  • Nitrons Tradewars mod

    From MIKE POWELL@21:4/10 to PAULIE420 on Sun Jun 4 08:20:00 2023
    Dude... Nitron released an ANSI pack MOD/add-on for Tradewars 2002 and it l00ks
    flipping awesome.

    https://16colo.rs/pack/tw-roth/
    or, download tw-roth.zip from 2oFB...

    Its a great collection of ships and other ANSi gfx for TW2002 - I hope to see >t
    on some local TW2002 games, or maybe even @ DoorParty if I can bug Maskreet.

    Have ya'll checked it out just yet??? Very nice.

    I have given it a look and it looks neat. I want to add it to one of the
    two TW2002 games I have here but I have run into an issue. The
    instructions included are for adding it to TWGS, which I am not using since this is a DOS BBS, and the instructions for not using the included TWA file
    (or how to import it into a non-TWGS TW2002 game) are sparse to
    non-existent.

    I have never tried moding a stock TW2002 game before. Do you, or anyone,
    have any suggestions or links to how-tos on the topic?

    I would really like to get it installed.

    Thanks!
    Mike

    Sorry to tell you but this will only work with TWGS :)

    You can set-up a Telnet out to centralontarioremote.com on port 2002
    It's on Game D.

    If you want TWGS access on your BBS I have a tradewars server that autobangs so there are always fresh games. I can help you get access. Works kinda like door party. Then you we both get more players and you don't have to deal with any of the heavy lifting. :D

    let me know

    That I might just do on this machine. My DOS BBS, where I was hoping to
    set up a moded TW2002 game would not be so easy to set up such a telnet
    service on. :)

    Yes, that's basically what I was offering him. I have a version running that he was looking for.

    How are you doing the autobangs? I have TWGS with a number of instances but this concept is unclear to me.

    I got with the top programmers for TWX and we made scripts that do it. There is a service port you connect to and then you can have a script do it for you. Including all the extra services. Its super nice.

    Absolutely. I tend to be off work around 5PM Central each weekday I typically get on my teamspeak server almost immediately. If you want to hop on I can send the needed files and explain how to use them.
