Version 2.0
First of all:
!!!!! DELETE the OLD RA-PONG.HOF file !!!!!!
And read this newfile OR the docu, the -T: parameter has changed!!
(And some other things too!)
- I rewrote most of my RADoor library, and so I needed to test the new
routines on a program. RA-Pong is one of the first results of this labor.
This means a set of new -EXTRA- features besides the new ones!!
* More controle for the sysop.
Adjustment of the users time
LockOut or Hangup on a user
Warn sysop on return (to bbs) option
Smoother statusline
* Warnings when the user gets below the 3 minutes onlinetime
* Better carrier checking, time checking and much more.. (altough you
willnot see all of it..;)
* RAdoor can now easier support other BBS programs. If you're not an RA
sysop, but use some other BBS.. Who know, you may be using the door
in you native environment one of these days..
* RApong (and all my doors from now on) support the RA brackets. This seems
to be liked special by scandinavian people..
* Found that the local screen driver unit didn't honor RA's monomode
flag when using ansi.
- While working on it, I changed the way RA-pong handles the remote cursor
controle a little. RA-pong should play smoother now on lower baudrates.
(It certainly does at 2400!!)
- Added a Bonus Time toggle. If you put the paramter -BONUS:<Time> on the
commandline, the player gets <TIME> minutes extra for every level he
reaches.
- ALL the parameters are optional now! (Of course, if you run multiline, you
should still use the -N:*N and probably the -P:*P) The meaning of the
-T: parameter has changed. RA-pong gets the usertime info from the
exitinfo.bbs now, which can be overruled by the -T: parameter. So if
your users have 60 minutes daily, but you don't want them to hang around
in silly doors like thisone, just add a -T:20 and after 20 minutes the
user is thrown out.. Of course he can start the game again.. But still..;-)
- The helpfile has an other extention now! .NL for the dutch version,
.ENG for the english version... This is especial for dutch users who
switch between languages.. (And maybe a first step to multilangual
doors..)
- The Hall of Fame changed a bit.. Make sure to delete the old one before
running the new version. First of all I made it a little bigger, it has
15 entries now. Second I changed the routines in such a way that a user
can be in the HOF only ONCE! Only his highest score is shown. This
prefents the HOF of getting full of scores of good players trying to
become KING..
- Solved a little bug in the local music. Between two sounds/tunes the
status wasn't reset to default. This resulted in funny noises at the
start of end of sounds.
- Probably I did forget some things.. A lot has changed..
Version 1.6
- A little bug which caused the screen to blank local when the user turned
music on is solved (I think..;)
- Changed the #13 at the end of the music into a #14. Both seem to be used
but my own commpackage uses #14..
- The 'fogg' for the higher levels switched patterens now.
- The F9 key is usable all the time now... (not that that's very usefull but
at least it's consistent with the rest of my programs..)
