The alarm is the same as the disconnect alarm so you only have to maintain one sound file for it. True current sector monitoring. Your current sector is always monitored in regard to distances of fighter hits - the current sector number updates whenever a fighter is hit. The script reads the new current sector whenever you enter a sector or when doing a scan from a citadel. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

River Rat did find a problem in the online monitoring window, and I think I have that fixed and uploaded. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

Edit: You also have to have a ZTM so TWX can calculate the distances. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

For some reason I get alien hits sometimes even though they "should" be filtered out. One thing I have not figured out is why some aliens get a plural name and others do not. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

There is the alien "races" title and there is each aliens "individual" title, i.e. Alien Traders, Ferrengi, Borg, etc. (in most cases the same name is used for both fields.) Then again it could have something to do with aliens that are traveling around in packs and happen upon your figs or maybe just those that are assigned a ranking structure? _________________ Your reliance upon subjective IRM's, subjugates you through utter omission, obfuscation, and distortion of fact!

I found that alien race names seem to have an extra ANSI code in their name in CURRENTANSILINE. Filtering out the normal player ansi and using a getpos allowed me to determine when it's a player and when it's an alien. You can also use a getword loop (convert all 0's to a placeholder first, then replaceText them back) to determine how long a line is and use that to parse more complex names. If you need examples, ICQ me or post on grimy. _________________ May the unholy fires of corbomite ignite deep within the depths of your soul... 1. TWGS server @ twgs.navhaz.com 2.

I am not sure why it took me so long to figure out that it might be nice to know when that nice easy target in the colt that was hitting fighters is now in a Red Rum and is hunting. Singularity - thanks for the info on using currentansiline - I haven't tried it yet, but will see what it does. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

Promethius Ambassador Joined: Mon Feb 09, 2004 3:00 am Posts: 3141 Location: Kansas	Additional script changes to ProMonitor: option to display an adjacent fighter to the fig hit sector (must be at the sector prompt when the script is started to use this) and added a "logged in" message to the online window. I am about out of ideas for this script so I will be working off of any bug reports and if anyone has ideas that are feasible for a system type script (commands can't interfere with normal game play) I am open for suggestions. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."
