The 0.1? series releases
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
v0.10 WIDE BETA 1
============
This is basically the beta 3 release I have had little time to work on it,
but The game itself seems to be stable. The InterBBS is having problems but
with a limited beta sites i have not gottwen enough feedback ...only from
one site on which it didn't work.
Features:
- InterBBS play, read INTERBBS.DOC for more info on how to participate in
an InterBBS game. It works only with registered sysops. You can now
interact with other BBSes, through fido type mail networks. I will work on
an Internet options, though it might not be hard to set it up even now.
Local IBBS games can also be set up, with fake node numbers (1:1/1 ...)
- There are one new command line option linked to the InterBBS, -IBBSM
,see INTERBBS.DOC for more info!
- NYIBBS.EXE is added for the interbbs processing, Look at INTERBBS.DOC for
info.
- RIP is here ... that's the major improvement in this version!
- Two screen saving levels now, if a person is given an online message or
something similiar happens, the screen is saved and then restored ... same
as with chat. Now you can chat AND the user can be in a screen saving event
all at the same time ... won't corrupt screen if more then two levels are
entered.
- Few new enemies. Not many but a few.
- Full screen chat mode much like KewlChat 1.2, even supports RIP(remote
graphics only though, locally it looks like ANSI)!...
- Three abilities throwing,punching,kicking. For throwing the player needs
a rock. This can only be found in one of the events. The initial abilities
for exeisting users are set to be distributed evenly (since they already
had level raises and existing users also get 2 rocks free). Each level
raise the user can pick one ability to increase by 4. These abilities
can be used in all fights!
- User File structure changed, but used the reserved bits so no is conversion
neccessary. Existing users will get default values of the abilities.
- User Stats is much faster, but it takes a bit more memory.
- Removed the -AD command line option. Auto terminal detection is now the
default.
- Added -NAD command line option. Disables the auto terminal detection.
- Added -RIP switch, forces RIP even if the user does not have RIP.
- Messed with the Maintanance, it will be a little slower, but safer for mail.
- The editor now edits all the new values (the abilities)
- Added -MM argument. Forces maintanance even if it was run that day already,
does not check! Will force a new day on all players! Use only if you know
what you are doing. Good if you want to test the game, or if you are just
trying the game and want to test it as a several days game ...
- When local mode is invoked with the -l option a better display and
prompt is used.
- There are two main menus in the menu files, it's the one iwth the interbbs
option. And there is also the interbbs menu.
- Compiled with a new version of OpenDoors (v6.00)
- The struct.doc file updated to display the new file structure.
- 3rdparty.doc updated.
- The IGMs can now read/write the new values into the text character file.
- Sex turns not being decremented on user rapes bug fixed.
- Recompiled the Editor, and made a few fixes made it faster and safer.
- When no dropfile found the game displays it's own no dropfile msg instead of
default opendoors one.
- Screen not cleared on exit if the login was not with the "-L" argument.
- Optimized menus, saved 10k
- Optimized online fights, saved 8k
- New trimming routine.
- User names from the local login prompt are now trimmed of uneccessary
spaces.
Bugs:
- Fixed a file finding and opening bug ...
- Fixed a stack overflow bug which i'm not sure if it occured in v0.05 ...
- Fixed a bug not deleting all dead user's messages ... Revamped the deleting
part completely, making it a tiny bit slower, but MUCH MUCH safer.
- Small Local name input bug fixed. (local logon)
- Several display bugs fixed!
- "?" didn't work in drugs menu.
- Craps is spelled Crabs ...:) sorry bout this. file structures not changed
because of this though
- The idle time time slicing now actually really works ... so multitasker
support is now much much better then before.
- The "-p" command line argument now works right for NYEDIT
- Online fights should now cause more problems if an online message is sent to
that node!
v0.10 BETA 1-3 (The above is a compilation of the new features in those
releases The Wide BETA 1 is the BETA 3 release basicaly)

The 0.0? series releases
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
v0.06 (alpha release of v0.10 on my bbs only!)
==============================================
Look at v0.10 for features ... 0.06 was the marking for all the v0.10 alpha
versions, since they were on my bbs only. 0.06 did not have the complete
feature list. Was never released on any BBS but mine.
v0.05a (very minor release)
===========================
Features:
- The game can now autodetect the terminal emulation type, just use the
-AD command line option.
v0.05 (Minor Release)
=====================
Features:
- Created my own copyfile and delete routines so the game does not call dos
anymore (xcept to run IGMs).
- New in game events that happen practically anywhere in the game. They
happen sparsely though.
- The polling value can now be edited. So you can fine-tune your multitasker!
Make sure you use the new .cfg file! or copy the "PollingValue" keyword into
your .cfg file if you wish to change it!
Bugs:
- The you are being fought by another node bug fixed, finally!
v0.04 (Minor Release)
=====================
Features:
- Better slice releasing under multitaskers. THX DINK! You can turn off the
time slicing in the .cfg file if you wish.
- Does not ask if the player wants to have sex with a user of if he wants to
rape if he already used up all his sex turns.
- If a user does not have any hits of his drug it does not tell him he has to
sell it.
- Checks for flags during fights only every second, not all the time!
Bugs:
- If user said no to "you'll have to sell all yer hits of your currnt drug"
it changed the drug anywayz.
- Very minor display bugs fixed.
- Again a fix in the file checking during idle, it didn't check untill a
key was pressed!
CheatFixes:
- Well since there are a lot of people running older versions I'm not telling!
It was strange but only worked for higher level users!
v0.03c (Bugfixes only)
