fukkin A this looks cool

is this a TWGS edit? didnt know it was even possible to morph the game this much thru tedit or the like

if this is happening someone post up

Yeah I checked out the site and tried to get to the FTP file section and couldnt. Would love to have the scripts that could do all that. Would like to find out about any other sysop scripts available for game changes if anyone has any they want to share.

Very interesting. Do keep us updated on this.

I played that game a year ago --- I especially liked the ship that regenned figs. I'm not sure any of the other features worked, but it was a fun place to mess around.

I just tried reconnecting to telnet://tw2002.modemmaster.com:2002/ -- no luck..

If I remember correctly, Modem Master closed shop... He posted an ad to sell all his stuff.

yeah, I remember playing on his system too, but it quickly became boring, a shoot em up.

I also remember seeing an ad by him offering to sell his TWGS, so I would say he is gone.

I looked in the sysop/gameop forum and if you set it to show messages 120 days old, you will find the message offering the system for sale. Also in the thread was a message from Pestilence saying he wanted to buy the TWGS, so there may be hope that it is still up somewhere.

I helped Hunter test the edits and as far as I remember they worked 100%. He had i script running in tedit that did all the work. Am not sure if anyone knows Hunter is one of the original programmers of tradewars and a master programmer. Last time I talked to him he was finshed with the insane engine but it wasn't with scripts tho. He made a program that linked to the twgs and you checked off which feature you want running.

So, is that project alive or dead? It looked fairly interesting. Might just be a kick in the pants as far as new edits go.

This is ModemMaster, from ModemMaster's TW Server,

I was the TWGS sysop who ran Hunter's TWGS Insane Engine but he disappeared, he promised that if he ever came out with the program for the cloaking ships and stuff he would give me a free copy for helping him and letting his test everything on my server.

If you know where he is, please email me

thanks,

That was very interesting as I had never seen that before. Some of those ideas on ships sound pretty nice - being able to be online in a cloaked ship for instance.

I'm game for it if we ever find it. 
 

Heh wasnt there something about regenerating figs on ship, that would be cool, doubt this will ever happen though.

Evidently he's incorporating the gold alien features into player features.  These are all features of gold aliens and many are features of the Invincible Ferrengi.  I don't believe that can be done without code alteration though.  I may be wrong...
