Super Rig! V3.2
Setup for Multi-Node Super Rig! configurations.
An additional switch setting can now be added to the command line with the
particular Node that is calling up the game. This is to be placed after
the command line switch for the particular BBS that is using the game.
An example command line below is set for a WildCat BBS on Node #1;
SUPERIG /WC /NODE1
The following additional switch will cause the game to read in a file in
the current game directory called SUPERIG1.CFG instead of the normal BBS
configuration file called SUPERIG.CFG. You may edit these files directly
in an ASCII editor or use the NODESET.EXE file and fill in the prompts to
create them.
Up to 4 Nodes can have separate SUPERIGx.CFG (where x is the NODE number)
in the current game directory, and in this file you can point to the NODE
directory's caller file. Below is a sample BATCHFILE that might call the
game from NODE 2 for instance;
SUPERIG2.BAT
CD DOOR#3
SUPERIG /WC /NODE2
ECHO Game finished, returning to BBS
CD BBS
CAT
EXIT
The NODEx (where x is the NODE number) switch will instruct SUPERIG.EXE
to read a different game .CFG file when its envoked. Note the complete
PATH to the caller file for the particular Node.
Example, the SUPERIG2.CFG might contain the following data;
Starvin' Marv's
Marvin
Davis
C:\BBS\NODE2\CALLINFO.BBS
C:\BULLETS\BULL#22.BBS
C:\BULLETS\BULL#22.SCR
NO
NO
At present, four 'nodes' and COMM ports are supported (ie. COM1-4)
They are normally assigned to their respective COMM ports, NODE1 to COM1
and NODE2 to COM2. Although, the game will look into the caller file that
is specified in the BBS caller file listed in the SUPERIGx.CFG file, and
the game will use the COM port specified for that caller.
Under the different 'node' configuration files, you could have two different
scoreboard bulletins created, one for each node - but the game will only have
one scoreboard file in both ANSI and ASC format in its own door directory
at the completion of a successful run by a player. These are created every
time on a good run even if the .CFG file lists an N/A for BBS bulletin msg
creation.
