Hi everyone,

The wanderer pointed out that the configuration listed for PList 3.2 was the same as the PList 2.4 configuration. I therefore updated the PList 3.2 building block. It's still not 100% Degi's recommended configuration, but much closer.

Here is the configuration for a "Pleiades" game started on my test installation:

#
#  PHost 4 Configuration File -- Simple Version
#
#  This is a simple configuration file for starters. It contains only
#  the required parameters; all the little "unimportant" ones were left
#  out.
#
#  This configures a "standard" game with PBP build queue, all PHost
#  features on (except remote control which is confusing to many
#  beginners). The choice of battle type is done with the shiplist.txt
#  file.
#
#  This file does not contain a %PCONTROL section; add one if you wish
#  to have add-ons in your game. "complete.src" contains a pcontrol
#  section which you can copy.
#

#  Overall game characteristics

#  Player Preferences
#
#  Players can change these using CP commands. You can turn off the
#  "Language" command if you only have the plangeng.hst language file.
#  In "Language", the first element is the Host's choice of language.

#  all clients).
