Unread post Updated login script
I don't know if something is interfering with SWATH, but in some games it doesn't even seem to try to keep me logged in, so I tried the included KeepAlive script, but sure enough, it interfered with some stuff, so after bothering Micro a bit I improved it!

This sends and invisible character, just like SWATH is supposed to, but every 60 seconds.

It doesn't even try to watch for the inactivity warning!

Any suggestions?

# TWX Script Pack 1: Keepalive script
# Author           : Xide
# Description      : A VERY simple script which sends an invisible character every 60
#                    seconds to keep the connection alive.
# Trigger Point    : Anywhere within TW where the global functions are
#                    working.
# Warnings         : Will send an invisible character every 60 sectors, whether

#                    disrupt anything, but use at your own risk.

Unread post This still interferes with the game
I hadn't thought that I was receiving inactivity warnings and it turns out that I'm not!

Aside from write a script to detect when I have gone inactive and then and only then send invisible characters until I return to the keyboard I simply do not know what to do.

Just never do anything else until I log out? :)

I have never used 1_KeepAlive, because Mombot does this automatically.

Why would you ever log out, unless there is a time limit?

I didn't like running scripts when I wasn't at the keyboard and I was playing one of Farley's rogue games, so there were only a handful of available ports.

I traded at them, cleared as may fighters as possible, and logged out for the day.

I wish that I had tried out my version of the script [longer], it interrupted the other script I was doing, so instead of running a world trade script, for example, it was just sending #145 every minute.

It seems that Vid Kid has the answer all along:

Its so easy, I'm not sure why it was not done in the first place.
The twx script keep alive, replace the Send "#" with Send #27
no "s around it, its the escape character and is invisible.

Then all you need to do is figure a good delay setting and its all done.

#27 seems to work. From the same discussion:

As for all bots with the invisible keep alive, this was developed because a server could have interactive sub-prompts turned off.
This in some cases would disallow the timeout prompt from being seen.
So the invisible keep alive would keep you connected.
