[v6.8] A NEW option has been added to the CFG file to control whether
or not you wish to have the door LOG callers (ON/OFF) to a
USAGE file. A separate file is created for each Node.
02/04/96
[v6.7] When saving a game the die were not being saved. The die will
now be saved along with all the other data. The YAHTZEE.INX
file MUST be deleted as well as any files with a .SAV
extension.
ALIAS option NOT working properly.
Added 'last date played' to Bulletins for NON-InterBBS only
If a Player logged on prior to midnight on the last day of the
month and plays past midnight on the 1st of the new month, the
monthly maintenance routine would 'kick in' during the players
logon.
Eliminated the YAHTZMRG.EXE file. Merging of files created
offline by PCYAHTZ is no longer supported until PCYAHTZEE
is updated.
01/08/95
[v6.6] When saving a game in progress, the program would overwrite
the current player's user record with another user's record.
This would result in the current player being deleted from
the User file AND the duplication of the user record that was
used to overwrite the current player's record.
Eliminated the 'ANSI not detected....' message since there are
a few communications packages out there that give off their
own type of ANSI.
If using the TRIBBS.SYS system file, the door always presented
the opening screen in black and white. Will now be presented
in color.
A first time caller to the Door was being given a black and
white screen throughout the Door. The caller would then have
to use the Door option to toggle the color on. The Door will
now default to having the color turned on and the caller will
have to use the color toggle, on the game menu, to turn it off.
The Door knows that the caller is the Sysop, if the caller is
record #1 in the BBS' user database. The BBS software passes
that record number to the door via the system file. Some BBS
software does not pass the actual record number but passes a
relative number (ie: record #1 is passed as record #0). If the
number being passsed is 0, the Door will not know it is the
Sysop calling. We will now recognize the caller as the Sysop
if their record number is 0 or 1.
As more and more BBS' use Alias', we have been asked to
provide a way for the callers to use their Alias' rather
than their LogonName. All Sunrise Doors will now have this
Sysop configurable option in the CFG file.
If participating in an InterBBS game, the number of games per
day will NOT be overridden by the security specific entries in
the CFG file.
08/14/94
[v6.5] When resetting the game at end of month, the prior month's
saved games were not being deleted. With this release all
saved games will be deleted when game is being reset.
If a player tried to save a game in progress AND the player's
name contained a period (.) it would generate an Error 64.
If the player saved a game in progress, it was counted as a
FULL game played and counted against the number of games
allowed to be played per day. With this version, a saved
game will NOT be counted against the allowed games per day.
A new option has been added to the CFG file to control the
number of high score entries you wish to be displayed when
the player chooses the appropriate option OR when they are
leaving the game. There is no maximum/minmum that can be
displayed OR you can use ZERO(0) to display ALL entries.
If the XXXX/YYYY entries in the CFG file were entered in
LOWERCASE, the Door would display a CFG error and return to BBS
Using a NEW entry in the CFG, you can now define the number of
months to retain in the HALL of FAME files.
Added a new option to the playing menu that allows the player
to toggle the Color On/Off.
You will have to run a conversion program called USREXPND
(included in the Door ZIP file). This program is to be run ONCE
ONLY if you are upgrading from an earlier version of the Door.
If you do not wish to run the conversion program you can just
delete the .USR file (deleting the USR file causes the game to
start over with all prior scores being lost).
03/14/94
[v6.4] Past problems with large values in the Door.Sys or other System
Files (Drop Files) generating an OVERLOW (Error 6) error, have
been resolved.
When the Door displays the opening screen, it asks if you want
instructions and you are forced to enter a Y or N. This was
installed to handle problems encountered when using Digiboards.
With this release you can choose whether you want to force a
y/n OR if you want to use the y/N format which allows the
player to press ENTER for the default N. You must update your
CFG file, see DOC file.
Changed the color of the 'LOADING SCORES' display to make
it easier to read.
11/26/93
[v6.3] If playing InterBBS, the Score display will flash the player's
name to make it easier for them to spot their position in the
top scores.
The InterBBS bulletins were displaying the names of those
players with a zero (0) score. Since that is not relevent they
will be bypassed and not displayed.
11/25/93
[v6.2] The bulletins created, when playing an InterBBS game, were
incomplete.
11/24/93
[v6.1] When playing in the InterBBS mode, the TOP Hiscore entry
displayed on the playing board, only reflected the Highest
score for those that played on that BBS and not the Highest
score for all the participants in the InterBBS competition.
The Makeup days option and number of games played/remaining,
was not working properly if you left the game and came back
in to continue playing. You never lost any turns/games since
the turns/games would readjust the next day.
When playing in an InterBBS game, the BULLETINS created will
reflect the same screen as that seen when looking at the
Door's high scores (will not affect non-InterBBS games).
The Hiscore display when in the InterBBS mode, has changed.
The number of games a player has PLAYED will be shown in the
space previously occupied by the LAST DATE PLAYED. With this
change a player can now tell if the players around them have
played all their games to date or are possibly holding back.
Multiplying today's day number by the number of games allowed
per day will give the total number of PLAYS a player should
have if they are CURRENT.
Non-registered version will automatically reset the player's
scores anywhere
