Ok, for those of us running Renegade wondering just how to setup ZMessage,
here ya go.
First of all, you will want to go to your Menu Editor (The # key). Then
press I to insert a new menu named START. Now, press M to Modify this menu.
Now press I to insert a new command (insert it before #1).
Now press M to Modify this new command. Now, leave 1 and 2 alone and press 3.
Now type FIRSTCMD and press enter.
Leave 4 alone and press 5. Now, enter the appropriate Cmdkeys
(DG for Door.sys, DD for Dorinfo1.def, etc.). Now press 6 to enter Options.
For your option, type ZMESSAGE.BAT or the name of your BAT file. Leave Flags
alone and quit.
Now edit the Quit to Main command. Press 3 and type FIRSTCMD. Make sure it has
MAIN under options and quit. Now you will write a .BAT file to start Zmessage.
This is a copy of mine (edit it to suit your needs.) Ignore the REM commands
if you are just reading. I added them in if you have your directories setup
exactly like mine so you can just cut this out and paste in a new file and
save it as your .BAT file to start zmessage.
REM Turn the echo off to make it neat-looking :)
@echo off
REM Change to your Zmessage directory (change Zmessage to the name of your Zmes.
REM directory!)
cd\zmessage
REM Start Zmessage with your dropfile path and use
REM the LOGON switch (make sure LOGON is in ALL caps.)
REM Set any other switches such as NOFOSSIL etc.
zmessage c:\renegade LOGON
REM Change back to your Renegade main directory
cd\renegade
REM Delete your dropfile, cleaning things up a bit.
del door.sys
Ok, now you will need to set up your Users to start in START.MNU instead of
MAIN.MNU. Just change this in all your validation levels (Go to System Config,
hit G, and then M to modify a level, and press M. Now type START and press
enter. Repeat for all your levels.) To modify your users to start in START.MNU
that have already logged on, press U to go in the User Editor. Now press Y and
type START and press enter. Repeat for all of your users.
And that's it! Enjoy ZMessage, and thanx Kurt for an EXCELLENT automessaging
door!
