Competetive upgrade for SWATH users: http://www.tw-attac.com/competitiveupgrade.html
If you qualify for the upgrade, then ATTAC (with TWXSync Integration) is 24 dollars. I havent updated this page when i redid the pricing for the TWXSync.

With regards to security. Data sent from helper to the TWXSync server is encrypted and then compressed. The server games are password protected. Passwords to connect to the game are secure since they stream is encrypted and compressed. There is no key every sent since the encryption is done BEFORE it is sent out to the TWXSync server.

My suggestion is that 1 member per corp purchase a copy of the TWXSync server. Not everyone needs it; unless you use it for other things. It is a nice tool to have. You must however, have a TWXSync enabled helper.

If I were to purchase a copy would all my corpies have to purchase a copy for us to able to use it together?
No. You can purchase 1 TWXSync server per corp. Only you can run then server. That means no passing around reg codes.

Are there any plans to add support for zoc or twx in the near future?
I have been in touch with Xide. I will let him reply though

What firewalls has it been tested with and what are the typical settings you would have to change to allow connections inward to the sync server?
It has NOT been tested with firewalls. This is just the first version. It must be outside the firewall. The next version will hopefully add support for functioning behind the firewall. I know this is important as i use one also.


Are there planes to add the logging of planets?
Not right now. The reason is that there is no unique identifier for planets. If ten planets have the same name, what do i do. Possibly, I will sync the planet names in a sector.

Do you have to be attached to the game in order to sync up with the rest of your corpies?
Yes and No. Since he need to connect to the TWXSync server, you need to connect to the Tradewars game. However, hang out at the password prompt till it finishes sync (there is a status) and then put in a bad password

I will be pushing back the full 2.03 release so that I can integrate this functionality into TWX Proxy. Timeframe is not certain at this stage but I'm gunning for sometime within the next 2-3 months. This release is also pegged around some of ElderProphet's work, so it will be well worth the wait.

Information for current and future SWATH users:
- SWATH will very soon be updated with TWXSync support
- All current SWATH users will get the upgrade for FREE as usual
- The price for SWATH will remain at $26!

And we offer an upgrade from ATTAC to SWATH for $20.

By popular demand, i have updated the ATTAC Pricing. It is listed below. The website is updated!

Zilla I know you aren't Bagging me, and its cool you like SWATH, we each like our helpers and that is cool, the important thing is they help us in the games, I have the whole package ATTAC, SWATH,TWX, Proxy and the scripts that each uses, and like it all, to me no one helper is better than the other, they are just tools to use to take care of business, and I like my tools [:D]. And I agree with you about your idea of supporting the people who are out there busting their butts

but to me its just the same just to see the people enjoying themselves in one of my games. Thats my reward! Knowing they like the games. And when the players let you know you have good games it makes it all worth the while.

Now to give thanks to where it is really due,

To earth, Stein, Exide, and any others who who make these helpers we use, an to you guys I truly give the thanks and appreciation for all you guys have done to make the games better and enjoyable from the dedication you have put into making the helpers you have made. We players and sysops alike can have games for all levels for the players and hopefully the TW community will have a better run now and get more competitive now with the new introduction of the TWXSync server and the helpers that support it. And I wish you all well in your endeavors to improve the quality of game play from your helpers.

To Earth:
went to your site, hade mouse arrow hovering overing paypal button,
and then read you needed a HANDEL to register it.
ok
is the HANDEL my user name "GodZilla"
or is it the name of TWGS "Scorched Space"
or is it "scorchedspace.fedip.org"

im confused as always

Zilla, the handle is your game name, which is not necessarily your login name. As long as you use one of the registered handles, you will have full functionality with ATTAC. You can use a different one, but then its the same as using an unregged version. Hope that clears things up for ya.

so how much is it going to cost me now for these upgrades. I been using attc for 3 years ver. 4.1.7 didnt really see no reason too update too new versions till i seen this new one and plus didnt want too spend money from what it looks i have too purchase attac ver. 4.1.9 and the twxsync server am i right? If so dangittttt man!

Peace it is actually ATTAC 4.1.8
And I think it is free for the already registered ATTAC users, you need to check with earth to make sure, but from what I got from his post, it should be free.

And this is one of my biggest hangups over ATTAC. This is something Earth should really look into fixing with a new upgrade so we don't have to always stick with the same name.

I would agree I have a few scripts that require me to use a registered name although the scripts are really good ones and I use some of them all the time I still hate being locked down to one or two names it cramps my creativity.
