SyncTERM-Lua 1.9-lua5 - SyncTERM 1.9 BBS terminal with Lua scripting
(unofficial fork of SyncTERM)

Windows
  SyncTERM-Lua-1.9.5-x64.msi     Installer (64-bit Windows, installs for your
                                 user only, no admin needed). Upgrades older versions.
  syncterm-1.9-lua5-win64.zip    Same program without installing: unzip and run
                                 syncterm.exe.

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu, 64-bit; Ubuntu 24.04 / Debian 13 or newer)
  syncterm-lua_1.9-lua5_amd64.deb
                                 sudo apt install ./syncterm-lua_1.9-lua5_amd64.deb

Using scripts: while connected press F12. Load Script picks a script from
the script folder, Run Script runs it. Alt-R records a new one. Script
Folder opens the script folder: put .lua scripts you download there and
they appear under Load Script.

The script folder
  Windows   %APPDATA%\SyncTERM\scripts
  Linux     ~/.local/share/syncterm/scripts
  (SyncTERM Settings > Program Settings > Script Directory changes it.)

Scripts that come with it (copied into your script folder when SyncTERM
starts - each one once, never over a file you already have):
  lordbot.lua        Plays a day of Legend of the Red Dragon 4.06: forest,
                     master, gear, flirting, bank, Inn; player fights on days
                     it has a fairy in its pocket.  Start it in LORD at the
                     "Enter the realm" menu or in the Town Square.
  twbot.lua          Plays a day of TradeWars 2002 (local doors and TWGS):
                     learns the map, trades port pairs, explores, avoids
                     mines and Ferrengi, can buy holds or a better ship (asks
                     first), parks in FedSpace.  Start it at the sector
                     Command prompt.
  example-login.lua  A short login example.
The bots write their logs (and twbot its map) into the script folder.
SCRIPTING.md - "Scripts that come with SyncTERM-Lua" - explains what each
one does, what it asks and which files it writes.

New in 1.9-lua5
  - twbot.lua fixes from its first live run:
    * A trade pair with nothing to bring back was dropped after one trip
      ("running low") - it now keeps trading it.
    * "Explore without a scanner" switches itself off for that game after
      the first defended sector, mines, or a lost ship.
    * It keeps enough turns to get home (or to StarDock to bank) from the
      far end of a trade pair, so the day no longer ends stranded in open
      space with the credits on board.
  - Already have twbot.lua in your script folder?  Upgrading never replaces
    it: copy the twbot.lua next to this file over yours (F12 > Script Folder
    shows where it is).

New in 1.9-lua4
  - F12 menu: "Script Folder" shows where your scripts go and opens the
    folder in your file manager.

New in 1.9-lua3
  - twbot.lua, the TradeWars 2002 bot.
  - lordbot.lua: player fights on fairy days; saving its state works on
    Windows; heals after every fight that costs hitpoints; Olivia's hint
    only holds for the session she gave it in.
  - Scripts added by a newer release now arrive in your script folder on
    upgrade (before, only a brand-new folder was filled).  Upgrading never
    replaces a copy you already have: to get the new lordbot.lua, copy it
    over yours from the program's scripts folder (Windows: "scripts" beside
    syncterm.exe; Linux: /usr/share/syncterm/scripts).

SHA256SUMS has the checksums of these files.
