SysOp Information:
BBS Drag Racing Should Run on almost any BBS.. given the right data
in the configuration file..
The Following Files Should be in the same directory as BBSRACE.EXE :
PLYRFILE.DTA <---- if missing BBSRACE Will Create.
BBSRACE.CFG <---- Modify this file for your BBS.
BBSRACE.DOC <---- The file your reading now.
RACE.EMU <---- Ansi Protocol for Drag Racing.
BBSRACE.EXE <---- Executable file.
DragRace.ans <---- Graphic screen for Drag Racing.
Setup.EXE <---- Setup/Install utility program.
Running BBS Drag Racing in Local mode :
You may run BBS Drag Racing in the Local mode by typing the following
at the DOS prompt
C:>BBSRACE Your Name
Note : if any parameters (Except a "/Node #" parameter) are passed to
BBSRACE it will assume Local Mode and won't use the modem at all.
Another way to run local from your BBS is use the Dorinfo1.def door
file or another door file that indicates local by writing 'COM0' to the
door file. When BBS DragRacing reads the door file it searches for 'COM0'.
if it finds 'COM0', It will assume the local mode.
Another way to run local from your BBS is use the Chain.txt door
file or another door file that indicates local by writing 'KB' to the
door file instead of a baud rate. When BBS DragRacing reads the door
file it searches for 'KB'. if it finds 'KB', It will assume the
local mode.
Running BBS Drag Racing on your BBS :
Important NOTE : When Running in remote mode that ( Non-local) Mode,
BBSRACE installs it's own serial Interrupt driven
routines. If you have a fossil driver loaded, you may
experience problems. It is Recomended that you
UNLOAD OR DISABLE THE FOSSIL before running this program.
To run BBS Drag Racing on your BBS you will need to know what your
BBS uses as a user file that is "DORINFO1.DEF", "CALLINFO.BBS"
"USERFILE" etc.. If you don't Know What line numbers that your
userfile uses for User's first names and Last names and Baud
Rates, You'll need to look at them using a text editor and figure
out which line has this information..
If your userfile is not a text file, that is, a binary file or
or something else then you might try using QKDOOR.EXE to convert
your user file into a text type file.
If your userfile has a Time left line and a Time Limit Line
then BBS Drag Racing will use that information if you tell it
where to find it..
NOTE : If You are using a Non-Standard COM Port Configuration, See the
Accompanying file - COMPORT.DTA, for information on changing the
IRQs etc.
Running BBSRace on a Multi Node System:
Simply Specify Which Node is running as a Parameter passed to the
executable file using the following syntax. You can setup various node
settings using the "Setup.exe" Program.
You must have "SHARE" (dos file sharing) loaded before bbs Drag Racing
will allow interactive racing..
ex.
BBSRACE ... Defaults to Node 0
BBSRace /NODE 1 ... Defaults to Node 1
BBSRace /NODE 4 ... Defaults to Node 4
( Up to 8 Nodes Allowed )
Use Setup.exe program that comes with BBS dragracing package.
Simply plug in the appropriate information, set up your batch file
or whatever it is that you do to run a door.. and your all set.
If You have Registered BBS Drag Racing with the Author (me), It is very
important to make sure that the upper and lower case letters are
correct in your registration number.
BBS Drag Racing will detect a Carrier Loss and return to the system.
It will update the player's status in the player data file, So dropping
carrier won't undo any monetary losses etc...
