    This is my Pure Telnet version, I have an API version in the works.

    I've been working on this program for a few months now (had to teach myself a programming language first). It's almost ready for distribution but with the imminent arrival of 6.0 I've had to set it aside to help get Tinkercity server ready for the transition to 6.0


    This link is to the documentation on what it is capable of and how to tweak it to suit your needs.

    As you can see, my program allows anyone with a basic understanding of programming to create their own chat commands. I've pre-programmed it with a few useful commands and a few others as examples of what ccan be done.

    I'll be asking for a few beta test servers as soon as I can find the time to get this version ready for distribution. It's written in Python and the code will eventually be posted Open Source on GitHub.

    My question and purpose of this thread, Would you use this current version of the tool or would you wait for an API version which will be capable of SO MUCH MORE?

    Forgot to mention the words Always and Free.

    A few of the most useful commands:

    /Find
    Useful when you need to find a player and you don't know what playfield they are on. Originally started this project because players kept asking for help but ignored me when I asked what playfield they were on so I could actually go help them.

    /Ban
    Because who wants to type in a 16 digit SteamID. My program uses player ID

    /Kick
    Because who wants to type in a 16 digit SteamID. My program uses player ID

    /Rsg
    Ready, Set, Go!! As timed server announcements, great for race starts.

    Woops, just realized I left out the initial data collection.

    Workaround
    In-game say these commands in chat
    /Factions
    /Gents

    As with all chat commands you can start the line with "s! " To hide what you are doing
    Example:
    S! /Say Welcome to Tinkercity

    Crazy idea #956: add a chat command for Piracy on certain playfields. Any player that gets your ship's ID number can /claim it and it becomes public... Or the pirate's faction.
