I whipped up a script today to create a warpdata file. I needed to test a script in a 20k universe game, but didn't wanna ZTM..hehe

Also useful for those sysops who would like to provide their users with a warpdata file so the game can get started right away. I know some players who don't play 20k games 'cause they don't like to ZTM them. Well, now you can pass out the warpdata to them!

Anyho', check it out on the site I'm bulding... http://tradewars.wotok.com

Won't it work as well to log in as your observer with your helper, and then just do a CIM of sector data (since an observer has all sects explored) then just save it in .twx format? I am a noob sysop and was just playing around with TWGS and seeing what the observer could do, and thought of that.

Will that work, or am I missing something?

Heh, that't work too. Didn't know abou the observer being 100% explored. Yea, could do cim report, then just export warpdata to file.

now that would be so neat, hope it works and some sysop's do that

I use ATTAC and did the export to a txt file, seemed to work great and only took a couple minutes. All you need to do is log in as an observer, have your helper do a sect. data CIM, and export. I suppose you could also have all the port data handy as well. I'll have to throw up a couple stock games with data available when I'm a little more learned in respect to TWGS and being a sysop.

Might be just as easy to run the warpdata script as it is to create an ambassador account, login, cim and export.
