Unread post Blocked port report
I haven't seen this report offered in Swath or public TWX scripts (yet)

This was a report I enjoyed using that was in TWHelper, basically just reading the CIM file, and telling you if a port you've already visited was not reporting now - enemy fig blocking port report.

Is there anything like this available publically?

Something like the below might work for you:

Code:
# blocked ports
delete gameName & "blockedPort.txt"
setArray $ports SECTORS
setVar $i 11
setVar $pass 1
:begin
  send "^rq"
  setTextTrigger done :done ": ENDINTERROG"
  setTextLineTrigger port :port "%"
   pause
  :getPorts

     :port
     setTextLineTrigger port :port "%"
     getword currentline $portNum 1
       setVar $ports[$portNum] $portNum
     pause
     :done
     killtrigger port
  while ($i <= SECTORS)
    if (port.exists[$i])
       if ($ports[$i] = 0)
       # below is just to set for certain warps out - add to line above
       # and (sector.warpcount[$i] = 1)
          getsector $i $chkSector
          # ignore alien space
          getwordpos $chkSector.Constellation $pos "Space"
          if ($pos = 0)
             write gameName & "blockedPort.txt" $i
          end
       end
    end
    add $i 1
  end

Thanks guys, can't wait to try them out in my new TWGS game.

Or you could just use the Sector Finder tool in Swath. Just set the port type to "Blocked".

Very cool, thank you! I'm going to have to explore Swath more thoroughly.

That's a really long post Helix. My preference would be short code snippets in posts, longer scripts in attached files. I'm just saying...

Prom, that is a nice routine. Another example of cleverly using the TWX database.
