I don't quite know how to say this but from what I read at http://twgs.org tonight Rave is no longer with us.[V] Who has been working with her on her script ideas is unknown.

I didn't see this mentioned, but i didn't read too hard either
One of the things people really liked about the V2 add ons were the alien races. I know TWGS has the alien server and the alien AI stuff that hasn't been worked on/completed yet.... could this be another thing that could be done, or is this best left to the Alien AI that is coming one day?

I've just started working on a couple TEDIT scripts. Just recently someone was posting in one of the other forums here on EIS in regards to the old v2 extenders that several third-party developers wrote for the old door game. Some of those addons added some interesting twists to the game, and I've started putting together a couple scripts that mimic those old addons for TWGS.

Currently in the works:

Supply Ship (based on SimSoft's SUPPLY SHIP extender): About 60% finished right now. Just working on the schedule automation and game config management end of it. Resupplies a X (sysop definable) percentage of ports in a Trade Wars game, setting all inventories back to 100% on any port that it stops at. It also clears the last robbed field and the last ported field, and will deliver a load of colonists to Terra. Might be interesting for those unlimited turn games where even at 200% restock ports are drained too quickly.

Wandering Stardock (based on SimSoft's WANDERING STARDOCK for TW v1): About 50% finished. Shouldn't take much at all to finish it up though. Pretty self-explanatory. Every X (sysop definable) hours the script relocates StarDock. It does this correctly so there's no crosslinking, moves the FedBeacon, etc. Can set to always move SD every X hours or set a percentage check for each X hours.

TW-MISSIONS (can't remember who originally developed this): About 5% finished right now and by far the largest of these scripts. Will assign missions to the general public (via log announcement) or individual players (via MAIL). Current ideas for missions include destroying a specific alien (for both blue and red players), capturing a planet (for both blue and red players), doing your fed duty (blues hunt a red player), taking on contract work (reds hunt other reds or a blue player), etc. I'm still looking for additional mission ideas... This one is going to take a bit longer to finish. It's already getting pretty complex and I'm not even that far into it yet.

If these are TWX scripts that you'd be interested in using, let me know. Obviously I don't want to put to much time into them if the interest from Sysops isn't there. If you have any other ideas for sysop utilities, don't hesitate to let me know. I'd be more than happy to work up utility scripts for all of you.

I just heard today from EleqTrizt that Rave is no longer with us. He didn't have a lot of details, so I dropped in here to see if anyone knew anything.

I had started on a couple of "Third Party" utilities about 18 months ago.

Various things (work, surgery, family, work, family, holidays) have interfered. In fact my home computer network has been down since September.

Well, I just got it back together, and I think I will have a bit of time over the next few months to do somethings.

I read in one of the other forums here that Rave passed on, it is mostly unsubstantiated sice one person was bitching at another for being unsensitive to the feelings of others, but untill we hear from Rave (and no she hasn't responded to my emails) we should assume it is true. If it is true I'd like to say that she will truly be missed.

I talked to Macahan at Fament on ICQ. He told me that Lisa was in a car crash on November 24. She was taken to hospital where it was found that an anueryism in her brain had burst (possibly this was the cause of the accident) and that her brain readings were flatlined.

She had a living will that stated if she was ever in this position she was to be taken off life support, which was done.

I late found the original post about her death at http://www.twgs.org, the direct link is:

I still have not taken her out of my ICQ contact list yet. She'd probably think I was silly, but I just can't do it.

Thanks for the link, Zentock.. it still hurts, over a month later. As long as she lives in our hearts and memories, she can't be forgotten.

Hello all, I'm new here, but not to the TW2002 game.... I ran a Renegade BBS (Diamond Express) from '89 to '97 on dial up..... I shut it down due to no callers since the Internet was the hot ticket! Well, I did a search on TW a few days ago for ha ha's and was amazed at what I found, TW alive and kickin on the net! I had a mix of 2 TW, 2 TWv3 and 2 TW Gold on my BBS ( cuz I love the game) and all registered. I also have both the extenders E1 (Supply Ship, TW Pay Day, "Q", Bank Robbers and Entity). E2( Vulcan’s, Klingons, Cardasians, Bajorans, Romulans and The Borg). Also had Trade World, TW-Missions and everything else. Needless to say I got very excited about this and dug out the last full tape back-up of my BBS(THANK GOD I DID THAT!! I HAVE NO CLUE WERE ALL MY TW CODES ARE). Any way.... As soon as I scrape up the cash to register TWGS, I have an IP not doing anything (Not Anymore!! ) and plan on fire’in it up!


I also would like to get my BBS back online on the net.
Well, Now that I've board you to tears I'll shut up. I'm glad to see TW is alive!!!

Thanks.
