BUSTED! Ver 5.03
This small door was conceived by me as a way to trick and trap some of my
more curious and inquisitive users. I think you know the type, they always
seem to be poking their noses around some place you don't want them to, or
trying to get into a restricted area to do who knows what.
On my Door Games menu I added an option called "SysOps User Edit" right
along with the other door titles. A lot of users will leave it alone, but
there are always those few who can't resist the chance to push that key!
Once they do, the next thing they see on their screen is a realistic
message "Opening user.dat file" followed by "opening BBS.dat file". After
a pause the user is prompted to "Please enter SysOp's password!".
Once they realize they should not be in that area, it's too late! No
matter what password they try or even if they just push enter, the program
will grant them permission to a Fake User Editor!
The User Editor will allow tham to make fake changes to their BBS account.
Notice I said fake changes, there is NO danger of them actually modifying
any of your system files. BUSTED does not read or modify your BBS files
in any way!! It is all internal to the game. The door will keep track of
how long they spend in the editor and which, if any, changes they attempt
to make.
When the user chooses to quit the editor, they will get BUSTED!, and then
asked if they want to see a list of the other untrustworthy users. In the
Hall of Shame!
Busted 5.02 is a Communication Library upgrade version, and to
update my support numbers. They Changed! Voice 413-442-7296 or BBS
413-443-8788
This program is considered shareware! But is part of a three door
package on my bbs. For $15.00 by check or credit card you will receive
BUSTED and two other NUGI Doors The Enquirer and Pass It On....The
Registration number for BUSTED will work with these other two doors! We also
have a 6 door package to include Terra-Firma, Who-Dunit and The Hacker
for $35.00.
Call my BBS 413-443-8788 and register with your credit card.
All first time callers have full access....
You will receive an instant upgrade on my bbs which will allow
you to use the Registration Number door.
I will upload your registered copy to your bbs if you prefer this
method, NetMail or SnailMail.
With that out of the way, welcome to the BUSTED! SysOp Docs. Lets make
this short and pointless!
BUSTED is MULTINODE capable and will support Locked ports up
to Infinity (or at least as fast as we can go now). Busted will support
Avatar/0+ or ANSI. Will auto detect fossils or run on internal comm
routines. Busted is Mutitasker aware and supports ALL comm ports and
IRQ's 1-15.
1. Un-Arc the BUSTED53.ZIP file into it's own sub-directory. The name of
the sub-directory is unimportant.
2. The following files will be un-arched.
BUSTED.EXE ------> Main Program
BUSTED.CFG ------> Busted Control file
INSTALL.EXE -----> Install Program
SETUP.DAT -------> Data for the Install Program
PLAYERS.DAT -----> Players data file
BUSTED.DOC ------> This file
*.BSV -----------> Help screens for the Install Program
3. Run INSTALL.EXE and answer the questions. This program will write a
BUSTED1.CFG file. The Install program comes with it's own help screens.
. 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 BUSTED because there are no player docs!
Option E. Enter your Registration here. You can register by check or
credit card.
Option F. BUSTED 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 BUSTED 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 BUSTED?.CFG file. You can then play the BUSTED
in Local mode by typing BUSTED LOCAL
If you have any problems while in the install program it comes
with a complete help guide built in..
BUSTED 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. If you are at a loss my BBS has several fine
Shareware programs of this nature for downloading.
4. Set up your batch file to call BUSTED!
BUSTED.BAT ----------> Name of Bat file
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CD\BBS\BUSTED ----------> Change to your directory of Who-Dunit!
BUSTED.EXE BUSTED1.CFG ----> Call BUSTED with the BUSTED?.CFG file that
you created with the INSTALL program.
CD\BBS --------> Whatever it takes to get back into bbs.
All you need to do is call the program and the BUSTED?.CFG file
together on the command line and you're set.
BUSTED will run locally with a default name of SysOp, if NO
.CFG file is specified, or if it finds a baud/comm port set to 0 in the Drop
file. Just type BUSTED LOCAL on the command line to 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 BUSTED 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 BUSTED under Desk View and Windows for Multi-
taskers. BUSTED 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 BUSTED
for multinode play is simple. The INSTALL program will write a BUSTED1.CFG or
BUSTED2.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 BUSTED.EXE for each node.
Have fun! If you need any assistance I can be reached on my bbs,
N.U.G.I., where the latest Enquirer, Who-Dunit, pass it On and Terra-Firma
program versions can be found. (413)-443-8788. I monitor DOORWARE
DOORGAMES and the DDS echo in FiDoNet.
