WIZARD'S ARENA -- RELEASE 1.12
(C) Copyright 1991 by Douglas Summers
OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO REGISTERED SYSOPS
A few command-line options area available to the sainted few who
have registered. All options must be preceeded by a '-', not
a '/' or '\'. They all have a single-character option code
followed by a decimal number.
-A# (where '#' is a decimal digit. 1-9)
-B# (ditto)
These two values allow you to determine the rate at which
action-points are accrued.
Every creature gets a number of AP equal to its Agility --
up to 15. Beyond that point, they accrue according to
a function you can define. The number of points a
creature has above 15 is multiplied by the action-
point multiplier and then divided by the action-point
divisor. The default values are 1 (for the APM) and 2
(for the APD), which corresponds to '-A2 -B1'.
-T### allows you to set the maximum time (per day) that a player can
stay in the game. For the unregistered sysops, that number is
equal to the players' total remaining time on the BBS. For
registered sysops, it is the lower of that value and the value
provided with this option. (Multiple entrances to the door will
NOT allow the player more time -- it adds up)
-W### sets the length of the week, in days. Weapons, items and
monsters are dropped around the board each week. Setting this
number higher will slow down the rate of wandering monsters;
setting it lower will make the game more exciting.
-C### sets the absentee-cutoff value: the number of daily cycles
that a person can be completely inactive before the 'Dark Ones'
get him. The default is 14.
-P### determines how many creatures/items are dropped during the
weekly cleanup. Essentially, this represents the chance of
an item occupying a particualr space. (The default is
500 -- meaning 1 out of every 500 spaces will be dropped into
during weekly cleanup.) Setting this number high will
lower the number of wandering comsters. Setting it low will
increase the number -- but be careful. Too low a setting will
really clog up the game!
These options allow you to seperate your subscribers from the rest of
the pack, if your batch files are set up cleverly enough.
