Post subject:  I need your logs.

I really need a list of all the messages the game can generate, but I doubt that exists. So I need logs! I only have the 1-node freebie TWGS, so there are lots of messages I can't make it generate. Ideally, I want raw logs including all the Telnet/VT100/ANSI crap. But stripped ASCII-only logs would be great, too. So if you have any logs from finished games, please zip/gzip 'em and post 'em here.

What I need them for:

I've been studying the open source helpers that are out there (mainly Kokua and J-TWAT, both apparently dead projects) and thinking about writing an open lexical specification to aid in future helper development.

I've actually already started on this. I spent the last couple days writing a JFlex extension that makes it easy to generate parser-agnostic lexers... i.e., the lexical specification contains no parser (helper) code, so the lexer becomes a reusable drop-in component. I think my extension is generally useful, so I'm going to put it up on SourceForge. The TW lexer spec will be the example that goes with it.

Problem is, text can change, or triggers are dynamic (like player names). A regexp parser would be nice.

The rules of a JFlex lexical specification each include a regexp and a piece of code to run when the regexp is matched. That code can access the text that was matched.

I just don't know exactly what the message says when someone warps into your sector, photons you, pods you, hits your figs, etc. I can't set these things up because I can't run two nodes.

What if I set you up as an admin on mine? 100 nodes. never been used, paint doesn't even have a scratch on it?

I appreciate the offer, but as you seem to be one of the more active and involved sysops, I may actually want to play on your server.

I got podded yesterday trying to get into Terra and then #SD# trying to get into Stardock in a game on another server with a posted "no blockading Fedspace" rule. The guy who killed me was the only player with any assets to speak of in a 7-day-old game. I hope he's having fun beating himself. Although I kind of want to go back and destroy him. He has way fewer assets than he should after 7 days...

I'd suggest you set up your telnet client to save the logs for you, or twx. I used to have daily logs throughout the tournaments i played. but they are gone now.

I could create you a private game on the TWGS beta if it would help. I think the best way is just to be able to produce the messages you need. That's even better than having a list of possible messages, I think, because you really need to see what comes across your screen after passing through all of the output filters in TW.

PM me if you want to discuss it.
