Emulating 56k Modem - pacing settings (Z in tedit) at default.

TWX - 2_BuyDown.ts does NOT work
Naming planets (.) does NOT work

Naming planets (,) DOES work
TWS - 2_WorldSSM.ts DOES work
TWGS - 2_WorldTrade.ts DOES work

Naming planets . only doesn't work because that
triggers the timer stuff. That will be changed after
JP is done. The 56k modem pace won't affect
either of those. What it will do is make ptorps a
lot slower... which means a macro gridder will
have a field day.

TWX - 2_Col.ts DOES work

I've upped the colo regen to 65k per day, it was at the default setting of 750. So, now the Sandbox will have plenty of colos to build with.

I'm running a mixed corp Myself and my Evil counterpart are cloaked at SD. Somegal has 9M.

Corp 2 PW TEST. Jump in and use whatever you need to test with.

Only time will tell how this will play out for certain. I am concerned that the 2_BuyDown.ts script didn't work. I have a very simplified buy-down script Kav wrote for Zoc, and that does work. It does not haggle, only 100% + over-haggle %'s.

I was thinking of rebanging this one with the Gold editors turned on, give us more stuff to play with, but I'll keep it stock and upped the colo regen. I'd like to run more basic type tests before we turn the Gold editors on.

It will take a little time of course to get mobile planets online, but we need colos to do that and 750 a day just is a tad lite.

Very odd.. I'm the CEO, Comet is a corpie yet he's flying a Corp Flag.

Could be a very old bug.

TWX - 2_BuyDown.ts DOES work today.

The only thing I've done differently is to silence all messages, but yesterday messages were not a problem. Here's my cap from yesterday:

Command [TL=00:00:00]:[9749] (?=Help)? : L

<Preparing ship to land on planet surface>



Land on which planet <Q to abort> ? TNL1

Invalid registry number, landing aborted.

If it's based off my game, the corp flag is open.

2_buydown should work fine. There isn't really a
point in checking which scripts work. Nothing
was changed that would affect the usability of
most scripts. Just the . thing and the new data
in the @.

I only reported that 2_buydown didn't work, because it didn't. While it very well could have been me, you can see from the screencap above that something wasn't right. And I immediately went into the SubZero game and did a 2_buydown without a problem. I dunno what happened.

As for the Corp Flag, yeah, I'm still not used to all that's possible with today's TWGS settings.

Problem looks like a planet scanner issue. The
script is doing this..

send "ltnl1*q"

Or something like that, but you have a pscanner
or multiple planets in the sector. That's causing
the "Land on which planet <Q to abort>" prompt
to appear and you're hanging on that. That's not
an issue of the beta, it's just a bug in the script.

Most people, infact pretty much nobody, uses
2_buydown anymore. CK's buydown has been
integrated with the bot for years, it should work
fine here. It has a much more precise haggle,
altho it's definitely not perfect.
