BRAINEX CASINO MANAGER
ANSI/RIP
(C) Copyright 1993 by Stanley Sheff
Support BBS: The Brainex System
(310) 275-2344
(310) 273-5234
-------------------------------------------
This program requires installation using The Brainex Door Manager.
If you have not installed this program, please download BRAINEX.ZIP
from the The Brainex System, then install the program. To make this
program fully functional, you will need to register CASINO and the
DOOR MANAGER.
The Casino Manager will:
1. Act as a menu program to let user access any Brainex Casino game
from a single menu.
2. Display Top Scores for Brainex casino games.
3. Be a Cashier Bank. To let players get loans, pay off loans, transfer
funds to other players, and...
4. Brainex Telecheck System
Players can create then download checks, which can be cashed on
any BBS that is using the Brainex Casino Manager.
========================================================================
The Brainex Casino Manager uses ANSI or RIP graphics. Non ANSI or
non RIP will not be able to use this program, or any of the other casino
games.
========================================================================
To use RIP, your callers should have the Brainex Icons in their
RIP icons directory. The Brainex icons are available in the file
BXICONS.ZIP available from the Brainex System
Be sure you have the file BRAINEX.DAT dated after 9/04/93 in your
BRAINEX directory. To install this door type:
SETUP
The following files will be automatically COPIED to their proper
directories. You do not need to copy these yourself.
To the BRAINEX directory:
CASINO.EXE
ELEVEL.EXE
To the BRAINEX\CASINO directory:
MAINHELP.TXT
BANKHELP.TXT
CASINO.DOC
These files will be CREATED in your BRAINEX directory during setup:
EXTR1.BAT
EXTRF.BAT
EXTRG.BAT
EXTRH.BAT
EXTRY.BAT
EXTRZ.BAT
RUNGAMES.BAT
*IMPORTANT*
========================================================================
You must use RUNGAMES.BAT to run the casino. If you try to run the casino
by using CASINO.EXE, players will be unable to get to any games!
If you run Wildcat or GAP BBS you will need to use the included
ELEVEL.EXE to send the correct error level to the BBS after a user
logs off from within the casino. Edit the RUNGAMES.BAT as indicated
in the file, otherwise you can remove the line that runs ELEVEL.
========================================================================
Once you have installed the door, you must create your own batch
file to run RUNGAMES.BAT. You can name this file GAMBLE.BAT.
Single Node BBS sample batch file (GAMBLE.BAT) :
@ECHO OFF
RUNGAMES 1
For multinodes, create a GAMBLE.BAT for each node...
Node 2 batch file (GAMBLE2.BAT) :
@ECHO OFF
RUNGAMES 2
Use the number after RUNGAMES to indicate node number.
If you are a single node system, you must use the 1.
Confused?!!
> Your BBS should run the GAMBLE.BAT file.
> Your BBS should *NOT* run the RUNGAMES.BAT or the CASINO.EXE file.
GAP BBS
-------
You will also need to modify your doors menu files and the data
file that tells the BBS what your doors are and the security
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.
===================================================
The following sysop functions are available while awaiting
keyboard input :
F5 - Shell to DOS.
F8 - Twit user and return to BBS.
F10 - Initiate chat with user.
CF10 - Answer user MANUAL bell.
Home - Main user stats.
End - Displays sysop keys available.
PgDn - Secondary user stats.
Up Arrow - Increase user's time remaining by 5 minutes.
Dn Arrow - Decrease user's time remaining by 5 minutes.
One of the nicer features about using the TWIT key, is the user
is not told that "the sysop wants them to return to the BBS".
Instead, a very plain and simple message of "returning you to the
BBS" is displayed. This way, the user is given no indication
that the sysop is hovering about.
When using the F5 shell to DOS key, to return to the door
program, simply type EXIT at the DOS command prompt. It is not
necessary to change directories back to the door directory.
Manual is smart enough to know which drive and directory the
door program is in and will reset the defaults upon return from
DOS.
The Up and Down Arrow keys increase and decrease the user's time
respectively by 5 minutes for each press of the key. There is no
indication of what is occurring (except by the fact the user's
time remaining will change), so the sysop should try not to have
a lead finger. The increase or decrease is effective only while
the user is in Manual.
This version of CASINO is a DEMO. It will not save players' cash
to disk, and only allow an intitial bankroll of $50. Brainex Telechecks
can be displayed, but not download. When registered, users' cash will
be saved to disk, and all checking services will be fully functional.
This program also requires registration of the Brainex Door Manager.
