.....

The recent TEDIT changes are a rare and special case. I went to several very active TEDIT scripters to work with them to keep their scripts going through the major TEDIT update, but the feedback I got was overhaul TEDIT and we'll adapt. Now that TEDIT has been cleaned up, I don't expect it to change, and any new changes that break scripts should be reported as bugs.

Well I enjoy having teeth that I don't keep in a jar beside the bed and I enjoy riding any kind of motorcycle but yea Harley is preferred... lol

Now that is a real problem. Everyone seems to play at Ice 9 or UltimateTW.

RP, you're not inciting anything. I'm honestly curious if there are real issues that I could address, or if it's just the same nonsense coming from Kewl and the gang, who seem to think that I'll be hurt if people continue to run v1.03 instead of adopting v2. Considering v2 is a free upgrade and v1 costs more to reg than v2, I'm not sure how that works out hurting me. My work on v2 is a gift. And I can assure you, far more people are using it than v1.03 right now.

As for getting players, no question there is a very small pool of public players right now. Most activity is in private games. Most players still don't want to play in public games because they're too aggressive. In the limited number of v2 servers running, where I can count player activity, we're up to about 900 unique players since middle of last month.

Oh, about that @ display thing, once it was made clear to me what the issue was, I was told that restoring the text "Average Interval Lag" would solve the problem, and that's what I did. Nobody ever said anything to me about "hundredths". I guess I could tack on the word "hundredths" at the bottom of the display, since it has no purpose on the current output. Kind of silly, but I could do that if anyone actually made the case that it was important. That's not what I was told.

Anyway, RP, relax. You're not causing problems. I'm just trying to gather info and make decisions about how to proceed.

Jace's Night Club has a loyal batch of players. Just saying ... lol

Jace, I can do both

Like I said in a recent post, there are still some very good features on the request list for people who play this old classic, so I'm going to keep working on it for awhile. And even once v3 is closed, I'll keep working on bug reports as long as I need to. This is something I enjoy doing (mostly).

But definitely, I am anxious to move on to a new game as well. Wheels are turning.

In my "day job", I'm currently working on an education-based game, which is good experience, but not really my passion. Another project is about to take off that is much more interesting to me, and when that happens, I'm sure I'll have less down-time to devote to TW. But we're all working toward getting TW to a point where it can be my primary focus (not classic TW, but a new game), so it's not going to be forgotten. I see a lot of the work I'm doing today, both with classic TW and in my "day job" as laying the groundwork for a new TradeWars game.

Seventeen players in Game A is pretty good. I didn't even have that many for the tournament.

I run twgs using wine with linux. I dont know if this would work but .... you might be able to create 2 instances of wine on linux and run two versions of the server by way of wine.

I thought the scripters found the challenge of scripting half the fun of the game.

They should also be able to update their scripts, and I'd think they might like to do it while you're still working on it, so that if they find something that may improve their scripting ability, or that creates a brick wall in their scripts, they can talk to you about it, and see if a resolution can be found before you make the "final" and get busy with your other better paying jobs.

PS the 1/3 move delay is hampering. I don't think you would use it on a v1.03 edit.
