I have run into a snag while working on making Warcraft II multiplayer. While I am able to run multiplayer sessions, it becomes VERY cumbersome to try and edit the .conf file every time that I want to play. 😒

I am wanting to know if it is possible to set up dosbox to automatically edit a .conf file.

More specifically, I want to know if I can set up dosbox using a conf file (we shall call it "a.conf") to read my host computer's IP address. Then, dosbox inputs this information into a separate conf file ("b.conf"), overwriting the already existing IP address as needed.

I already know that I can run "b.conf" in dosbox from other computers on my network, so that is not a problem. I also understand that for this to run properly, the host computer must be started first.

Thank you for any help! 😊
