Seven v1.01
A word of caution with loading ANY new game. Before putting it online for
your users to play, make sure you watch a user successfully play the game.
Sometimes a game will work just fine locally, but fail over the modem,
including this one, if it is not set up correctly.
NOTICE: Over 50% of the BBS's this game was tested on required the use
of BNU or other FOSSIL driver. If your having any problems running this
game remotely, the first thing to try is loading BNU (HIGHLY RECOMENDED).
Seven may be played locally without the need for BBS software by executing
the program with the argument LOCAL. eg C:\>SEVEN LOCAL
Be sure to remove any BBS dropfiles from that dir.
You must execute SEVEN.EXE from its own directory, by changing to it.
Seven will look for a dropfile in its own directory, if you do not pass as
the first argument, where to find the drop file to use. Examples:
SEVEN.EXE \BBS\CHAIN.TXT ;looks in the \BBS dir for CHAIN.TXT
SEVEN.EXE ;looks in the \SEVEN dir for first
;dropfile it can find
SEVEN.EXE CHAIN.TXT ;looks in the \SEVEN dir for CHAIN.TXT
********************* Installation steps ***********************
1. Make a new dir for Seven and unzip all files in that dir.
2. Edit SEVEN.BAT to fit your needs, and move it to your BBS dir.
3. Edit SEVEN.CFG to fit your needs.
4. Update your door to run the game.
5. If you want to inform your users that it is their turn in the
game when they logon, read 7TURN.DOC.
For WWIV BBS's
Run Chain Edit and insert a new chain. The Chain information should
be as shown below:
A. Description : Seven
B. Filename : SEVEN.BAT <---Use the batch file, not the EXE.
C. SL : 0
D. AR : None
E. ANSI : Required
F. Dos Interrupt: Not Used <---Must NOT be used
G. 300 Baud : NOT Allowed
H. Shrink : Yes <---Recommended
I. Disable pause: Yes <---Recommended
J. Local only : No
K. Multi User : No <---Recommended
The game has its own FOSSIL driver, but will use the one you have
loaded first before using its own. It is possible that you may need to
load one for the game, I suggest BNU if your having problems.
(Over 50% of BBS's tested required a FOSSIL)
Seven creates several files. You may want to know what they are. On first
run, Seven creates a subdirectory called DATA. In that directory there may
or may not be the following files:
GAMES.DAT a 25 byte file, indicating what games are created.
GAMEx.DAT x=game number. Holds players name, tile, date last played, etc.
GAMEx.HIS History of plays for game x.
GAMEx.MAL Mail to be sent to players of game x.
TOPTEN.DAT Name and score of anybody who either wins or loses a game.
LASTWIN.DAT Name and score of the last winner of any game.
Seven was written to require no maintenance by the SysOp. Just install
it, and let it do the work of creating and deleting files.
If you want to delete a game in progress, or completed before its
scheduled deletion date, just delete GAMEx.* where x is the game number
you want removed. (be sure not to delete GAMES.DAT, Unless you want to
delete all games in use)
All games not played, or completed games, will be automatically deleted in
the days set by DELETEDAYS in the SEVEN.CFG file.
A special Thank You to those people involved in the betatesting of this
game. Without your help, this game would not have been possible.
