring out how to clear the queue for AR starter colonizers, but I don't know if it's possible from a .x file.
-I have no idea how to fix a queue blocked due to lack of minerals (and I don't consider it a bug - manage your queue).
-I believe I've already fixed for CA player info.
-I don't know how I'd calculate (or fix) for the 512 fleet limit. In a hosting context I could possibly review submitted files and figure out how many fleets there would be, and warn people. . . but I've already made a stab at fleet info, but I'm hindered by the block not being translated enough. That's probably more complicated than I care to bite off. Someone who helped out with that would make that process faster. . .
-For that matter, my code is on Github, so if you want a tool, either submitted code to me, or modifying the TH code and submitting it would also speed things up. TH includes a tool that will let you display the decrypted data for a block type. Patiently making changes to a file and noting the changes can lead to determining heretofor unknown block information.

For several things I plan on displaying notes/warnings on submitted turns, instead of making actual changes.


The groundwork for writing external management tools is the library/API raptor is building. Much of my work is leveraging that Java API into perl tools (just the tools that I want). Smile and I want to fix/detect/clear bugs, not change the game.
