This is the port nag file for the human player in the sandbox. I have added my comments in dark red. These comments are based on my own analysis of the code and my experience in working with it. I do not have any special inside information from MuckyFoot about these files, and I may in some instances be wrong.
; This just plays that annoying message from VAL telling you that you need more ports. ;QUEUES ON THE PORT******************************************************* :queue100 if turn > portcheck ; portqueuestandard is a system variable, that is, it is maintained by Startopia ; without you having to do anything with it in your script elements portqueuestandard > 10 then status_message "lev07_port01" ; The net effect of these two statements is to check ports at gradually increasing ; intervals as you get more nags. set portcheck ((turn + 1000) + portcheckola) set portcheckola (portcheckola + 100) end
