What is The Faire?
==================
The Faire is a 32-bit wcCODE executable (WCX32) game exclusively for Sysops
running Wildcat! v5 Wildcat v4.x versions are available.
The Faire (faire.wcx) is a Wildcat WcCode (5.x) application that is
very similar to LORD. It is a completely different theme than LORD but
has a vary familliar feel to it. There are ways to make money, lose money
die, get life, etc. It has battles, a vast maze, a meadevil faire, even
a church! It has the ability to add external .wcx's, including InterNet
style MUD/RPG's. It has its own built-in graffitti module - Registered
versions only. LOTS of hidden surprises! Users can write mail to each
other. Users can Attack one another.
I am humble enough to admit that my game probably is lacking in some ways to
Seth's game - but hey it isn't a copy!
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE FILE BEFORE YOU TELL ME THAT IT WON'T WORK ON YOUR
BOARD OR BEFORE YOU DISCARD IT!
THE GAME DOES WORK! (IF YOU FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS!)
Ok now here is what it will not do :
The unregistered version is FULLY funtional except for the following.
1. You can't get into The Labrynth.
2. The graffitti capability will not work.
3. The players can't get to level 10 where they fight the master.
Q. How do you register it you ask?
A. Simple! A couple of ways.
1. Send $10 to -----

2. Use your Credit Card and call my BBS. 310.378.3081
When you are prompted for the name and password just enter the
following at the first prompt.
First Name - THE FAIRE
Password - REGISTER
Either way once we have proccessed your money, (about 1 week on checks,
1 day on cards), you will be able to call back with your real name, and
password you selected when you filled out the application and receive
your reg #. You may also select to leave me your internet address and
I will E-Mail the reg code to you.
The Registration Number is Unique to your BBS exlusively - This means
that if you give it to anyone else or try to use anyone elses - The
game will not function! The reg code will only work with your BBS.
Also The Reg Code will work on all the future versions of this game.

Setting up The Faire
=================
The Faire is relatively easy to set up. If you have any problems, support is
available on the Home board. If you any any comments or suggestions, please
forward them asap. The following steps should get you up and running in
under 5 minutes:
1. Unzipping
============
Unzip the game.
Copy FAIRE.WCX into C:\WC5.
Then...............
I have chosen to place all these
in one directory > C:\WC5\DOOR\FAIRE
BI.DAT
CHMEM.DAT
HOM.DAT
EXPLOR.CFG
MAP.1
Then................
** FAIRE.CFG needs to be placed into your WC5\DATA directory or whatever
directory you have all of your system database files in. If you use
SYSOP as your security profile name then no need to create this
file - it will be made the first time you run the game. Otherwise
go to step #2.
2. Editing the Configuration file
------------------------------
The Faire reads most of its settings from a configuration file called
FAIRE.CFG. This is a simple ascii file that must be modified to
reflect your personal preferences. The format for each line in the
file is noted in the FAIRE.CFG file. This file must also reside in
the wildcat home directory, so go edit it now!
If your security profile name is NOT (SYSOP) then you need to copy
FAIRE.SAM to FAIRE.CFG and edit the contents.
NOTE!:
I also suggest creating a seperate directory for all the user files.
I use C:\WC5\DOOR\FAIRE\USERS <-Make sure to edit FAIRE.CFG for this
IF YOUR SECURITY PROFILE IN MAKEWILD IS _NOT_ "SYSOP" THEN DO THIS!
You will need to unzip GRAFF.ZIP into your USERS directory.
3. Setting up the FAIRE.WCX
-------------------------
Fire up wcMENU and add a selection key on your door menu to run
FAIRE. Here is an example:
Selection Key: 4
Description: The Faire
Command Type: Run wcCODE program
Program: FAIRE
Parameters:
Make sure you set the proper access to this menu option by clicking
the "Access" button.
4. Relax
-----
That's it - you are done.
