I'm a noob at scripts, and I don't know anything about them, but what program do people use to make scripts? Also, is there a script out there that allows you to click on a person and track an army that you think may go to your city?
most of the scripts ive seen use PHP, Perl or JavaScript.
PHP and Perl alow for a server to take care of everything without you having to run the code in your computer. It is best for stuff that needs to be updated every couple of minutes like stock charts.
Javascript runs mostly on your computer and it is best for individual programs such as controlling armies. etc.
Other languages can be used, Ive made some programs in Visual Basic that would look for cities that didnt have a nuke shield. This was for the test server.
and as for your questions about the armies. Ive seen scripts that alow you to select a player and see all his armies and destinations without using GE.
Ive also seen Radars that show you every army within a certain distance of a city even if the army is just flying over. But that is up to the individual who made it to post it up.

Here are some tips for making scripts.
1st you need to know how GEwar works.
It works by adding some extra information to the address on top. http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/
download that and install it in firefox. If you run it you will see all the extra information that firefox sends out to any page you connect to. If you poke around Gewar you will see that certain things are sent which tell what to do.
like buying 5 armies sends this ; http://www.gewar.net/war/storepurchase.php?item=3
Now in VB they have a "Inet" command. it alows you for your vb program to use various internet functions.
if you have some thing like
'scripting' is just a way for one to interface w/ the gewar game.
gewar is based on http/html... let me break down what goes in a url:
http://www.gewar.net/test.php?q=what is your name&answer=dic101
the first part (red), http://www.gewar.net is obviously the web server address
the second part (dark green), /test.php is the specific web page you are loading
the third part (dark orange), ?q=what is your name begins the 'parameter' section of a url.
in this example, q= what is your name (q = could be question)
the fourth part (yellow green), &answer=dic101 is the syntax for subsequent parameters, the & delineates between parameters.
not sure if this is too technical for anybody (or if Luke really wants ppl to start messing 'round.. hehe). there's plenty of resources on the 'net about how to build advanced web pages that are 'interactive'. google/yahoo for 'cgi-bin'

Does anybody have anything like the scripts highlighted in red?
