I'm interested in trying to teach myself some scripting. What software are you who already doing this using to both write, and compile your scripts, and can you point me to any aids that may help me in this quest. Thanks in advance. RP |

TWX Proxy seems to be the most popular: http://navhaz.com/files/twxproxy-205.exe The Navhaz Junction has a big library of scripts: http://www.navhaz.com/forums/ezdloads.php The Cabal's Secret Hideout has a nice article on TWX scripting: http://www.tw-cabal.com/strategy/twxscripthelp.html |

RP I use TWXIDE it has common commands and highlights certain routines. Depending on what I am doing you can use notepad/wordpad or any other text editor. You just save a file and run to test, to compile in windows you drag the filename.ts over the TWX/TWXC.exe file if there are no errors it will compile if not it will tell you there is a problem. I would be more than happy to help with some basic script's over TS if you want to setup a day/time. Start with a simple task and build from there. Try to do to much to soon and like anything else you will just get frustrated. |

There is a ton of public scripts out there, don't be afraid to tear into them and make them yours. I reccommend Prom's and Sing's scripts, as they are easy to read in the beginning. For me the more advanced to read are the pack 1 & 2 scripts...too many includes, which can be kinda hard to follow. |

What is TWXIDE? Google's not turning it up. I write SWATH scripts in the Eclipse IDE. |

It would probably be easy to write a syntax-highlighting plugin for Eclipse, and set up a project so it builds automatically. |

I didn't see the files so here I will upload them for those that have never used this program. I use it 95% of the time. Attachment: I only wish it could compile from within and save the extra step  hint hint

Thanks to all of you for your input. Now I just have to figure out what I want to script and start hacking away at it. |

Exactly, you'll learn the most by doing. And you'll find an abundance of eager scripters here ready to help you (and show off their brilliance). |

TWXide is the Shiz couple of features I'd like but I use it almost exclusively if for nothing else than the color schemes and the reference library. I should have more time in the near future and will be appearing on ICQ and old format games again. RP if you need any personal assistance don't be a stranger

Just want to chime in as well for TWXide, for the code highlighting and jumpto labels. There are bugs though. The find functionality is almost unusable, and find/replace is non-existent. Might want to use more than one editor. Or, someone could fix TWXide - if I recall, the code is available for editing. |
