Only reason I do not like Gridders in a game with Gold Aliens is because of the messages and the chance for the twmail.dat file to corrupt. I am surprised that over 100k in messages wouldn't go currupt unless you were the only player in the game. I think I only have 2 games out of 5 on my server that have gold aliens. And one has 6 races with only a few aliens in each race. I do not want gridding in the one game with 6 races and I have that posted on the log-in screen.

I am guessing, but I think Bethel is concerned mainly about massive gridding, however even a very small grid can produce a lot of fig hits depending on the location and if the aliens are in kill mode or not. You have to have some figs out for planet trade and trying to hunt someone without a grid is harder to do (yes you can hunt them down w/o a grid using certain scripts to find them).

One way you can help out is by deleting your messages fairly often. Use a script that will list the messages and abort the pause and then clear them out.

Traitor, you've probably done as much toying with displays as anyone, including the TWX_TOGGLEDEAF feature. That is exactly how you'd want to do it though, using TWX in deaf mode. What makes the most sense to me is testing lines to see if they match filter criteria, and pass non-matches along using clientMessage.

The openMenu bug should be fixed in the next TWX Proxy release.

That's sick about what one alien can do.

Yeah What he said! I feel over 5% of map with single fighters gridding. It is the only game on the server I do not want it done. The Map is 20000 sectors that comes to 1000 sectors you are allowed to place single figs if i did the math right. If I find more than that in that game for a single corp or player, they will all become rogue real quick.

Yet another interesting server rule sort of thing that will become possible when I finish my read/write data access library. I could easily write a TSR that monitors grid %'s by player/corp in realtime. It will take a little more work with the mail system to set up an automated way to tell the player why his fighters are disappearing, but I'm confident I will find a way to do that as well.

e.g.


Or whatever [:)]
