| ORDER OF HOST OPERATIONS: |
|
| |
Notes: |
|
| |
Every action is
completed in a certain order. Therefore, understaning the order of these
operations |
|
| |
can give a player an
advantage. |
|
| |
The
order of Host operations plays a very important role in VGA Planets. With the
correct 'manipulation' of this |
|
| |
order, you can help
ensure that your Ships and empire perform operations either before your enemy
or instead of your enemy |
| |
The Auxhost1.bat and
Auxhost1.ini files are used for Addons. Notice that the placement of these
files is before most |
|
| |
standard VGA actions.
Therefore, you should know your Addons and which Addon Abilities run in the
Auxhost1 file |
| |
The Auxbc.ini file is
for combat actions for Addons. If used, it will generally take the place of
the standard VGA combat system |
| |
The Auxhost2.bat and
Auxhost2.ini files are also used for Addons. Notice that the placement of
these files is after most |
|
| |
standard VGA actions.
Therefore, you should know your Addons and which Addon Abilities run in the
Auxhost2 file |
