Anyone here have Tradewars experience?? Thats what I'm shooting for here.

I was SysAdmin on many BBS's so yes Tradewars is a fond memory for me. I have a server. Do you have any experience with html? linux? Any scripting language (I could name a couple dozen here but I really mean ANY). www.dom2.org is available for registration

My experience is actually C++ and VB. I have had a dose of JavaScript lately. VBScript/JavaScript don't have to much of a learning curve to them anyways. Haven't done HTML in a while, but thats what books are for.

Linux, hrmm... Thats another deal altogether. Limited on that, unix and Mac OSX.

Kewl. Consider snagging my basic scripts and making the EXE for download. People have asked but I havent found a free compiler I like.

If you guys want we can probably help out with some server space. We are running Windows2003, so I hope that isn't an issue.

Thanks. Im also offering mostly server space. Im running Debian Linux. Between us we have everyone covered. I suspect we are in the same boat. We would like to help someone make this happen but not volunteering to manage yet another site

Some people are apparently web designers who have offered to make pages but so far no webmaster has offered to manage the whole package.

Question about launching on windows machine. I can launch successfully using the command line args described below, however, once its running there doesn't seem to be a way to modify the values without taking it down entirely. Is this the expected behavior?

If you launch it in text mode it is not interactive. But if you launch it in graphical mode (remove -T) it should be possible to change some values as you go.
