The Happy Hacker
Version 1.3
Installation Manual & SysOp Documentation
Copyright (c) N.U.G.I. ConSorTium
** Take note: My BBS phone number has changed! **
Anyone can presently call my Support BBS 413-443-8788
Voice 413-442-7296 EST Please call before 10:00pm EST
A list of my current Door Games will be posted at the end of this
document. All new users have a full 90 minutes of DownLoad time.
All files are FREQ. from 1:321/227 9600/14400 v32/v42b or HST Dual
Standard speeds from 1:321/210
The Happy Hacker is ShareWare. The cost just $15.00 Or I
have a group rate of $35.00 for all 6 of my doors which include Who-Dunit
Interactive!, BUSTED, The Enquirer Door, Pass it on and Terra-Firma
Interactive. We have a Credit Card Door on N.U.G.I. which accepts all
major cards. We also have our registration # door online. If Plastic is not
your thing, you can send me a check at the address listed at the end of this
documentation. If you use the credit card door on my BBS you will have
instant access to your registration number.
* This version of Hacked will support:
Locked ports up to Infinity. Hacked is MultiTasker/Lan aware and will
Auto Detect fossil drivers or run on internal comm routines!
Will support Avatar/0+. Hacked also supports all Com ports and non-
standard IRQ's. 1-15. * DV Virtual Screen support.
The Happy Hacker is styled after a program I saw a long time
ago. It would dial out random phone numbers in search of other modems.
Once found it would save the phone numbers to call later! This door game
will let your users think they are hacking into other REAL computer systems.
You can run it right from your door game menu and your users will think
you are nuts! Or, you can do as I do and set up some mysterious key on
one of your menus, like 'SysOp Only' or Registered User Area. Most
folks will leave this alone, but you know there are always the curious
who can't resist pushing a key like this. Thinking that you screwed
up and gave them access to something you shouldn't have. This is the same
way I set up for my BUSTED door, if you have ever seen it. The ending
screen will inform users that it was all a joke. The worst I can think
of happening is that users will get scared and drop carrier on you. The
door provides for users to think they are dropping carrier so this
shouldn't be a problem. (I hope). Subsequent versions are in the works for
simulated trips into NORAD, NASA and other fun places. CIA Maybe?
1. Un-Arc the THEHACK3.ZIP file into it's own sub-directory. The name of
the sub-directory is unimportant.
2. The following files will be un-arched.
SYSOP.DOC -----------> This File. Printer ready
THEHACK.EXE ---------> The Happy Hacker Main Program
INSTALL.EXE ---------> Installation Program
SETUP.DAT -----------> Setup Data For Install program
*.BSV ---------------> Install program help files, screens and data
*.ANS ---------------> Ansi Screens
*.ASC ---------------> ASCII Screens
3. Running the INSTALL program:
Option A. Enter the door game you are seting up from the menu.
Option B. Enter the Sysop's First Name. Note that the First name should
be entered here exactly the same way as in the Registation Door on my
BBS.
Option C. Enter Sysop's Last name. Again, the last name entered should
be exactly the same as in the Registration door on my BBS.
Option D. This option enables the Zmodem download feature in Terra-Firma
and the Who-Dunit door games due to the size of their respective player
docs. It is not used in Hacker because there are no player docs!
Option E. Enter your Registration here. You can register by check or
credit card.
Option F. The Happy Hacker will run on any Comm Port but if you have set up
a standard comm port with a NON-standard IRQ number you must enter that
number here. If you don't understand this option or have never messed
with your IRQ comm Port settings, just leave this as 0.
Option G. You can enter any time limit between 10 and 90 minutes. If the
users BBS time left is lower than the ammount specified in the INSTALL
program, then Terra will use the lower BBS time.
Once you have entered eveything to your satisfaction enter Q to save.
You will be asked if you are running a Novell LAN. If not just answer NO.
You have just created the HACKED?.CFG file. You can then play the Happy
Hacker in Local mode by typing THEHACK LOCAL
If you have any problems while in the install program it comes
with a complete help guide built in..
The Happy Hacker can read BBS DROP files from the following BBS's.
QuickBBS, Remote Access, RBBS, SuperBBS, Telegard, WildCat 3, PcBoard
(latest), GAP, WildCat BBS, Genesis, SpitFire, WWIV, Osiris, MAXIMUS,
FORCE! and other BBS software that uses a compatible format with one
mentioned above.
Door Drop Files:
CALLINFO.BBS
DORINFO?.DEF
SFDOOR.DAT
INFO.BBS
DOOR.SYS
CHAIN.TXT
PCBOARD.DAT
If your BBS does not write one of these files you will have to use a door
patch program of some type.
4. Set up your batch file to call Hacked. You need one line to run the
program. My bat file follows. Remember the start program is called THEHACK
CD\BBS\Hacked ---------> Change to your directory of The Hacker
THEHACK HACKED1.CFG ------> Call THEHACK with the HACKED?.CFG file
that the INSTALL program made, together
on the same line.
CD\BBS ----------> Whatever it takes to get back into bbs.
All you need to do is call the program THEHACK and the HACKED?.CFG file
together on the command line and you're set.
THEHACK will run locally with a default name of SysOp, if NO
.CFG file is specified on the control line. You can run THEHACK Local
by just typing 'THEHACK LOCAL' from the DOS command prompt.
If you wish to let more than one person play local just edit your
drop file. Change the baud rates to 0 and the change the persons name to
whomever you wish. Call THEHACK with the name of the .CFG file that points
to the drop file you doctored on the command line. When THEHACK sees the 0
in the baud rate it will run local.
The following Keys are available to the SysOp while a user is on line.
Alt H = Hangs Up
Alt R or X = Returns to the BBS without hanging up
Alt C = Enters Chat Mode
Alt J = Jumps to DOS (Dos Shell)
If you can't get The Hacker running please check your spelling
and path information in your BATCH file. my games are running all over the
world without problems. Most calls I receive for help end up being spelling
mistakes or bad path commands. Recheck everything carefully before wasting
your hard earned cash calling me. Don't let this last paragraph give you
the wrong impression I am glad to help.....I also monitor the DOORWARE echo
and DOORGAMES in FidoNet.
Multitasking or Lan info:
I have tested The Hack under Desk View and Windows for Multi-
taskers. The hack has also been tested running under Novel and LanTastic.
As long as you load DOS Share.exe you should have no problems. All games
should be run from the same directory. You can enter the path information
for each nodes bbs drop file from the INSTALL program, so configuring Hacker
for multinode play is simple. The INSTALL program will write a HACKED1.CFG or
HACKED2.CFG or any node number up to 15 that you specify in the Install
program. You just need to specify which .CFG file on the command line when
you call up THEHACK.EXE for each node.
The Following Files are available from Node 1:321/227 (413)-443-8788
