What? So now this becomes smack talk? I expected better of you in this forum

LOL, chill out a bit. If I would have truly wanted to talk smack about it I would have done it in that forum.

Actually there are some scripts I use that will automatically CBY me out if something bad happens - such as a ptorp hit and no corpies for backup - depends on if the fighters I have will cost them more than the cash I have. Getting caught by an IG is also usually a bad thing when cashing as a red - never want to give someone 100M or so. In the game I caught you in, you did the best thing possible in a bad situation.

For real features that would be exceptionally cool, a getDistance and getCourse that handles avoids. A built in BFS w/ accessible arrays. A way to spit out menu output and internal menu stuff (like bubbles) to a file or array for later processing.


These are solid requests, very much inline with my own wish list. Some of these will probably get added. Another from my wishlist is inline comments, and I expect that to be included in the final 2.04 release.

Crash on exit is the most important fix from the beta. The 2.03 listening port bug has been solved, so the 2.04b workaround has been ditched, meaning the listening port works correctly again, just like 2.02. Making it database specific will probably happen eventually.

Keep the ideas rolling.

You are right, I just get a little tired of having to deal with the "Not Made Here" crap.

Sounds like a good idea to me, since I missed the classes.

Heh, no prob Kaus. I ended up bailing on Rev's solo too, so congrats to RR.

However, I do have some progress to show for bailing... a new getCourse routine for TWX that takes avoids into account.

New commands will be: addAvoid, clearAvoid, clearAllAvoids, and listAvoids.

And, while I still haven't optimized it, already the new getCourse is 5X faster than the previous getCourse routine. For a 5K universe, I can plot 5000 courses in < 1.5 seconds

Wow, how'd you improve the getCourse? That's... awesome.

Anything we should know to keep it running snappy?
