Special Thanks
---------------
Thanks to Brian Pirie for creating Open Doors!
Thanks to Sandy Chidester for her amazing art!
Thanks to Joel Downer for everything!
Thanks must also be given to the great team of beta testers which played
the game throughout it's development!
Testing
--------
This game went through much testing and is very solid current and there are
no bugs to report! It operates perfectly under Window's 3.0 & Up including
Window's '95, as well as OS/2 Warp & DOS. I have no doubt in my mind that
it will work under Desqview & any other operating systems, but I do not have
the means to test them. If you have another operating system that you find
it works great under let me know so I can add it to the list! And if it
doesn't work that great, let me know and we'll get it fixed up for you.
Installation of the game!
==========================
Step 1: Uncompress the file you recieved into it's own sub-directory.
(If your reading this you've probably already done that)
Step 2: Run INSTALL.EXE to create the needed directory's, Unzip the
graphics and data files into them, and clean up the old .ZIP's
Step 4: Edit the inclosed VAMPIRES.CFG to meet your setup.
NOTE: If you are planning to use Vampires on a Multinode system,
is it HIGHLY recommended that you maintain only one
configuration file for the system, use and command line
switches for the different nodes.
With the sample configuration file you will find many comments
that will provide you with all the necessary information to maintain
it.
Step 5: Create a batch file to run it.
CD\DOORGAME\VAMPIRES
VAMPIRES VAMPIRES.CFG
CD\BBS
EXIT (Reset your BBS program)
The command line for VAMPIRES is.
VAMPIRES (Configuration file) switches
The available command line switches are:
-LRIP Local Rip mode. Not recommended for use on multinode
systems on remote nodes.
-L or -LOCAL Local Mode for Game, will automatically use Sysop
name in Config File.
-D X or -DROPFILE X Tells Vampires where to find BBS Drop File.
ie -D D:\BBS\DOOR.SYS
-N X or -NODE X Node Number ie -N 1
-P X or -PORT X Port for Node ie -P 1
-I X or -IRQ X IRQ for Node ie -I 5 (not needed for standard ports)
-NOFOSSIL Tells vampires NOT to use the Fossil Driver.
-? Help on command line switches
Resetting the Game
------------------
Although the game never needs to be reset as when it is won it will
automatically reset. Should you wish to reset it before that time just run
RESET.EXE it should only be run if you are sure you wish to reset the game.
Alternatively, you may simply delete the following files from your DATA
directory.
PLAYER.DAT
PLAYER.NDX
MAIL*.DAT
HAPP*.DAT
Multinode
---------
This game is FULLY Multinode! Internode Combat and all! On multinode
systems it is HIGHLY recommended that SHARE.EXE be active (or some
equilavent) to prevent data file corruption.
In Game Commands
----------------
The following keys will work when someone is in the game.
F9 - Help
ALT-C - Chat
ALT-D - Dump user back to BBS
ALT-L - Lock out User
ALT-H - Hang up on User
ALT-J - Drop to Dos.
ALT-K - Keyboard Off
Future Features
---------------
I consider this game far from complete. There are still a great many things
I plan to add. For instance,
The Ability to form Covens
*SOME ALREADY* Many Many more secrets to find
Any Suggestions I recieve!
