The attached script will allow you to setup a game with:
specified number of sectors to put a planet
random planets (or specific type)
random amounts of fighters, ore, shields (based on percentage you set),
random cannon settings
random Cit levels (automatically downgrades if a cit can't go to the random number)
random planet names (7 first and last names included - if you add or delete names, then you will need to change this part of the code:
getRnd $rndNames 1 7
getRnd $rndNames2 1 7
The range for the random amounts are menu configurable with the exception of the cannon range settings which are set in the script.
The script was written for TWGS 2.10. Do not use without backing your TWA file up! Telnet into the admin port, select T-Edit, select the game and run.
Any issues, let me know. I've only tested this on a Sub Zero edit so feedback, good or bad would be nice. You should know the edit before you enter the percentages for the various items. And yes, the included names are lame.
Code:
:PlanetNames
setVar $first[1] "Locus"
setVar $first[2] "Tal"
setVar $first[3] "Alpha"
setVar $first[4] "Theta"
setVar $first[5] "Talos"
setVar $first[6] "Pirate"
setVar $first[7] "Rogue"
setVar $second[1] " Star"
setVar $second[2] " Psion"
setVar $second[3] " Tek"
setVar $second[4] " Seven"
setVar $second[5] " Orion"
setVar $second[6] " Haven"
setVar $second[7] " Homeworld"
return
setVar $first[1] "Locus"
setVar $first[2] "Tal"
setVar $first[3] "Alpha"
setVar $first[4] "Theta"
setVar $first[5] "Talos"
setVar $first[6] "Pirate"
setVar $first[7] "Rogue"
setVar $second[1] " Star"
setVar $second[2] " Psion"
setVar $second[3] " Tek"
setVar $second[4] " Seven"
setVar $second[5] " Orion"
setVar $second[6] " Haven"
setVar $second[7] " Homeworld"
return
