Forgive me if this was asked and answered..but a search pulled up too many hits...

How do I compile a .ts file? I could have swore I would have to do so by dragging and dropping the .ts file onto the TXWC.EXE file...but it doesn't seem to work that way.

Thanks

I copy the script into the folder where TWXC is located. Then I type the following:

twxc <name_of_script.ts>

It will compile the script into a .cts extension.

I am currently guiding some Australian friends in how to play trade wars.
We may be getting new blood for the game.

And one of them shows alot of potential , he is a programmer and has helped me
in the area of the way I use to compile scripts.

My methoid was to have a cmd window open , then type command
(a bat file that changed the current directory) and then I'de need to paste TWXC.exe
on the command line and add a script name and enter ....

Long story .. why do all that he said ....

and wrote this piece ...
now just drop it into scripts directory , make a shortcut on your desktop ...
then cut & paste a file to be compiled into the new compile window.

You can edit this file if your directory structure is not the same as mine.

Using Windows Explorer, just drag the file to the folder where TWXC.exe is and drop it on top of that file and it will auto compile for you. If your doing lots of testing then batch filing it is much faster but for a single file.... Drag and Drop

If you run twxc from the command prompt, you can see some additional info about the compiled script, or the error message if there's an issue. I always copy/paste the .ts script to the directory where twxc.exe is, then open a command prompt and change directory to where twxc is (start/run/cmd/cd "c:\twx proxy"), then run twxc plus the name of the .ts file. So if the script is 1_login.ts, you'd type the following and hit Enter:
twxc 1_login

I could probably alter twxc.exe to open up a file dialog if no file was specified, then you could double-click it, and select the script to compile.

EP, the one thing I always thought would be handy is to compile straight from in TWXIDE

Just a suggestion if your looking to make something a little easier

Please download and test the compile.cmd that I posted and tell me if YOU think its better
to re-invent the wheel or go with something that has already been written to do
what is required to compile a .ts script.

Clean and simple .. who has to do all that typing .. save it for your scripts

my 2¢

I second that

Agreed. I'll see what I can do.

Sorry Vid....
Download is not recognized as a valid archive file.

Tried several ways to download it... saved it several places.
Same error message.

Your right tho why use a 20-25 year old technology when we can get the latest and greatest.

BTW I use powershell.... your old dos batch files are well old.
<Edit>
My bad I feel like Cruncher should feel

After downloading compile.zip rename to compile.cmd and it should execute then according to Vid's original post.

But I am hopeful EP adds it to TWXide

It downloaded fine for me.

From the "red edit" line in his post, I'm guessing that it downloaded for him too.

Just wondering here..... what would it take to compile TWXIDE to run in Linux? I have tried wine but either I am doing something wrong or it just doesn't like it.
