- Global War 2.20 CLI door version, Sysop's note
-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
-
- Global War should run under any BBS environment, as long as
- the BBS software can run normal CLI programs, like 'dir' or
- 'list'.
-
- It won't take long for you to install this game.
-
- Make a DOOR: assignment to the place where all your door games
- are, and create a directory called GlobalWar (DOORS:GlobalWar/).
- Put all files from this archive into that directory.
-
- Edit GW.con configuration file according to your needs.
-
- The BBS software must be able to execute the CLI door with
- arguments. Here is a list of Global War arguments:
-
-
-
- GlobalWar NAME/M,ACCESS/K,PAGELENGTH/K,TIMELEFT/K
-
- A short explanation follows:
- ----------------------------
-
- First, the arguments can be written in *any* order.
- All arguments have default values, in other words you can run
- the program with no arguments at all if you want (the default
- user name would be fetched from the GW.con configuration file).
-
- /M means that there can be a free number of these arguments
- /K means only one of these
-
-
- NAME/M User's name, can be anywhere on the argument line,
- (see example below)
-
- ACCESS/K must be followed by user's access level number.
- this is the way the program knows who have the right
- to enter the sysop's menu.
-
- PAGELENGTH/K how tall the user's screen is. 21 is default.
-
- TIMELEFT/K number of minutes (or hours and minutes) remaining,
- for example:
-
- TIMELEFT 2 2 minutes left
- TIMELEFT 1:32 1 h 32 mins left
- TIMELEFT 108 108 mins left (=1 h 48 mins)
-
-
- Finally, some demonstrations of complete sets of arguments :
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- GlobalWar Janne Paakkonen ACCESS 100 PAGELENGTH 25 TIMELEFT 42
-
- GlobalWar PAGELENGTH 25 Janne TIMELEFT 102
-
- GlobalWar TIMELEFT 2:12 Janne Paakkonen
-
-
-
- How to make GlobalWar run with your BBS software ?
- --------------------------------------------------
-
- The idea is pretty straightforward; write the argument keywords
- just like above and replace the values with the special syntax
- that your BBS software uses.
- Lets say that the BBS passes user's name as '%1' and number of
- remaining minutes as '%13'. Simply construct this line:
-
- GlobalWar %1 TIMELEFT %13
-
- and off you go!
