DISCLAIMER - Although Digant Kasundra has tested this program, he is not
responsible for any damages that arise through the execution of this or
any related programs. DK-LOTTO is FREEWARE but Digant Kasundra maintains
his rights of ownership.
INTRODUCTION - Welcome to the DK-LOTTO! This program adds a twist to the
classic motif of IGMs. Daily a new prize is chosen at random (this version
only has 8 possible) and your players can try to win them. DK-Lotto gives
every player a fair chance to win (even if a previous player has won).
Hopefully, DK-Lotto will add a little spice to your LORD Game. After all,
it couldn't hurt: it *IS* free, you know.
INSTALLATION - Here is the step by step installation. SKIPPING OR MISINTER-
PRETING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS MAY LEAD TO INCORRECT INSTALLATION.
Step 1. Create a directory for DKLOTTO (i.e. C:\DKLOTTO\)
Step 2. Unzip ALL the files into the DKLOTTO directory.
Step 3. Run INSTALL.BAT
Step 4. The EZ-Installer should be quite simple now. Just remember some
things: DO NOT INCLUDE TRAILING BACKSLASHES! When referring to
the LORD path, the installer really wants to know where the
PLAYER.DAT file is located. When asking for the GAME path, the
installer wants to know the location of the DKLOTTO program
(.EXE and all its files).
Step 5. Select a game mode: 1: Player can play once a day; one prize per
day.
2: Player can play once a day; new prize
after someone wins.
3: Player can play once a day or until he/she
or someone else wins; new prize after a
player wins.
Step 6. Done! Now is a good time to test it, but first, perhaps you want to
double check the setup. If so, READ BELOW FIRST!
CHECKING INSTALLATION - After running the INSTALL.BAT and successfully
running DDSETUP, DKLotto's install procedure makes the following changes:
- DKLOTTO.CFG created which is a text file containing and GAMEMODE.
- 3RDPARTY.DAT (or equivalent) is edited to contain a line that will
execute the DKLOTTO.EXE with the following parameters:
[path to dklotto]\DKLOTTO /N* [LORDPATH] [GAMEPATH]
Here is a sample:
C:\DKLOTTO\DKLOTTO /N* C:\LORD\ C:\DKLOTTO\
CHANGING GAMEMODE - To change the game mode at anytime, either run DKLCFG
or edit the DKLOTTO.CFG file manually and change the 1st line to reflect the
game mode you wish the IGM to run under.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS! - If the game crashes, there are a few things you should
try. First of all, run DKLCFG to create the PRIZE.DAT and DONE.DAT
files in the DKLOTTO home directory. Second, (this usually occurs if
something happens during the middle of the execution of the game) check to
see if a TEMP.DAT file exists in the LORD Directory. IF IT DOES PLEASE READ:
Before deleting this file, make sure you still have a PLAYER.DAT file.
If you don't, rename this file PLAYER.DAT.
BUGS - Because this is a BETA version, it would be great if you reported all
bugs to me at the following address:
Digant Kasundra @ Fidonet - 1:124/3286
LinearNet - 121:2110/208
TIMENET - 78:3003/1
DIGGYLINK - 8:214/1
Thanks for your time! I hope this IGM works and I hope you decide to send
in suggestions or comments! And don't be shy! Spread this file around!
