Post Setting up Swath & TWX
I use Swath and TWX , so this is my setups.
This will make the transaction that much easier 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 using 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 6060 (for twx listening port)


So Twx scripts don't conflict with Swath
In Game Options / Miscellaneous
turn Haggle Setting OFF
Under Preferences / 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 is defaulted to 23
change this to = 6060 (needs to be different for each swath/twx combo pair , can be 6060,6061,6062 etc.)
Then check only these settings on this page :
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 Vids script pack)
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 found in the Vids script pack

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 the Top of Swath , the Tab marked Scripts / Script Tools / Reload All
Scripts.

Then your ready to go.

This was very helpful, some of this SG showed me, some I figured out on my own. I had ya all the way up to the green ball - don't see that.

I normally right-click on the TWX icon in my task bar to connect and launch scripts. I find for me that's easier than launching them from within Swath. But I will have a few favorite Zoc scripts load and run from within Swath.

He's meaning the TWX icon on the taskbar. You can
double click it to connect, vs. right click and selecting
'connect'

Thanks VID. I have been trying all day to get the scripts in swath to compile on my Mindows 7 machine. Just keep getting met with errors and warnings. A friggin waste of time. I guess it's time to break out of the box.
