"This looks interesting, what is it?" - It's called Rouge Mercenaries.
"No shit, really? I ment what does it do." - Oh, well, it will let you place
a random amount of Rouge Mercenaries in a random sector during nightly event.
"Cool. I think I like that. What gave ya the idea for it?" - Well, I used to
play Trade Wars alot on my BBS until I started programming more (like all the
TradeWar utils I've been doing) and didn't have time. While I did play, I
always though the Rouge fighters were neat. They were a little hinderence and
ya got bounty for taking them out. The only problem was Rouges would only
show up if I would put them in with the editor or someone with corperation
fighters disbanded the corp. So I though it would be nice if there was a way
to randomly place Rouges.
"Cool. I think I'll give it a try. How do I set it up?" - Here's the docs:
You call the program with the following paramiters:
ROUGE datapath minimum maximum [/all]
datapath : This is the location of your TradeWars files.
minimum : Minimum amount of fighters to place.
maximum : Maximum amount of fighters to place.
/all : If this switch is given, ANY sector could be a possible pick.
If this switch is not given, FedSpace, StarPort, and Ferrengi
Homeworld wont be picked.
A sector will only have the fighters placed in it if there are:
a) No fighters there or
b) If the fighters there are Rouge fighters.
So if ya give the command:
ROUGE e:\tw\tradewar 1 10000
It will look in e:\tw\tradewar for the files and will pick a random amount of
fighters to place that is between 1 and 10,000.

That should be enough. Now the stuff no one reads.. If you like this or
any of the other programs I've done that you have or have seen, please send
me something for my time and testing. I currently don't have a "real" job and
my only income is from my BBS and my programming. Do you know how hard it is
for a 21 year old computer nerd to get a job in a small hick town?
Send any donations, or your own programs that you've written to be placed on
my BBS to:
David Proper
927 Maple Avenue, NW
New Philadelphia, Ohio 44663-1522
Or if you just want to check out my BBS, which has all my publicly released

Yea, I also have a Sound Blaster Pro so I can do any audio samples for the

A quick little thank you goes out to Dan Roseen, SysOp of Nite Owl BBS
206-631-4949. He gave the TW file formats to one of my users that called his
system looking for them. Thanks Dan, we need more SysOps like that who are
willing to help out there users and other SysOps. (You wouldn't believe the
bullshit in this area between the local systems. It's unbelievable)
And of course thanks to Jason Boyd for writting the text file that had the
file formats.
Guess that's the end of this file. Increase the peace. Later.
