Hey, can anyone explain why this script seems to run fine on some servers, but seems to lock and/or bust excessively on others?

Also is the a uncompiled (*.ts) version of this script floating around anywhere?

As for busting excessively, check the game's steal setting and set your value accordingly. A setting of 100% = 30, 120% = 36, 70% = 21, I think is right.

As for locking, unsure - maybe your CS9 setting? If it locks, do a $st to see what triggers it is looking for.

The uncompiled version of the script is available as part of the source code. You can download it from the twxproxy site.

Yeah, that's it..see the steal settings are set to the game ( ie: 100%=30. 70%=21, ect) I've been playing TW way long enough to know this. However, my experience with this script is on Rev's server, UTW, and Alienbase the script works good. Busts are acceptable and the script doesn't lock. But on say, Vids or Protons server, the script locks/busts excessively with correct steal sets input.

Granted, I don't use this script as a rule, it's too easy to get #SD# with, just playing and curious.

The only version I got from the source DL of twx was turbosst.cts...

Hence the name "source release."

also on the source release codes, you have to pay attention to the script names. cause some of them are named differently than the cts ones, but they are the same.
