The Ritual Altar is an Alternate Reality Module for use with a REGISTERED
COPY of Lachrymator. It's a really cool random events type game in which
you are challenged by an evil warlock to lie voluntarily upon his ritual
altar...will he kill you..or give you gold??? Who knows...there's a lot
that can happen.....why not find out! :)
░░▒▒▓▓██.·∙°∙·.·∙·HoW Do I SeT iT Up?¿?·∙·.·∙°∙·.██▓▓▒▒░░
MAKE SURE TO INSTALL LACHRYMATOR BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THIS :)
The Ritual Altar is a wcCODE program - completely coded using Mustang
Software's wcCODE - Developement Engine for Wildcat! 4. Using this language
makes both our lives and yours a LOT easier. The need for batch files and
the reading of a drop file are obsolete. So are the problems associated with
this method of door game. First unzip this file into it's own directory.
We suggest that you make it a subdirectory of whatever directory you have
Lachrymator in. But of course this is ENTIRELY up to you! We also suggest
that you name it RITUAL..that makes sense RIGHT? Next, go into your
Lachrymator directory, Find the file called EXTRAS.DAT....and edit it.
For your convenience here is a sample that you can use (either way it
demonstrates the proper format). The format is as follows:
COMPLETE PATH TO RITUAL.WCX
DESCRIPTION THAT WILL APPEAR TO USERS - Include WC color codes
Here's an example for you to use (if you so see fit)
this is what my entry for the ritual altar looks like in EXTRAS.DAT
d:\wildcat\lach10\ritual\ritual.wcx
@0D@T@05@he @0D@R@05@itual @0D@A@05@ltar
of course you will probably have to modify the path to fit your system :) .
PLEASE NOTE: THIS MODULE MUST BE RUN FROM WITHIN LACHRYMATOR......
ANY ATTEMPT AT RUNNING THIS "STAND-ALONE" WILL RESULT IN
UTTER FAILURE :).

LASTDED.DAT - Who was the last player killed in this game

RITPREV.TXT - Who was sacrificed the day before

We plan to make additional game modules available to expand the Lachrymator
world and also allow you to customize your Lachrymator game to make your
users HAPPY! At the time this doc was written (11/11/95) the following modules
were available to you. An additional registration fee may be applicable
depending on the module size and popularity.
These alternate modules will ONLY work on a reg'd version of Lachrymator!!!!!
Here's what we have so far.....
Requiem - a Massive Dungeon on the Astral Plane...lots of death, destruction
and cool stuff to find....almost as large a world as Lachrymator -
will be a must for most boards once Lachrymator get more popular...
beat the rush and be the first on your block to get this one!!!!!!!
A registration fee will apply to this module
The Dark Towers - a cool betting game....peasant slaves are chucked offa
towers and you bet on which goes "Splat!" first.......
The Ritual Altar - Do you dare lie upon the Warlock's Ritual Altar? If you
do who knows what rewards you may get...either way you'll
get your "Just Rewards"...:)
Thievin' Heathen's - A cool healing module...where you can restore hitpoints
, buy some charm, get a sex change, or GET REVENGE!!!!!
More will be on the way in the FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!
Please contact the support boards on a regular basis - the newest versions of
ALL Lachrymator stuff will be online there!!!
Also...if you have any suggestions or "constructive criticism" please feel
free to contact us as well...we are always open to suggestions and would
enjoy hearing from you.
