I've recently downloaded twgs v 2.19 for my own personal use. With it being on my local connection. am I able to play with 2 id's. I want to try out a few things and currently am having a issue finding a crash dummy. Unless someone wants to volunteer here :)

Put one or a few charators on world trade scripts, then go try to kill them.

Be your own "crash dummy"! :)

This is also a good way to learn how to "bot" another player, safely at home with both of your charactors.

The free version only allows one player on the server at a time.

That's what I thought. So in theory if I was to buy the full version and play with my own crash dummies. How would i set up twx to do this. As I would have to connect to 127.0.0.1:23 correct? WOuld I just set up twx like normal with 2 or 3 games going have it listen to different ports to connect but have them all connecting to 127.0.0.1

I think it allows 4.

127.0.0.1 would be if your on the local machine. Or you could just open a port on your router and invite some "crash dummies" to come test games / scripts with you. Set it up as normal, the lowest paid version I think is still 4 nodes, and JP will sell more nodes if you want or you can buy the complete 100 node 25 game for a set price. I forget the exact pricing but if you PM JP I am sure he could explain it all.

Here is the break down I just located. http://www.eisonline.com/order/

4 nodes/4 games is the "free" upgrade for those who registered the BBS door. Without any license key, TWGS is just 1/1.

Correct. Then it's $3/connection node and $2/game slot, so you can get a few nodes going pretty cheaply. The minimum order is $10, and the average order is $12. It used to cost $60 to get TW with Gold with 4 games and 4 nodes, so that's a big improvement.

BTW, you can run unlimited connections to the game with the Command Center shell. It's just TCP/IP connections that are limited.
