Special Weapons and Automagic Tradewars Helper!
  THE PLANET HANDBOOK (version 1.01) by Paladyne
 

II. A NOTE ON GAME SERVER MODES

Trade Wars Game Server (TWGS) can operate in 4 different modes. There are differences between how each mode operates, and what is available for the GameOp to modify. These 4 modes are identified as:

Game Mode identified as being...

TWGS (Gold extensions OFF) version 3.11.xx
TWGS (Gold extensions ON) version 3.11.xx Gold
MBBS (Gold extensions OFF) version 3.11.xx MBBS
MBBS (Gold extensions ON) version 3.11.xx MBBS Gold

The TWGS versions are the result of the rewrite by John Pritchett for playing Trade Wars over the Internet. The 2 versions for MBBS denote games that are similar to the Major-BBS version that made Trade Wars so popular. The Gold extensions allow the GameOp to customize the ships, planets, and/or aliens. The game mode can be identified on the [V]iew Screen from the Command prompt, and also on the title screen when you enter the game. The most recent release is version (as of Oct 27th, 2002) 3.11.55 (TWGS10155.EXE) and the date of release is
February 14th, 2002.
