- Conquest version LAST
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- OK some easy instructions
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1) Version LAST's data file is not compatible with any lower version so
- you will have to restart your game.
-
- 2) To restart the game on any version, just delete the Conquest.dat file
- When Restarting the game TURN OFF your MODEM and go in and play it
- once to create the data file. I have no idea why but the 1st player
- will get noise in the data files which really screws things up. Just
- do it this way and everything will be fine.
-
- 3) To delete a player, change the users name to "EMPTY" Version 7.0 now
- deletes a player after they have not played for 10 days.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Forem and Star BBS's
-
- The hardest part for you is to put your set file where the program can find
- it when its running the BBS.
-
- My suggestions
-
- The game has it hardcoded into it to look at the C root for the set file
- but The sysops that I have talked to said that the only place it could find
- it is within the same folder as your main BBS program or the root with your
- BBS program. If you get an error -33 when attempting to run the program
- more than likely moving the setfile will fix it. 1st put it in your C root
- dir. No luck then try your Conquest folder. No luck try you BBS programs
- dir. Still no luck call me at (816) 765-7453 before 9:00 pm central time.
-
- Express BBS's
-
- All you really have to do is edit the script file to the paths of your
- Choice and run the setup program also. Make sure that the paths match
- Between the two.
-
- Setup program
-
- Included is a setup program that defines your paths for the game. It will
- only save the file to the A: root. So after you run it move the file to
- where you want it.
-
-
- Message system
-
- To get the message system to work you must have a folder named MESSAGES
- inside the folder that contains the Conquest program.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Other features of Conquest.
-
- 1) Conquest is a dark ages wargame that will support as many players as
- you wish.
-
- 2) Has a carrier detect routine( if connection is lost game aborts back to
- your BBS program).
-
- 3) Has a timeout feature that will keep someone from staying inside the
- game forever thus keeping the BBS busy.
-
- 4) If someone times or hangs up, all data is saved so they gain nothing
- by trying to cheat.
-
- 5) Ability to name all the news and doc files so you can have them
- displayed anywhere on your BBS.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Conquest is a never ending type game. What I'm saying is that you need to
- decide when there is a winner and then post who it is. If you want to then
- start the game over then delete the Conquest.dat file if you just want to
- delete the winner(s) then change their names to EMPTY with a text editor.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
