What is Usurper?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Usurper is a ANSI/ASCII doorgame which requires approximately 200k of free
memory to run.
Usurper is a fastpaced doorgame that only has one purpose :
to give its players a moment of joy and relaxation. It only
takes a couple of minutes to play each day, it's easy to understand
and the gameplay is straightforward ; get bigger, meaner and stronger.
The settings are a fantasy scenario inhabited with
different races and creatures. The game can be completed when
a player reaches the darkest dungeon at the bottom of the big
mountain. He then gets immortalized. However, players can also
struggle for earthly power. They can form teams who fight eachother
for gangland. Computer characters can also be sworn into the teams,
characters can be played good or bad with different results and
races have their own special abilities and weapons.
WARNING! Usurper sometimes confront the players with brutal violence,
sex and drugs. IF you feel offended, have any doubts or objections :
don't run this door!
Installation
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Make a subdirectory called USURPER or something.
Unzip all files in the Usurper.zip archive to this
directory. Usurper currently works with the DOOR.SYS or
DORINFO1.DEF dropfiles. If your board isn't supported
you can also use one of the many doorconverters like Doormaster
to convert your dropfile to DOOR.SYS or DORINFO1.DEF.
The next thing you must do is to run the EDITOR.EXE
program. Choose the [R]eset Game option and all the
necessary datafiles, along with a configuration file
will be created.
Thats it! Now you can try to run Usurper.Exe /L, and see
that everything works.
Maintenance takes place automatically when needed.
For local login invoke /L on the command line :
Usurper.exe /L
For Forced Maintenance invoke /M on the command line :
Usurper.exe /M
Usurper also creates some standard ASCII/textfiles that
you might want to display outside the door :
SCORES.TXT -> Highscore list including all characters.
TEAMS.TXT -> Team highscore list.
NEWS.TXT -> Newsfile of the daily happenings.
YNEWS.TXT -> Yesterdays newsfile.
FAME.TXT -> The heros who made it!
Alt-C enters chatmode.

!! Always read the WHATS.NEW file for the latest news !!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Latest version of Usurper can always be reached from my BBS:
Silent Service, Fidonet (2:201/232)
FileRequests (FREQ:s) can be made under the magic name : 'USURPER'.
