Hello all,

I am trying to learn to edit in the new TWGS. How do I edit this line.

Maximum players 200, sectors 1000, ports 400, planets 200.

Also how can I set up my router so that players can find my games, when I am ready to start up.

Thanks

OK I figured out how to set the sectors. What is the yellow line as I move through sectors?

Sectors and ports are set at bang. What yellow line are you referring to?

As for the router, you need to research "port forwarding" and "dynamic DNS."

The yellow line shown in the png file attached

I have never seen that before. What telnet client are you using?

Wait, are you running with ansi animation on?

yes it was in animation mode on

still wanting to know how to set up router so other can enjoy the game It's been fun editing stuff

You need to setup DynDNS so ppl can follow your IP. Then you need to setup port forwarding in the router to point to the TWGS server.

OK I got my laptop with it's pc card connected to my router's IP and it found the twgs and runs good. Next is to set up dyndns. Thanks for your help. I am almost ready to buy more games and nodes.

Again thanks

I can clear up the mystery about the yellow bar. It's a progress bar. It only shows up when there's a delay longer than half a second, and when you have animation turned on. It's meant to clarify that something is indeed happening when you're using long delays, like the long Interdictor move delay.

Thanks for your help all. I am testing my desktop make sure it will stay on for a couple days and am going to load dyndns soon. Hope to be up soon. Again thanks

It will stay up reliably, the yellow bar you can shorten or lengthen the time it displays for (how to warp 1 sector to the next) from the -Z- Timings editor in tedit. Its some pretty advanced stuff in the timings, you may want to get to know the new tedit a bit before tweaking the timings.
