 One ways
Before I bang Bot Wars on the beta server , probably this weekend, I have a quick question regarding the one way setting when banging a game.
In all my test games, I've left the one way percentage at default...I thought that was ok...but I've found several one ways that caused me some problems. For example, I would move a colt to another sector when doing SST and discover it's a one way and I'm 14 hops away from the other colt instead of 4 or 5 like it was supposed to be.
I found quite a few one ways like that.
So I like to ask you players - do you like a lot of one ways or do you prefer to see them at a minimum?
Feedback is appreciated and I'll take all feedbacks into consideration when I bang the game this weekend.

When doing SST setup, you want to plot between all of the ports. Like if you have 3 ports, plot from: A to B A to C B to A C to A B to C C to B Timberwolf wrote: So I like to ask you players - do you like a lot of one ways or do you prefer to see them at a minimum? Regular one-way settings are fine.

 Re: One ways
Might try something like this, and if you do, let me know if it works.  Code: echo ANSI_11 "Enter the all sectors to use for SST/SDT" getConsoleInput $stealSectors
replaceText $stealSectors "," " "
getword $stealSectors $sectors 1 setVar $cnt 1 while ($sectors <> 0) setVar $sSectors[$cnt] $sectors add $cnt 1 getword $stealSectors $sectors $cnt end setVar $i 1 setVAr $j 1 while ($i < $cnt) while ($j < $cnt) if ($j <> $i) getDistance $dist $sSectors[$i] $sSectors[$j] echo ANSI_12 "*Distance from " $sSectors[$i] " to " $sSectors[$j] " is " $dist getDistance $dist $sSectors[$j] $sSectors[$i] echo ANSI_12 "*Distance from " $sSectors[$j] " to " $sSectors[$i] " is " $dist end add $j 1 end add $i 1 setVar $j 1 end

 Re: One ways
Hehe. I had a similar idea, but wanted to use the bot and CF plots incase we didn't have a ZTM...
Attached in a zip. Read the TS, drop the .cts into a mombot folder.
Note: The forum really needs to accept .TS and .CTS files directly.

Note: The forum really needs to accept .TS and .CTS files directly. Yeah, the forum file types that are acceptable need to be changed. Not accepting the .ts and .cts is a bit much. I like the CF plots, that is a good idea. The version I wrote just returns a -1 and the distances may not be correct if there isn't a a ztm. I tested the one I wrote a bit ago, and it seems to work - amazing to me after yesterday's ride and celebration.

 Re: One ways
Thanks, guys. I didn't think to plot the SST sectors. I SHOULD have thought of that. Much appreciated..so I'll leave the one way setting at default then. And I agree - .cts and .ts file types should be accepted , but nothing a little workaround with a zip or rar file can fix for now. Many scripts are usually bundled with a readme or help file anyways. Again, thanks
