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. # % PHOST # # Overall game characteristics # GameName = Pleiades 5 AllowRegisteredFunctions = Yes ScoringMethod = Compatible NumShips = 500 AllowPlayerMessages = Yes AllowAnonymousMessages = Yes CPEnableGive = Yes CPEnableAllies = Yes CPEnableRaceName = Yes CPEnableRemote = Yes # WraparoundRectangle is only used when AllowWraparoundMap is Yes. # On a "flat" map, the map is as big as it is. AllowWraparoundMap = Yes WraparoundRectangle = 1000,1000,3000,3000 # # 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 other settings are "No" (conservative defaults that work with # all clients). # Language = English,...

Any comments?

The wanderer pointed out that some options were still missing in the configuration. The game was using PHost's built-in defaults for these, which are very similar (but not 100% identical) to the recommended values for PList 3.2.
EPRecrewScaling = 30 EPShipAging = 15 EPPlanetAging = 10 EPPlanetGovernment = 40 EPShipMovement100LY = 60 EPShipHyperjump = 60 EPShipChunnel = 60 EPShipAlchemy100KT = 5 EPCombatKillScaling = 800 EPCombatDamageScaling = 200 EPCombatBoostLevel = 0 EPCombatBoostRate = 100 ExperienceLevels = 750,1500,3000,6000 ExperienceLevelNames = Recruit,Soldier,Experienced,Elite,Ultra Elite ExperienceLimit = 9000 ExactExperienceReports = Yes
I have added these to this game's pconfig.src, and also to the building blocks.
I generally try to keep configurations as short as possible. If you think an option should be there to make the configuration easier to read (even if that option just states a default), feel free to tell me.

So, do we need to copy & paste the above into our pconfig.scr? Just wondering since the information is not in the downloadable pconfig.scr file.
The parameter "TerraformRate = 2" is also missing as it is in Degi's recommended configuration. The default value would be only 1 (to less!), when not changed!

Cherek: the player files which you can download using the web interface are generated when the host runs. You can download the updated files after the next host run.
Subli: seems I have to update even more. I already have an open bug about parameters that are slightly off. Solving that requires a little more work, because I have to touch many building blocks to make it work. So unless you insist this to be changed NOW, I would prefer to postpone the fix a little.

Ok I'll download them after the next host time.
