+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
WARNING! This game might contain material some people might find offensive,
please review the game if you are not sure. You might edit the language file
if you wish, "LINES.DAT" and "MENUS.DAT". (Never offended me! It's quite clean
as for my personal opinion)
"LINESC.DAT" and "MENUSC.DAT" are the clean version files.

WHAT IS IT?:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
NY2008 is a fully multi-node aware RPG door game, which includes on-line
fights and, on-line messages. Also the game includes all essential parts of
an RPG game, being similiar to some other popular doors, like LORD or USURPER.
The purpose of the player is to blow up New York and get rid of it's evil ways
for this the players need an Atomic Bomb. Try the game out with the -L option.
This game can run in ASCII, ANSI, AVATAR or RIP. It also allows InterBBS
gameplay, read INTERBBS.DOC to read how to set up an InterBBS game.
There is a clean mode in now with the -CL option. (I don't recomend it!)
No reset is neccessary, the game assumes it's a new game if the user files
are missing.
If you want to change some of the language, edit files LINES.DAT and MENUS.DAT!
(or LINESC.DAT and MENUSC.DAT for clean mode)
RIP stuff is in MENUS.RIP, MENUSC.RIP, LINES.RIP and LINESC.RIP.

UPGRADING:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
form ALL versions:
==================
Just unzip the archive into yer directory. Check for new stuff in the
SAMPLE.CFG file so that you can edit your .CFG file. It is not necessary to
use the SAMPLE.CFG file, but It might have new stuff in it. Also check out
SAMPLEIB.CFG fo the InterBBS setup file. If you wish to have interbbs
you will have to copy SAMPLEIB.CFG to INTERBBS.CFG and edit it with your info
READ INTERBBS.DOC for more info on InterBBS.
There is no conversion neccessary from v0.10 since i used reserved fields.
so just unzip the archive into the game dir ...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
INSTALATION:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Well to get you up and running fast, let's get to the instalation. Copy all
files into a directory (e.g. C:\NY2008) and edit the SAMPLE.CFG file to your
systems specifications and then save it as NY2008.CFG. It has been known to
cause problems, if you edit the comm parameters in the .cfg file, I recomend
leaving them commented out if your bbs software can pass those to the program.
They are there for the purpose if some bbs didn't pass these.
The game will read NY2008.CFG unless otherwise specified, so make sure that
NY2008.CFG file exists. If it does not exist, it will use default settings,
but I'm sure you wanna change some of them.
If your bbs software cannot pass the comport information through the door
file, then edit the comport options in the .CFG file. If you run a multiple
nodes on such a system create more .CFG files (e.g. NY1.CFG, NY2.CFG) edit
these ... (You have to put all the settins in both af them!) and start the
NY2008.exe with the -C option (e.g. NY2008.EXE -Cny1.cfg)
If you have a bbs software that passes the comport information leave the
comport settings in the .CFG file commented out. Even on a multinode system.
!!Unless you use non-standard IRQ's, read in the problems section!)
The game does not need to be reset ... if all system files are missing it
tells the program to start over. If you ever need a reset run:
NY2008 RESET
which will erase all user information. If you are running interbbs game
you can use this command to, reset the game and stay in the interbbs game or
kill all interbbs info but not reset the game.
If you specified different door directories in .cfg file than the one that
the bbs is run on, just run:
NY2008 -C<config file to use> RESET
NOTE: the file of winners will not be deleted on reset to keep records
NOTE2: reset only works locally!
The game does not need to be reset at all for that matter, every time
somebody wins he is just ereased so others can continue to play and this
person may start over. So the game is more or less continuous.
Take a look at the EXAMPLE.BAT to see an example batch file to run the game.
The game now does not read in the bps rate if you are using fossil. Use the
-RDBPS option to force reading in the bps rate (only if you have trouble!)
If you run Wildcat then if the game don't work, try editting .CFG files for
each node (they'll be same escept for BBSName and Node fields) and then call
the game like:
NY2008 -CNY3.CFG
That is assuming you made a .cfg file named ny3.cfg, try using the command
line parameters as explained in example.bat first. This is the more
difficult solution and you should use it only if your system gets confused
by long command lines.
If you run with multinode stuff enabled:
I recomend running "NY2008 -CR" everynight when nobody is online as this
should solve flag problems if there are any ... (If program terminated and
did not erase them)
If You want to set up and InterBBS game read INTERBBS.DOC

Personalities
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
NY2008 can behave like (status line and sysop keys):
NY2008 (behaves as the Standard, but the status line has player stats)
Standard Opendoors Door (Similiar to to RA 1.11)
Wildcat
Remote Access (Looks like 2.0x)
PCBoard
You can switch to the NY2008 personality anytime by pressing Alt-[F1] in the
game. From this personality you can go to any other personality. Or you can
set the default personality in the .CFG file.

Clean Mode
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
USE OF CLEAN MODE TAKES AWAY SOME CHOICES FROM THE PLAYER, WHICH ARE VERY
MUCH PART OF THE GAEM, LIKE RAPES, PLAYER AND FROM THE SEX MENU. I DON'T
RECOMEND USING THE CELAN MODE, BUT IF YOU JUST REALLY DON'T LIKE THAT STUFF
THERE YA GO.
I don't think it's neccessary as the game is quite clean, and adding this
will prolly not making it as fun and also taking away some choices for the
player.
At requests I added clean mode. I cleand up the lines.dat and menus.dat files
and saved them as linesc.dat and menusc.dat. Use the -CL option to enable
clean mode. Rape and getting hookers
