Had a question from a couple players in a game who were having a bit of trouble with issues involving LRA, Fake Bust and a bit more as they were using different helpers and TWX scripts at the time. Anyone with help about how to avoid those kind of conflicts would be appreciated...as well as how to keep it from happening while running SST and SDT. 1st thought I have is keeping notes on paper when corpies are running Zoc and Swath helpers and one in Rev Helper and other in TWX. Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't it be great if TWX tracked Last Rob and Busts inherently? But until it does, I'd encourage scripters to use the sector parameters (setSectorParameter & getSectorParameter) to track this information. I'd be happy to help anyone who wants to try and script a solid corp bust tracker.

Hey try this next time....paper and pencil, write info down

I know kinda old fashioned, but it does work well, and if you feel really techincally advanced use ur game notepad in swath...

rev-helper has a corp bust tracker - it leaves corp memos that are actually read by the login script and by the red scripts so that a clear record of bust clears is kept. (my scripts also read ck-bust memos - an idea ck borrowed *cough* stole *cough* from me.)

the problem is that if everyone doesn't adopt the same feature - and implement it correctly - then the solution breaks down when people aren't using compatible scripts.

Does these questions involve working to clear eachothers busts and working in a team type situation ?

For scripters... it's an easy add. I use saveVar for LRA and a sector parm that has the timestamp of the last bust.

hmm... seen this b4.. Rev's does keep track of bust, BUT... doesn't clear when a corpie bust there... hence the conflict... he is clear but not in rev's database... answer... manually clear em..using _clear_bust.zrx ... or use rammers Team SDT

love Rammars team sdt - can make loads of cash fast - didn't know it was public yet though so been keeping it to myself out of respect for the ram man himself.......
