Make a look-alike bash prompt for Linux by adding this line of text to the end of your /home/username/.bashrc file…

PS1=”\n\[\[\e[0m\]\[\e[35m\]Command [\[\e[33;1m\]TL=\T\[\[\e[0m\]\[\e[35m\]]:[\[\e[36;1m\]\!\[\e[0m\]\[\e[35m\]] (\[\e[33;1m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\[\e[35m\])? : \[\e[37;1m\]”

Save, logout and then log back in.  Tada.  Your prompt now looks like this…

Here is what the prompt contains…

Command [TL=<TIME>]:[<COMMAND HISTORY #>] (<CURRENT DIRECTORY>)? :

It’s actually useful.  You’re welcome.

This was originally posted by Cogwheel at ClassicTW.com.  Please note the server pointed out is no longer active.

For those of you already using PuTTY, I have released a modified version (source) which adds a configuration option to return the cursor to the top left after a clear screen (Settings->Terminal->Clear screen homes cursor). TradeWars’ ANSI files expect this behavior of DOS’ ANSI.SYS which is technically in violation of the ANSI standard. I’ve attached a screenshot comparing the two versions landing on Terra.

If you don’t already use PuTTY and would like to have a go, I’ve also created an installer package that includes PuTTY, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono (my favorite monospace font), and is pre-configured to connect to my TradeWars server, including all the appropriate appearance settings to make it look right. You can change the settings to log into whichever server you want, or use pageant.exe to give you easy access to multiple configurations.

Just renewed the domain for 5 years.  I doubt I’ll ever let this site die after 11 years or so already.  It’s older than my oldest child, for goodness sakes.

The HHT is a HIGHLY Edited Game that has Had some regular settings But has Never Been *exactly* the Same from Year to Year..I have provided FULL disclosure and Will Be playing.
All Issues to be Handled by ElderProphet and his decison is FINAL.

The TWA that is being provided will also be the MAP used in this Game. Import the Game With All map Edits!!! Do Not Rebang the Game if you Want an Accurate Map.Just import it and open it as is.

Various Ship and Planet Edits

The HHT Edit Will be opend up for practice at telnet://twgs.classictw.com/ as soon as possible

More information can be found at https://www.classictw.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=23252&p=190287#p190287 

A few poeple have pointed out that i didnt post Rules and Have asked there to be an End date….It’s Unlikely,,, but VERY possible,, that this game/edit could be Stalemated. I dont want to be playing the HHT at Christmas this year.So I sought out Advice from a few players and have come up with a solution.

For Whatever reason the Game’s TWA keeps aging So to Clarify the game will open with game age of 30 days.
1. The game will have an End Date 12/10/09 23:59:59 Server Time

2. In the Event the End Date is reached the following point system will be in used to determine a Winner.

100 points for every Captured planet that is level 5 or above that your corp owns.
15 points for every sector with at least 1 corp fig.
100 points for a port with at least 1 product upgraded to the max(fuel,org,equip) Buy or Sell.
50 points for every ship that has the Game start date as the Manufactured Date.That you own at the end of the game.

No Buyouts

In the Case of some Conflict ie double exturn or game data corruption The Game Moderators Decision is Final. (Game Moderator = ElderProphet )

also to be more clear
There is No Rules against Information Sharing.
Mega Corping is defined by the Sharing of Hard Assetts ie.Figs.Credits,Citadels,Sectors.
YES Mega Corping IS against the rules.

I’ve moved The Stardock to hosting outside of my own house for the first time ever.  This shouldn’t mean much to anyone but if you have a problem with TWGS Search, this might be why.  TWGS Search should still be updating and running fine, but we won’t know 100% for awhile.  If you have problems, IM me (ICQ:7971550, AIM: EleqTriziT) and I’ll take a look.

Thanks.
