I am not sure if anyone posted about it yet, but I just learned that there is a new update to Swath (as of about a week ago). So if you use that helper, go grab it and post some thanks in their forums

Anyone else have problems w/ the way it handles scripts? Half of mine don't show up in the list, hence can't be loaded as a macro. |

Does it still have to connect to his website for verification? If so, I won't buy it. If he ever changes that feature, I'll consider it. |

yeah, it still phones home to momma for verification on startup. I guess that is kind of scary, but I've only had troubles getting verification like twice in the, what, five years or so that I've used it? Not too bad really, I've been on game servers that I wished had that kind of connectivity. I'm curious about the new WSSM.. Anyone tried it out yet? Anything else new in it? For what you get, I really think Swath is quite a bargain. That being said, only a total newb would rely on only Swath for gameplay in any kind of competative game. |

1.9.2 is still buggy. It won't recognize half my scripts, __ck_surround.cts ... not a chance. It looks like it just randomly selects from my scripts directory whatever it feels like picking, and won't let me use the rest. Until that's fixed it's 1.8 all the way. I guess if 1.8 stops working I'll have to switch to zoc... ick. |

If you upgrade to the new swath .. Do read the Revisions file on the new directory structure. It has been moved to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Swath You will have to copy your .cfg file to that too. Then in swath you will have to re-aim your trigger because Cherokee scripts are now being grouped unlike the loose structure that previous versions did. Not really a problem , but it may make a non programmer panic. Don't fear , with a little understanding you can be back up and running. As always , don't switch helpers in mid tournament. Tournaments are not the time to relearn things. |

k, seen the issues talked about here, but what is in the new version that would make a user want to upgrade? If it works w/o the online verification, then that might be enough to make me want to switch, but if it is just some upgraded scripts in SWATH, then there isn't any reason as I don't use them anyway. If ZOC had the graphics map and the near fig option then I would use it. Ship stats I already have a script that will display if using ZOC and a pseudo map that works in TWX. |

Did all that, I've tried it both with the grouping and without. Not only are my CK files gone, but hundreds of others too. It's a list size issue, I had the same problem w/ 1.8, but only when I had a lot more files in the tree. Before I had approx 5000 files, and it'd do it, now I can't get over 1k. In a perfect world swath wouldn't argue about what scripts I want to load, it'd just ask what the file name is and load it. As it is now, it only loads them if swath can see it... which causes problems. Quote: Not really a problem , but it may make a non programmer panic. Don't fear , with a little understanding you can be back up and running. Yea, except it's not up and running the way it should be. It still doesn't see half my files. It's a problem with swath. I've gone thru the entire list of files in the pulldown and these scripts just aren't there... anywhere. |

Ok Sing. maybe check your prefs and see where swath is looking for your scripts. Point swath to the right path , then under Scripts tab/script tools load scripts Stien has increased the script count limit from 999 to 2k also he has increased the Class 0 window in the tool bar of swath to show large (5 digit numbers) As well as macros buffer size from 999 1000 as default , making a macro loop count correctly. He said he has made the resource mover faster , but I have not seen much in that area. I have had to move my old swath.cfg file to that new directory structure to see all my macros and keys I had set before. But then again everything is still on my c: drive set in default. I know some players put/ install to D: drive , could this might be your problem ? Hope I can help you nail down the problem and get you back to 100% Let us know the results. ttyl |

Quote: Ok Sing. maybe check your prefs and see where swath is looking for your scripts. Point swath to the right path , then under Scripts tab/script tools load scripts Nod, it's in the correct spot. It loads some of the scripts, just not all of them. Quote: Stien has increased the script count limit from 999 to 2k So what's that mean for really large counts like 5k? =) I've got a lot of scripts, most are in the directory tree as subdirectories, and a lot of them are includes or alternate versions, or whatever. But you know how it is, new game comes up and there's old problem w/ a slightly different twist. So you take an old script and make a few tweaks to it, save as a new name, voila. I move those to a subdirectory so as not to crowd the main script dir, but all of that's parsed into the script list. Be nice if I could either instruct swath not to read in those subdirectories, or a way to bypass the file check before the script is loaded. Quote: also he has increased the Class 0 window in the tool bar of swath to show large (5 digit numbers) Hrm, never noticed that problem before. Quote: As well as macros buffer size from 999 1000 as default , making a macro loop count correctly. Nice. Quote: He said he has made the resource mover faster , but I have not seen much in that area. Yeh, I just use macros or one of a half-dozen scripts. Quote: I have had to move my old swath.cfg file to that new directory structure to see all my macros and keys I had set before. Yea, it moved to app data instead of the swath program files dir. Not sure why that change was made, both worked fine, and the app data dir is marginally harder for some to backup... but doesn't really matter much. Quote: I know some players put/ install to D: drive , could this might be your problem ? Nah, only 1 partition that's of consequence, C:. |

One thing I have noticed is that when using mombot, the up arrow macro is not working correctly for using the command line. Anyone else having the same problem? T0y |

T0y Snipped from Grimy: Code: If you want to use the history feature and edit the command line in SWATH you must: Create 4 macro's in SWATH called uparrow, downarrow, rightarrow, leftarrow ----------------------------------- uparrow ^(1c) down arrow ^(1d) right arrow ^(1e) left arrow ^(1f) Create 4 triggers in SWATH to call these macros and it will now treat the arrow keys the same as in ZOC or any other terminal for the bot. |

Yea I got those the right left and down work fine but I used to use the up arrow to scroll through the last several items, it doesn't work now. T0y |
