[1.0] What Does It Do?
[ANS] Sandtiger's Bar is a small, callware In-Game Module to Legend of the Red
Dragon.
[1.5] How does it Work?
[ANS] You _must_ have Lord 3.25B or higher to run this... that is all.
[2.0] How do I set it up?
[ANS] Unlike other Lord modules, Sandtiger's Bar sets up in literally
_seconds_. Here are the steps to a sweet success.
1) Run SANDBAR.EXE
2) <G>eneral Config, put in your path to Lord, Reg Code, leave other
values for the time being, <Q>uit back to Main
3) <I>nstall SandBar
***** NOTE ***** If you are running 0.6b or 0.5b of SandBar, please
run the SANDBAR.EXE program, and it will update for
you!
***** NOTE ***** If you are running 0.7b, you can either run SANDBAR
to look at the extra configuration to edit it, or
simply let the EXE overwrite, it will auto-update.
That's it. Here's a brief note on the configuration of Sandtiger's
Bar...
When you are editing the values to buy stuff, please enter a
CAPITAL "L" to stand for the player's level. You can do addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division, by the symbols +,-,*,/.
It's pretty easy, just use the defaults for the beginning, edit at
your own will.
[2.5] Information!
[INF] Okay, I need to put this somewhere :). Here's a listing of the options
you get in Sandtiger's Bar!
SysOp-Concerned Information
* COMPLETE multi-node support with Lord. This means that as
many people as you like can run Sandtiger's Bar _and_ LORD
at the same time, Sandtiger's Bar uses the SAME file locking
routines LORD does.
* COMPLETE multi-tasker awareness, gives away ticks.
* No more messing with Drop Files, baud rates, etc... just run
<I>nstall, and Sandtiger's Bar does all the work for you!
Other...
* To get into Sandtiger's Bar, you must hit O at the main menu
of LORD.
* There are 3 gambling games - Elimination, Blackjack, and Poker
(only in reg'd version for Poker)
* You can buy everything imaginable at the Black Market!
[3.0] Ok, yay. Do I have to pay or something?
[ANS] Nope, but in order to activate people being able to play 5 Card Draw,
you must call my BBS, hit S at the main menu, hit % for the SandBar
Registration Door, and you will get your Registration Number.
NOTE!!! Only the _Basement_ has the S, then % system! :)
These are the registration sites, get REG Code on FIRST CALL!
The Basement BBS - (704)628-9908/(704)628-0017
The Borg - (615)368-7003
Boston Rocks - (617)397-8888
The Gamer's Realm - (918)457-3453
[3.5] Wait a second... You just wrote a utility that's a call away?
[ANS] From 8 people (the only 8) who got advance copies of Sandtiger's Bar..
They all asked me two questions...
"How much is this gonna cost?"
To which I replied
"It's callware, register on-line on my BBS!'"
To which they said
"Why? You could charge $10 for this and get rich!"
I will answer this to everyone....
I have found utilities for Lord... That do quite what Sandtiger's
Bar does. But I found them overpriced. And, in one case, badly
written. So think of Sandtiger's Bar as the Renegade Equivalent.
But I'm not quite like Cott Lang. :) So, I wrote Sandtiger's. If you
want to donate money, I'm sure that not only will I like you better,
I'll probably stick you on the beta team, too :).
If you're interested in making Sandtiger's more sensational, please
give me your suggestions, I will implement as time permits. Version
1.0 will be out sometime in the next week or two, depending on the
bugs :).
When I reach v1.0, Sandtiger's Bar will be freeware. Alternatly,
for a reg code, you may internet email me at
joseph.masters@thebasement.com
and give me the name you want it registered to.
{THANKS} Thanks go to Seth Able (For writing this awesome door and make the
Structs available for download)
Another round of THANKS to Seth for being overly anxious about
SandBar.
Bob Dalton for his marvelous DDPlus! <G>
FK_FOSSIL and the Forbbiden Knights Systems for their IDLETICK
routine.
All the wonderful people who have actually sent in DONATIONS for
SandBar (HINT HINT HINT! <G>)
and
The Dave Matthews Band (I've listened to their new CD about 20 times
while writing this program) And, thanks to you wonderful people
who are paying for NPCLord, I got the NEWEST one, Under The Table
and Dreaming... check it out!
FOR MORE LORD UTILITIES!!!!!
Either call one of the support BBSs...
or
EMail LORDWARE@thebasement.com for a UUENCODED Zip!
** TIPS **
A few suggestions made by testers...
* Change your BarCoins to gold to a LEVEL ratio, so that it's even
between levels, and level 12ers don't necessarily have as much
of an advantage (suggested rate: L*L*L*L)
* Don't be confused by the LEVEL (L) notation, it makes this util
stand out!
* Give every value a weird number (i.e. L*L*10-3*L/6) so it keeps users
on their toes!
* The Defaults work great on my system!

NOTE! THIS IS A WIDE BETA AND FREELY DISTRIBUTABLE...
