Howdy Y'all:

I need to learn the ways of posting message that players see when they call in and also when they enter a game.

Heres some info I have found on other threads for you Aileron

The Basic black and white opening screen, (splash screen).
When you add a game to TWGS they are added here automatically.

Ok, under the Config, Settings window at the "Startup Menu" and "Description Menu" uncheck the Default boxes and change the name of each ANSI file to the names you chose to use for your new ANSI file replacements, (you can use the same name if you wish just copy over the orginial files.)
The ANSI files are kept in:
"C:\Program Files\Epic Interactive Strategy\TWGS".
You will first want to make new files before doing this using an ANSI editor, I assume you are already familiar with those, if not do a google search (for: "editing ANSI", "The Draw", or "PabloDraw") and you will easly find a site to download one of these programs, which is not to difficult to learn to use.

Startup Menu: This is the menu that should list the actual games and takes you into the game when that game letter is pressed.

Description Menu: This menu should list the games as well, as it allows them to enter the game number to view a description of it. These two menus can be identical in appereance or you can change them to look like whatever you want. They are basically the same, though both are required to work properly.

Under the Games window you can enter a description of each game and you can also create a more detailed text or ANSI file for each game description to be viewed, using the "Extended Info" option.

This is not an authoritive article as its something I was amassing info about for a future article. I will post this article as soon as its done.

Hope this helps you, I am sure someone will post further so give it a bit of time.

Zentock, that is the most perceptible post I have ever seen you post here.

Good Job. [:D]

You can also post an announcement. If a file called ANNOUNCE.TXT exists in the game data directory, it will be displayed after the intro ANSI. Use this file for any game-specific announcements. You can have an announcement for each game letter. So when a player presses the game letter, they will see whatever you put in there before they can continue.
It's probably one of the most underated features, and one I plan on using when/if I start my own TWGS.
