The thing about game settings is that game balance isn't really taught, it is more or less learned through trial and error.  Now, servers settings could be passed on, but there are some differences of opinion between sysops as to what the settings should be.  I think that the delay settings should be no delay as default settings and instead of being global, be able to change them from game to game.  Especially ship delay.  Ship delay sucks in an unlimited, but mixed with a lowered commands per cycle setting, could be interesting in some turn games.  This would at least give the players a choice of the type of game you want to play.  As it is, if you change it for one game, it effects all games.  So my opinion would be to keep all delays off unless you want to run the player off.

I know CPC is global butI didn't know ship delay was global, I thought it was edit based.



Look here, we are working on it.

Nope, my exporter output is a quick way to see what's global:

Despite the fact all of these settings show up in tedit on one of the "general settings" screens that SEEM like they'd only affect the game you're editing, changing them for one game changes them for the entire server.  It's a matter of where they're saved; the above all go to <TWGSdir>/TWGLOB.DAT, while the individual game settings go in <TWGSdir>/Game/<Gamedir>/TWCFIG.DAT.
There's really no way to make these settings individual per game other than Pritchett changing the game executable itself... You might be able to use some sort of virtualization to run two copies of TWGS that'd use different global settings, but they'd also have to serve different ports, and that'd technically be breaking license unless you paid for a 2nd registration.

Fogive me, I am, admittedly a new twgs sysop... but we all were once. Anyway, where exactly is this particular global setup screen you mention here? I for the life of me can't find it.

Thanks,

Its in the H editor (General Editor Two), option 'Y' for ship delay and option 'S' for CPC

But when you change them in one edit, it affects them all.
