TW2002 follow-up

[aldiyen]

We've decided to reduce the number of turns per day to 500 in order to reduce the time investment required in the game. After some experimentation, 750 seemed a bit high. We may reduce it further after the start of the game if people find that 500 is too many. Please let us know what you think

that fixes the character problem, but i have not fixed the gray problem:



This completely covers the screen whenever I type ?, D, I, or any of the other top-level menu/display type things, and it happens in the planet menu too and other places to various extent. Sometimes the gray completely wipes out the screen sometimes it just goes hither and yon. It does not seem to affect the computer menu, or the corporate menu, or many of the sub-menus. I haven't really tested it on all the menu points, in ports, et cetera. But it seems to do this at very aesthetically displeasing and inopportune times. Please advise. Thank you.

I've solved that too, but didn't realize it was a separate setting.
Here's the settings I set from a fresh session:
Session
Host Name: tradewars.dridus.com
Connection type: Telnet
Port: 2002
Terminal
Use background color to erase screen: unchecked
Enable blinking text: checked
Terminal > Keyboard
The backspace key: Control-H
Terminal > Features
Disable remote-controlled character set configuration: checked
Window
Rows: 25
Window > Translation
Character set: UTF-8

oh and for best results, make sure the putty window is at 80x25
