I downloaded the k_news script from grimys and it seem to lock up my twx.

ive tried it a couple times..

anyone else have the same problem?


could it be that there are 100's of lines of pbusting?

what game and server..ill log in and see what i get

The same thing happens with 'news' commands in latest mombot when there are pages and pages of planet busting.

well Ill fix my code and leave the Mom guys to theirs.

two things that I want to add to the script is maximum planet bust limit and compare corpies on the possible pods to filter out the SDT/SST furbing as this creates to much spam.


Server name and game where this is happening to either script please. I dont frequent ORE Whore style games or unlim's so...

server name and game letter please

from a test game. The script does run for 12 seconds before output...Is that what you mean by Locked up?


I did find one small bug but it shouldn't cause anyone to lock up. I go out of my way to prevent endless loops when possible.

The update as been posted to grimy's

I got something lock up my twx... and when i read you, i thought about that I used that script ... but now, it's ok... it's happen 2 times...

I restarted my twx saved game to zero...

Added the filter to Clip the furbs from the Podded list...Posted on Grimy's..also at Nazhaz

That sounds like a lot of processing, or is that an intentional delay?

I has to read the daily log, which in some games can be quite long. Not sure if he has the read time buffered or not.

Code is posted.

I lot of things must be sorted , counted , padded for output and then output.

I have never had it lock up a twx.

Waiting for the server addy and game letter to verify claim.

Legion was right the script locked up the TWX...however the dailies log constisted of 4 corps planet pimping for 20 hours straight in an umlim/truce thing. Just to READ the dailies took 8 minutes to scroll through.

Obviously Twx hit some kind of limit on its ability to process and filter the info. Looking into a fix.

I have limited the output to max of 400 planets.
After this I doubt there is any useful info.
This seems to have solved the issue.

Thx for the bug report.
