TANK WARS V1
by
Scott A. Kraemer
INTRO:
I'll make this short, since I hate writting DOCS! TANK WARS is a RIP
Only game that requires RIPscrip emulation. This game is based on
RISK, but I didn't want copy GLOBAL WARS, I made it with Tanks! You
must have a mouse when playing this game. This is my first attempt
after making RIPMOD for WWIV bbs to program. Its actually my first game!
It took me something like 6 months to get it done. There are many options
I would like to have added, but just havent had time to do them. I have
plans on adding these options in the next version due out in 9/01/94.
The maps for the game are transmitted to the user when he first runs the
game. It will transfer ICONS and MAPS to his hard drive. This will allow
FAST map displays even at 2400 baud.
You must have the program DSZ.COM or DSZ.EXE located in your path somewhere
this game requires it to transfer the icons to the players.
NOTE: You can't play this game locally. Its impossible, unless you can
figure out whats going on with all the RIPscrip code going by real fast!
This Game supports RIPscrip 1.54 only at this time.
WWIV SETUP:
1. Make a directory anywhere called TANKWAR
2. pkunzip TANKWAR1.ZIP into it
3. Run the INSTALL.BAT FILE (it will create subdirectory's etc)
4. Edit the TANKWAR.INI file to reflect the directory's you want.
(there is a syntax/explanation of that file within itself)
5. copy TANK.BAT into your WWIV directory
6. Edit TANK.BAT to reflect where its at (CHAIN.TXT MUST BE
IN THE TANKWAR DIRECTORY TO RUN!)
heres what TANK.BAT looks like:
@echo off
copy chain.txt e:\tank
e:
cd\tank
tank
