(C) Copyright 1993 by Robert Poirier
Support BBS: The Parrot's Den BBS

A Stratergy Game for PcBoard , GAP and other systems.
------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Gold Hunt ! The game is simple to play with instructions in
the door itself. You start at the entrance to a mine, and all you have
to do is explore the mine looking for gold. Along the way are storage
boxes which may contain some items useful to you on your quest. Be
careful of disasters which could befall you on your journey through
the mine.
This door is written for BBSes that use 31-line DOOR.sys, PcBoard 11.8,
PcBoard 14.+, Wildcat, RBBS/QBBS dorinfo1.def.
DISCLAIMER !!
This program and other files associated with it are
"as is" and are not guaranteed to be frre from errors.
The author does not guarantee nor warrent any of the
included files within the ZIP. We are not responsible
for any damage of any kind, including profit losses
and/or data loss, that relates directly or indirectly
to these programs and files. You may distribute this
program, as long as it is in unmodified form with all
the original files included.
Sample GOLD.CFG file
c:\pcb\pcboard.sys <-- path and running system
The Parrot's Den BBS <-- boards name
Bob <-- sysop first name
Poirier <-- sysop last name
0000000 <-- Registration number
3 * <-- Number of Games Users can play(1 to 7)
3 * <-- Number of Make up games per day(1 to 7)
0 * <-- Future release usage
c:\pcb\gen\blt16 * <-- location of top 15 ANSI bulletin
c:\pcb\gen\blt16g * <-- location of top 15 ASCII bulletin
(Ansi bulletin usess @Xxx codes only)
* works in registered version only
(note : if no bulletin desired type NONE for path)
All above lines have to be in the config file for the
door program to work properly!! If you don't have ten
lines in it, it won't work!
Set up is simple enough. Unzip the files into their own directory
and make the GOLD.CFG file above making sure there are no remarks
or blanks lines in the file.
Setting Number of Games users can play is the number of games in a
one day playing session.(remembering that you can also set number of
makeup days also.)
In the number for makeup games, setting this to one disables playing
make up games. Setting to 2 allows the user to play one regular day
and one make up day. Setting it to 3 is one regular day and two
makeup days, etc.. up to 7.
Make a batch file to run the door as per the enclosed PLUMBER.bat
file.
The program has it's own com routines, so no other modules are
needed. Do not use a WATCHDOG program with the door. If you use a
converter program include it in the batch file calling the door.
The command line is : GOLD GOLD.CFG
If you wish to run in local mode use the command line:
GOLD GOLD.CFG LOCAL
Gold Hunt! Files Needed to Run:
---------------------------------------------------------
GOLD.EXE <------------------- Plumber program
GOLD.DOC <------------------- What You are reading now
GOLD.CFG <-------------------- Configuration File
GOLD.PIC <-------------------- Binary data file containing pictures
REGISTER.DOC <---------------- Registration information
GOLDHUNT.BAT <--------------- Sample batch file
GOLD.DAT <------------------- Created at run time by the door
for holding scores.
All of these files should be in this ZIP, if they are not, don't
take a chance! Call The Parrot's Den and get a good copy or view the
file on a few local boards to see if you can find a complete copy.
You will also need to modify your doors menu files and the data
level needed to access them. For GAP, these are respectively:
DOORM
DOORMG
DOORS.DAT
Please refer to your BBS documentation for details on setting up
these files.
At any time that you want to redo the scoring file, delete the
GOLD.DAT file created by the door, and the door will reset the montly
score to zero and start over. This is not necessary, as the door rolls
over on the first of each month, keeping the high score winner for the
previous month.
Version 3.00 and up, updates the scoring file as the first caller of
a new month enters the door (keeping the last month high scorer
and deleting the others).
Please read REGISTER.DOC for information on how you can register
your copy of Gold Hunt ! . The bulletin generator is only available
in the registered version of Gold Hunt.
Have Fun!
