I think it would be neat if instead of only choosing the hour that extern runs, perhaps it could be implemented we could make extern run hourly or every number of hours or minutes or days or weeks or years or centuries..... |

That could be done through bot link when it becomes available. But the side effects of it may throw the game out of wack a bit. Like port upgrades for instance or nav haz clearing , just to name 2 things that are effected by that function. But if your just looking to clear MSL's and fed for instance , I could put together something in bot link for you to run that can do that for you on each game you care to run a TWX & telnet combo (on each game to control the bot link for that game). |

You could do it very simply using a T-Edit script now, and test how it would react once it becomes available in BotLink. |

I agree. Extern processing is very tightly integrated into the game as a once-per-day event, so just allowing it to run more frequently or less frequently wouldn't have the desired effect. A lot of work would need to be done so that the game could handle all of those things happening at a different pace. There are probably a few things that extern handles that you'd like to gain a bit more control over, and an extern-replacement for Botlink is a great place for that kind of feature. |

Just looking for more options for tradewars. If extern happened once per minute you could run some very interesting games.... and same way if it ran once a month!!!! Lolz lets break everything U ever knew about tradewars and give OPTIONS OPTIONS OPTIONS cuz i love pushing buttons. |

I'm not against options. I just think Botlink is where a lot of this stuff needs to be handled, because I won't be able to implement every interesting idea that gameops have. |
