Host 3.20 introduced the auxhost1.ini and auxhost2.ini hooks. Host 3.22.005 introduced auxbc.ini. PHost supports these hooks as well.

  • auxhost1.ini is run between phase 1 and 2, that is, after all turn processing but before host processing begins.
  • auxhost2.ini is run between phase 2 and 3, that is, after host processing is complete and before result files are generated.
  • auxbc.ini is run immediately before combat.

These .ini files are text files in the game directory, each line containing a command to be run.

PHost does not support auxbatt.ini (you can use the PControl method as mentioned below to achieve the same results), and it does not support file extensions other than .ini for these files (Tim's host will also run auxhost1.exe and auxhost1.bat and so on).

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
