Running YANKEES & RED NECKS under WC4.x Here is an example command line for YANKEES & RED NECKS under WILDCAT 4.x EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------------------------------- @ECHO OFF CD\WILDCAT\DOORS\YANKRED YANKRED /F=C:\WILDCAT\WCWORK\NODE1\DOOR.SYS COPY SCORES.ANS C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.SCR COPY SCORES.ASC C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.BBS COPY TKILLS.ANS C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.SCR COPY TKILLS.ASC C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.BBS --------------------------------------------------- where xx is your bulletin number. If you choose not to run YANKRED with EMS, then here is an example for no EMS. EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------------------------------- @ECHO OFF CD\WILDCAT\DOORS\YANKRED YANKRED /NOEMS /F=C:\WILDCAT\WCWORK\NODE1\DOOR.SYS COPY SCORES.ANS C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.SCR COPY SCORES.ASC C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.BBS COPY TKILLS.ANS C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.SCR COPY TKILLS.ASC C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.BBS --------------------------------------------------- *NOTE* If you choose to use the /NOEMS make sure it's the very first thing you add after YANKRED on the command line! See EXAMPLE 2 Using a FOSSIL driver with YANKRED under WILDCAT 4.x Some SysOps wish to use a fossil driver with Yankees & Red Necks. I use fossil drivers on some of my door games, here is an example of using BNU with YANKRED & WILDCAT 4.x --------------------------------------------------- @ECHO OFF CD\WILDCAT\DOORS\YANKRED BNU /L:0=57600 YANKRED /F=C:\WILDCAT\WCWORK\NODE1\DOOR.SYS COPY SCORES.ANS C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.SCR COPY SCORES.ASC C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.BBS COPY TKILLS.ANS C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.SCR COPY TKILLS.ASC C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.BBS BNU /U --------------------------------------------------- The example above for BNU is telling it to use COM1 with a LOCKED BAUD RATE at 57600. And the last line BNU /U is telling BNU to unload from memory, this command is a must, or ............. well, you should no! If you have you WILDCAT locked at 57600 on COM1, then you can use the above example. *NOTE* BNU supports locked rates up to 57600 For further setup on BNU, you'll need to read the docs... Using ADF fossil driver ADF is a much better fossil driver (I think so) to use if choosing a fossil driver. Here is the command line for ADF on COM1 with a locked rate of 57600 ---------------------------------------------------- @ECHO OFF CD\WILDCAT\DOORS\YANKRED ADF 0 3F8 4 57600 2048 1024 8 YANKRED /F=C:\WILDCAT\WCWORK\NODE1\DOOR.SYS COPY SCORES.ANS C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.SCR COPY SCORES.ASC C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.BBS COPY TKILLS.ANS C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.SCR COPY TKILLS.ASC C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULLxx.BBS ADF UNLOAD ---------------------------------------------------- The example above for ADF is telling it to use COM1 with the address at 3F8 and IRQ 4 with a locked rate at 57600, 2048 receive buffer, 1024 transmit buffer and a FIFO trigger level of 8. And the last line ADF UNLOAD is a must! This tells ADF to unload from memory... *NOTE* ADF does support locking up to 115200 For further setup on ADF, you'll need to read the docs... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setting up a .BAT or .RUN file for the game! You'll need to make up a DOORx.BAT or DOORx.RUN to run the game under. Where x is your door number ie: DOOR1.BAT or DOOR1.RUN If you make this a .BAT file, then you'll place it into the wildcat home directory. If you make this a .RUN file, then you'll place it into the wildcat node directory. After you have made up the DOORx.BAT or .RUN, you'll need to go into makewild to set the door bat file up. Run Makewild from the home directory, and from the Makewild Main Menu go down and select Doors Hit enter there on the Doors and the Door Menu will pull down. Next: Hit the INS key, this will ask you to clear door access for profile and conf first? Just hit the enter key from there and you'll be in the Edit Door Menu. Now you should be on the Door description field. This is where you'll put the door game name Yankees & Red Necks After you have done that, hit the enter key, this will take you down to the next field called Door batch file. This is where you'll put the DOORx file at, no extension. IE: DOOR1 You can leave the Door Display file blank if you wish. The next 4 fields are self explanitory. Door multiuser : N <---- Set to Y if you plan on Multi-Nodes Small DOOR.SYS : N <---- Leave this one at N Use alias name : N Terminate on door : N Ok, now you'll hit the F3 key to setup your profiles for access to the door, then after you have done that, hit the F4 key for your conference access. Next: Hit the F10 key to save all your changes and you should be ready to rock and role with Yankees & Red Necks... I use a DOOR6.RUN file for my setup, and the .RUN file is located in my C:\WILDCAT\WCWORK\NODE1 directory. Here is what it my DOOR6.RUN looks like: @ECHO OFF CD\WILDCAT\DOORS\YANKRED YANKRED /F=C:\WILDCAT\WCWORK\NODE1\DOOR.SYS COPY SCORES.ANS C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL90.SCR COPY SCORES.ASC C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL90.BBS COPY TKILLS.ANS C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL91.SCR COPY TKILLS.ASC C:\WILDCAT\BULL\BULL91.BBS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can be reached at The Jurassic Park BBS! 614-353-0600 If you wish more help on setting YANKRED up with WILDCAT 4.x Thanks....
