Hi All,

I'm back playing twars and am trying re-arm myself the modern tradewars way; with scripts!

Is there a publicly available script to find tunnels?

Meaning a set of sectors with two entrances, not one.

I use the bubble finder in Swath. It finds tunnels and bubbles with dead-ends.

So it does.. staring me right in the face.

Carry on, go about your business people!

To answer your question, download the zip file a player named Helix put together:

look for my grid maker script thingy. Don't forget to let me know how awesome the script pack is.

Oh yeah, forgot to come back and say twas Awesome!

Not so awesome for the competition however

That depends on your competition *EG*

Hammer_2, I'd love to see you attempt a tunnel finder script of your own. That was the kind of script that I began writing, and quickly found how rewarding scripting could be.

The logic for a simple 3-sector-tunnel finder was something like:
start at sector 1
if this sector has 2 warps, check the adjacent sectors to see if they both have 2 warps.
if so, mark all 3 sectors as a tunnel
increment the sector number and repeat the tests.

Presenting the tunnels in a useful fashion is probably harder than finding them. But give it a shot and see how it turns out.

+EP+

Yep, did all that eventually EP,

Was just a case I'm just getting back into Tradewars and was more interested in winning a game than writing scripts.

I've made the tunnel finder and various other scripts since now.

I however still haven't bothered (and won't) with a haggling script because yours runs nicely over the top of mine to handle haggling! so thanks again for that awesome piece of scripting.

Cheers,
