- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This is the Murder Motel configuration file, using an ASCII editor, just edit
- the first 10 lines to suit your needs. The format of each line follows:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Line 1 -- Full Drive:\path\filename.ext of door info file (see above)
- Line 2 -- The name of your Bulletin Board System
- Line 3 -- First name of SysOp
- Line 4 -- Last name of SysOp
- Line 5 -- Registration Number (0 if unregistered)
- Line 6 -- Total number of moves allowed per day
- Line 7 -- Total number of demerit points allowed per day
- Line 8 -- Enforce wait a day after dying (0=no or 1=yes)
-
- The following will be in future releases. The original author intended on
- putting these option in but never did.
-
- Line 9 -- Allow the use of handles (alias names) ? (0=no or 1=yes)
- Line 10 - Allow being picked by more than one other player ? (0=no or 1=yes)
-
-
- Some term packages are not acknowledging the test for ANSI. You may force
- ANSI on by adding a commnad line switch /NA.
-
- MMXX MURDER.CFG /NA
-
- NOTE: This door supports COM 1-15 on the standard IRQ's - COM1/COM3 = IRQ4 and
- COM2/COM4 = IRQ3. If you wish to use a non-standard IRQ, add the IRQ
- number after the configuration filename. Let's assume your Door is
- called FOOBAR and you want to use COM1 and IRQ5. The command line
- passed to your Door would be:
- MM03 Murder.cfg /5
- The /5 tells Door to use IRQ5 rather than the standard IRQ4 that
- is normally used with COM1. No /x parameter is needed for the standard
- IRQ's.
-
- To you who are still having troubles, ask a
- neighboring SysOp to help, and good luck.
-
-
- Much of the BBS software mentioned is a Trade Mark of its
- respective author. The names are merely mentioned to help you
- in your usage of this door.
-
- USING THE DOOR:
-
- Once configured, and setup as a door, Murder Motel does all the
- work. The game play and its objective are contained in the file
- MURDER.MMI (Murder Motel Information), which is made available
- by the (I)nstructions command in the game.
-
- All the files included (with the exception of .DOC) files should
- reside in the door default directory, and shouldn't be messed
- with otherwise.
-
- UPGRADE:
-
- If you are upgrading from a previous version (1.0, 1.2, or 2.0)
- you must start completely fresh; erase all old murder files,
- docs, and .mmi files, then setup the new one. (running MAKENEW
- is a good idea after all is configured).
- ____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Give me your comments, I'd love to adapt the game to your
- needs. Of course I'd accept all/any feedback, and would
- appreciate any ideas you would have.
-
- As always, NO liabilities for any damage resulting from the
- use and/or ill-use of this software will be honored. It is
- clearly use at your own risk, and as-is software. I use the
- door, as do many others, and it poses no intential danger
- to your system. Its 99.9% error free, and should work fine.
-
- Sincerely,
- Chuck Valecek
