Setting up Swath & TWX

I use Swath and TWX , so this is my setups.
This will make the transaction that much easyer for Swath users.

Start both TWX & Swath , now every game you play you will need
to make a database .. one in Swath and one for Twx.
Use identical names (eg. VidsB : server name and game letter)

Swath will store This info normally in My Documents directory.
Twx will store it in twx/data.

Ok , Now lets setup ..

In Swath .. Each new game I have to set these (they default to other settings)

in Game Options :
Game ID --- make sure it is not set (not needed if useing Twx always)
Hostname/IP Actual game Server address
Port Actual game Server port
Username or Password Leave blank
Sectors: (game max sectors)

Auto Login: NO <-- this is important
Run init script UN-CHECK <-- also important

Game Proxy settings <--- the MAIN change
Hostname/IP localhost and Port 23 (for twx listening port , normally 23)

So Twx scripts don't conflict with Swath
In Game Options / Miscellaneous
turn Haggle Setting OFF
Under Preferances / General
turn TransWarp when ready OFF (uncheck)

Ok , done here ..

Lets SetUp TWX now ...

Right click the icon in tool bar .. setup/program tab
first listening port = 23 (will be differant for each swath/twx combo pair , can be 23,26,2005,2006 etc.)
Only check these
Broadcast ...
Cache ....
Then go to server Tab
Add to make DataBase
Fill in name of game (database to match swath one)
server address (real one)
port (real server port)
sectors
check Use login script
for now leave as is (later get 12_login.ts from http://www.grimytrader.com/)
Login Name
Password
Game letter
OK
OK

Now Back to Swath :

Press ON the LiteBulb & Parse incoming text and Game Proxy Mode.
Now CONNECT on Swath ( Making sure you see [Registered to #XXX] [Proxy] <-- This is now visible)
You are Not Online Yet!

Now lets go Online :
Double click green ball (TWX in Tool Bar) and connect for real.

Once in game
Check your CN Settings .. type CN and check options
1 - ON , 2 - off , 3 - off , 4 - anything other then 0 , 5 - on
6 - Yes , 7 - No , 9 - SPACE , A - Compact , B - No , C - Off

or Run _vid_startup.ts found on http://www.grimytrader.com/

Then its a matter of making macro's and ready your system for launching scripts.
In Swath Preferences / Scripts / Page 2
make sure TWX Proxy settings Script directory is pointing to your TWX scripts.
and at Top of Swath Tab marked Scripts / Script Tools / Reload All Scripts.

Quote:

From Stein :
Looks OK, but the part about "Auto Login NO", "Run init script
UN-CHECK", "Haggle OFF", "TransWarp OFF" won't be a problem if Helper
Mode is OFF and it will turn off automatically when you Connect in Game
Proxy Mode.
You can also enter the GameID and Username/Password if you want to
connect as normal, without TWX. That is the idea anyway. That part won't
be used when you are in Game Proxy Mode.
So the key thing here that you need to stress is to use the Game Proxy
Mode and the Game Proxy Settings when you want to connect via TWX Proxy,
then everything will work just fine
