Hi all,

Mithro and I are working on including the single-player mode wizard in
an upcoming release soon.

A crucial requirement for this to work is for servers, ruleset
modules, and AI clients to include some XML data in a shared location
to tell the client that they are on the system, what they support, and
how to use them. The following wiki page details how they work, and
provides some working examples (for tpserver-cpp, risk, daneel-ai, and
gencon):

One important thing to note is that the command string specified for
the actual program needs a proper path for the system it is installed
on. In many cases this probably means that the installer needs to edit
the XML file to use an absolute path, so this would be done at the
packaging level. Let me know ASAP if any problems are foreseen here so
I can come up with another solution. :)

If you are planning to do a release of one of these components
(server, AI client) please let me know and I'll assist with including
the XML data.
