Lord Bulletin Maker v1.7
------------------------
By Joseph Masters
[1.0] What Does It Do?
[ANS] LordBull creates 9 different bulletins that pertain to your LORD game.
[1.5] Uses...?
[INF] Use it to popularize Lord on your BBS. LORD on _my_ BBS is always
popular, but to use another example, BRE was played by 2 people for
about a month on my system (inter-bbs), but when I stuck up all of
the bulletins available, the popularity increased to all 25 people
playing. And, these bulletins were not "forced" bulletins, they
were hidden in a little menu off the main menu. These should increase
popularity in the LORD games!
NEW NOTE!!! !!! LORD on my system has now more Bulls than Usurper!
*** Rejoice! *** (I'm just saying this because
Usurper crashed my BBS for XMas week, I was on
vacation!!!)
[2.0] How does it work?
[ANS] Edit LORDBULL.CFG -- here are how the lines go:
1 - Path to LORD stuff
2 - Path & filename of the ANsI Ultimate Warriors Bulletin
3 - Path & filename of the AsCII Ultimate Warriors Bulletin
4 - Path & filename of the ANsI Romantic Warriors Bulletin
5 - Path & filename of the AsCII Romantic Warriors Bulletin
6 - Path & filename of the ANsI Hall of Fame Bulletin
7 - Path & filename of the AsCII Hall of Fame Warriors Bulletin
8 - Path & filename of the ANsI Player Killers Bulletin
9 - Path & filename of the AsCII Player Killers Bulletin
10 - Path & filename of the ANsI Death Knights Rankings
11 - Path & filename of the AsCII Death Knights Rankings
12 - Path & filename of the ANsI Magic Users Rankings
13 - Path & filename of the AsCII Magic Users Rankings
14 - Path & filename of the ANsI Thieves Rankings
15 - Path & filename of the AsCII Thieves Rankings
16 - Path & filename of the ANsI Wealthiest Warriors Rankings
17 - Path & filename of the AsCII Wealthiest Warriors Rankings
18 - Path & filename of the ANsI Normal Players Rankings
19 - Path & filename of the AsCII Normal Players Rankings
**** UPGRADING FROM 1.0 ****
Edit your LORDBULL.CFG file to incorporate these 8 new values.
**** UPGRADING FROM 1.5 ****
Edit your LORDBULL.CFG file to incorporate these 2 new values.
**** UPGRADING FROM 1.6 or later ****
Edit your LORDBULL.CFG file to reflect this 1 new value (NORMAL RANK)
[2.1] Note on Ultimate Warriors Bulletin
[ANS] This bulletin has a "score" column - this "score" is conceived by this
program, and not by LORD. You will not find this value anywhere in
LORD. And no, I will not say what I use to come up with this ranking..
<G>...
[2.5] Note on if you don't want a bull...
[INF] It's imaginable you don't want to create one of the bulletins -- just
leave the line blank, it'll handle it... just _don't_ set it to
a path that doesn't exist. The program can't handle this.
[2.7] Note on New Features
[INF] LordBull is enhanced! Here are the new features!
* Color Support (` codes) For ALL bulletins!
* New NORMAL bulletin (all players) to take the place of Seth's
bulletin! This allows colors!
[3.0] Ok, yay. Do I have to pay or something?
[ANS] Nah, NPCLord costs $$ (send it in!) and I'm content!
My BBS number: (704)628-9908/(704)628-0017
And if you like it, please call, write me a letter, I read all e-mail
every 12 hours or so and will answer any and all of your questions.
Also, please distribute this file to other BBSs. I need more people
to know about this! (Your mission, if you choose to accept it...)
Donations are always accepted as well!!! <G>
[4.0] Upcoming!
[ANS] Since so many of you read the dox for this part, here are some
PROJECTED projects, and their PROJECTED finishing dates, this is
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING solid! In other words, don't whine if they aren't
out on these dates (or never appear!)
LordNet - Network your LORD game
{THANKS} Thanks go to Seth Able (For writing this awesome door and make the
Structs available for download)
Hey, if anyone sends me some
DMB merchandise or anything, I'll give you free regs of my softwares
until the end of time!
Someone for telling me about colors.
