USING PYROTO MOUNTAIN AS A REGULAR BBS
--------------------------------------
If you don't want to modify Pyroto, or don't know much about program-
ming, there is one easy modification that you might be interested in.
The accompanying SPELLS.BBS file can replace the SPELLS.DAT file that
accompanies the standard version of Pyroto Mountain Version 2.00 and
higher. It will disable the "game" aspect and make Pyroto into a "regu-
lar" Bulletin Board System.
DISABLED SPELLS
---------------
The following spells are placed at Level 500, and as such, can only be
used by the WizOp. (Pyroto marks any spell over level 400 as a "Wizop-
only" spell. Even people at level 500 can't use them.)
ASCEND BANISH BESTOW CHARGE CLOAK CLOAK CLOSE
CORRECT DEMOTE DESCEND DRAIN FEED HINTS HURL
LISTEN MANNA NATURE PROCLAIM PROMOTE REDUCE RULES
SANCTIFY SLOWTIME STEAL STOPTIME STRAIGHT SUGGEST
BBS'ING SPELLS
--------------
Unvalidated users (Level 0) get to use the Base Portal band and the spells:
BESEECH BYE CHECK HELP INFO READ SCROLLS
SEND SPECS
Regular users (Levels 1 to 29) get to use the DAT band, plus the spells:
ARTICLE BOOST CHANGE DEFOCUS DETECT DETUNE FOCUS
INQUIRE REVIEW SCAN SPELLS TELEPORT TIMEWARP TUNE
Special users (Levels 30 to 99) get the BAS band, plus these spells:
CONTACT INSCRIBE RECALL ROSTER
Privileged users (Level 100 to 299) get the COM band, plus:
OBSERVE OMNIVIEW PROBE
Co-WizOp users (Level 300-500) get access to the PFA band.
CONTROLLING THE MOUNTAIN
------------------------
The WizOp controls people's levels via the SANCTIFY spell, according to
his desire to elevate somebody. There is NO way for a wizard to increase
his own level, since the only way to move up and down is via TELEPORT.
While upping somebody's level, you may also want to give him some Esteem,
so that he can use the TELEPORT spell unimpeded.
FURTHER MODIFICATIONS
---------------------
For Pyroto Versions 2.10B and earlier, do not set any "repeating" spells
to ZERO Manna. This includes PROMOTE, DEMOTE, DRAIN and STEAL. If they
are set to zero, Pyroto will fail.
You may wish to experiment with this basic setup. Perhaps you could give
some spells, such as PROCLAIM, to Co-WizOps. Since you control a person's
level, you can exercise fine control over what people can and can not do.
Note: the INFO.TXT file should be re-written, in any case.
SOURCE-LEVEL MODIFICATIONS
--------------------------
If you're planning to modify the actual Pyroto program, there's no limit
to what you can do. However, before you start, you should get a copy of
"The Pyroto Programmer's Guide", available free on request, in single
quantities, to registered Pyroto owners. To register your copy, send $35
