Currently here's how I upgrade the server

Move existing major release folder to backup with major-minor name

mv ./dfdir/40 ./dfdir/40.05

Then I have to figure out if the new version I install is backwards compatible for the maps.

If not, update the templates folder to set new maps for the new major version. Move the previous major version to major-minor

If it IS compatible, just run df_dl_install.sh for the new version

Then do an ls in the old version folder to determine which users were playing.

Run ./DGL/bin/dwarf-fortress-launcher.sh player major-version for each player

This initializes those directories with the new version but also copies the default maps

You then need to rm -r the save directory for each player

Then copy the save directories from the precious version.

This is clunky

Need an upgrade script that you can run and do all this but I see a few issues

1. need to tell the script if there is compatibility

2. after months or years of running you will acquire a ton of players. Need a better way to handle this.

Use ee or virus
Ensure each player only edits their file
No error checking for now

Currently all bots spin up separately and connect to lunarnet. Would be nice to allow them to pick from a list of servers.

Requires updating how dwizzell gets server connection info.

Requires a way for players to input their preference via console

Need to follow crawl approach and put ALL milestones/logfile info into single files for ALL players

Then point a SINGLE bot at the file to announce milestones/logs

Means parsing all gamelog.txt lines and reformatting them into a consistent format.

Could possibly use sound sense logic to do the parsing

Allow users to view and config the dfhack init stuff

Currently when starting a game you often get a bunch of error or warning messages. They often scroll by quickly and disappear before being able to read them

Pipe all messages to logfile for that game and make it accessible to the player
