Frequently Asked Questions (And Answers)

Q: How do I unpack my RST, there is no separate program for that?
A: You needn't. JPVC automatically detects a new RST and unpacks it for you. Thus a typical first command to run would be
    `java jvpc.vpcheck.VPCheck -cpre`
Q: How do I make my TRN, there is no separate program for that either?
A: Hit 'Save' in the main window, it will save your data as well as build TRN's. Alternatively, you can try K-MakeTurn (17k C-sources), but there is no real reason to do so anymore.
Q: What are those numbered directories like GreatGame/23?
A: That's the history of your game. That particular directory contains all information from turn 23. To be compatible with other clients, this is plainly RST and TRN, accompanied by phost util*.dat, explorer xyplan*.dat files and all other files you receive each turn; note that result and turn is enough information, all *.dat and *.dis files are superfluous. Of course, JVPC copies the files automatically for you.

Q: How do I raise tech-levels?
A: That's done automatically when you select parts to build. They are also lowered again when you deselect the parts (just as the part itself is sold).
