Hanzo Hattori, creator of TWNetBot, sent me this about a week ago:
Yeah I know EleqTrizi'T and I have pretty much decided to just canTWNetBot - it has been over a year in the making and I just flat don't have time to make it and play the games i love to play (not to mention have time for work) so you guys can just take me of your links list if you want. I know EleqTrizi'T will be sad to hear this, but I just don't have time to figure out the geometry for the map and the algorithms for shortest warp path from X to Y.
While I can't talk for everyone else, I know how hard those algorithms actually are. :) I just want to say thanks for helping out the tradewars community Hanzo. We appreciate your efforts.
