Good day to all;

I am not sure if this is possible, but is there some way to make the TWGS run and still be able to add a new game without shutting down the server? I was thinking that it would be a help if you could keep the other games going and be able to setup a new game, then shut the server down or recycle it to make the new changes take affect. I understand it has to be stopped to add aliens and make active, but in the game creation end, could it not be different? Just an idea.

Try creating several more games than you actually need and just making them inactive. Then you can do whatever edits you want to them, etc. When it comes time you're ready for people to play them, shut down the server, bang the game, make it active, and bring up the server. Should only result in a few minutes down time when you want to bang a game.

NO you have to bang games with server down

Yes the way Harley said is one way , or you can use another computer to build edits on and experiament with ..then re-bang and when
ready .. transfer the twa file to Main server and either bang or run them . Very little down time if planned right.

Actually after posting that is what I did. I have the new games to setup on my workstation and then transfer over to TWGS machine. Then during the maintenance window of 1 hour, we shutdown the server and set the games up, etc.

I was only curious if it was a feature that would eventually appear. I've no problem doing it this way.
