└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
NOTE: CLEAN mode is supported, if it is enabled in your LORD game, this
IGM will lock out the entire upstairs, and the more seductive parts of
the IGM. I would rate this IGM as PG-13 when running with CLEAN mode
OFF, but it is even cleaner when CLEAN mode is enabled. If you think
other areas should be locked out when clean mode is on, please let us
know.
Welcome to Banda's Boardinghouse of Vanadia, this is the first expansion
module to The Realm of Vanadia series of Inter-IGMs. In this Inter-IGM
users will be able to visit with the gypsy Minerva, in her trailer on
the way to Banda's. There they will be able to curse other players, play
the gypsy's game, spy on other players, and perform many other functions.
Once they reach Banda's they can talk with a beggar; attempt to get flowers
from Banda's garden; attack the protector, Garmond; talk with Banda or one
of the girls (or boys if the player is a female); play some poker with
incredible ANSI graphics; test their luck at keno; dance and increase
their charm (for a price); bet on the cock fights (either individually
or in a Tournament); pick fights with Vanadians in the basement; steal and
sell silverware, faires and flowers; get a room for the night (with or
without an occupant); explore the upstairs where they may find Vanadians,
girls, Garmond, the president <EG!>, or one of MANY other things; etc...
RIP support has been recently added, and more graphics will be added
later.
As you can see from this PARTIAL list, Banda's Boardinghouse of Vanadia is
one of the largest IGMs ever written for LORD. It is also one of the
finest examples of ANSI art and multinode interaction available in the
BBS game market. The Realm of Vanadia and Banda's were designed to
challenge players, so they may have to figure out some of the many secrets
and they can even die (tell them to mind their manners in Banda's if they
are worried about dying). This Inter-IGM is almost like an entirely
seperate BBS game, so don't be surprised if your users spend most of their
time in LORD at The Realm of Vanadia.
The Realm of Vanadia series of Inter-IGMs. In all there will be SIX
Inter-IGMs in The Realm of Vanadia series. All of these IGMs will be based
on the Vanadia Map (viewable inside of Vanadia's Arena of Warriors) and
work together in a multinode environment. The term Inter-IGM refers to
the ability for users to compete, communicate and interact with other
users that are in ANY of The Realm of Vanadia series of Inter-IGMs. This
concept brings a whole new dimension of multinode support to L.O.R.D. and
allows the users to interact in more ways than ever imagined before.
Vanadians (Non-Playing Characters) are also in the Realm and will provide
those users on single node boards with competition and excitement.

│ List of included files in the Archive │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
BANDAS.EXE - The Main executable
V1BANDAS.DOC - This Documentation file
FILE_ID.DIZ - A short description of this program
REGISTER.DOC - A Registration form for G.A.C. Computer Services
Products.
*.ART - Picture files
*.DAT - Data files
NOTE: Many other data files may be created in support of the software
NOTE: For VERY busy multinode systems, contact us about individual
art pictures. These will use more disk space, but will require
less hard drive access when the IGM is running.
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Installation Instructions │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
NOTE: For multinode systems, SHARE.EXE must be loaded to run these IGMs.
Also, use the batch file SETREAD.BAT to set the necessary files to
read-only. There is also a file NOREAD.BAT that will set the files
back to normal access.
OPTION 1:
NOTE: YOU MUST ALREADY HAVE THE REALM OF VANADIA INSTALLED ON YOUR SYSTEM!
Simply unpack all of the files in this archive into the directory containing
The Realm of Vanadia Inter-IGMs. Vanadia's Arena of Warriors has a built in
expander and will automatically detect that this program is available to the
users. This is the preferred method of running this and all of The Realm of
Vanadia Inter-IGMs since they were designed to work together.
It couldn't get any easier than this...
OPTION 2:
NOTE: I recommend placing all of The Realm of Vanadia IGMs into the same
directory, this is the only way to get the Inter-IGM support, and
will save some hard drive space.
1 - Unpack the contents of this archive into the VANADIA directory
or into a new directory called VANADIA.
2 - Run BANDAS CONFIG and setup any options that may not be
configured (it will read the VANAD
