Nod. Gosubs are more like a stack call than a function. Always reminds me of assembler proc calls or API calls. Part of me always expects windows to segfault everytime I do that, laff.

I doubt money is much of a motivator. A couple hundred bucks doesn't reflect the hundreds (mebbe thousands) of hours of work it'd take, along with all the "support" you'd have to provide.

Most ppl do it for pride and ego, to be someone that's shaped the play of the game.

Well maintained scripts are a pain in the Butt and pretty thankless. Given the state of TW I don't see why anyone would want to release anything at this point. Maybe I'm lost on the sour puss train, who knows?

EDIT: nevermind. I'm just gonna stay out of this one.

hours learning TWX.. not a programmer...
hours working on scripts...
grabs Traitor by the ear come on buddy... get back in...lol

and since I been gone a while.. where my old buddies playing at now a days?

as far as the orginal topic...

maybe you should look into the history of TWX...

Xide wrote TWX originally for his personal use....

It just automated what he needed... collies cash ect

made him one of the best players of his time..

haggling was a way to make a little more cash.. or not too.. to stay fed safe...

then he shared it a little..

then wrote scripts for friends..

then they got passed out to others that weren't supposed to have them...

then he released TWX for SALE... not free...

many were happy with the free version aka pack 1

but pack 2 cost $

then others followed in suit...

most notable of them was CK with the free ones and the combat pack.

now a days most are free...

and compared to 25 to 50 for a script pack or rights...

no one should complain

I think the one I leaned the most from was Oz...

he never charged for his and tried to keep em private

the abilities of TWX far surpasses what it use to be...

while I know all scripters have their private ones...
some do relaease them locked... heh heh
nice to see your still around Sing.

If u get a friend to send u an Oz pack... thats good reading... and even the pack 1 and the includes are good to give u a hang of TWX scripts.

and I gotta give thanks to EP for keeping TWX going...

also thanks to
WildStar, Prom, Alexio, Sing, Lonestar, CareTaker, Traitor, and
have to say Oz bot set the mark in its day....
so I got to mention M()M...
everyone I mentioned above, and I'm sure I fogot a couple...
were good scripters that helped me out when I was learning...
You can never think u have any of them in any situation...

as we said for years...
Live by a script, die by a script...

I've been in battles with and against all of those I mentioned except CK and Xide

while I was considered a good player... it normally didn't work for me unless I had my back up boy with the speed... and he knows who he is....

but you let Sing pass out a game locked script.. that corp will prolly win sooner or later...

Is that a poem?

Glad to see your still sane Z, hit me up on ICQ if ur ever hanging. I second his "poem"...

rofl.... would love to see you and a lot more come out of your state of 'eclipse' and back in game traitor! OZ bot was remarkable when was built before JP removed the foton Fed bug that so many who were using it denied it was possible (Wild Star was first to mention the bug?).... I am still using many scripts in his bot package for several things as they are still state of the art code I have yet to see in the upgrades to TWX as well as the upgrades for (m)ombot. I admit I know nothing about scripting being one of the 'ultimate endusers' but over the years have been studying the weaknesses of players who use 24/7 scripts. LOTS of ways to set tiny snap traps for them...even the ones who are using unreleased code!
