RATS TimeBank V2.00
===================
Bugs Fixed
----------
- Worked around the bug in some terminal programs which do not interpret
the ANSI Clear To End Of Line command.
- RATSCfg -- Withdraw And Deposit Kbytes fields would only allow you to
enter up to four digits, while the maximum configurable withrawal was
32000 (five digits) (Fixed)
- If a user had time auto-deposited by an external utility or game, and
the user did not exist in RATS, the first autodeposit was not recorded
in the BankBook file. (fixed)
- Fixed some logic problems with KByte deposits.
- Fixed problems with RATPAY and RATS regarding loan payments.
Whats New
---------
RMU.EXE (Nightly Maintenance)
- Optionally deduct users loan payments directly from their BBS account.
RATS.EXE
- Added a Quick Logoff Command. This will deposit (keeping any limits in
mind) all available Time and KBytes, then log the user off.
- The Main Display Screen is now fully configurable. YOU define the ANSI
and ASC screens, and use special control codes to tell RATS where to
put the numbers!
- Added a Statistics Report for Online Use. This shows the number of
users in the Bank, Users Today, Total Deposits, Total Loans, and a
daily synopsis of Bank Transactions.
- RATS and RATPay no longer require running from a batch file. Simply
run the EXE with a full path and it knows where to find its files.
- A Named CoSysop may now access the sysop menu within RATS.
- Option for Sysop and CoSysop to override the bank limits you normally
impose on your users. This will not override events.
- Uses an Index File to speed up Username searches. This is used by RATS
and RATPay.
NOTE... The following may be disabled or enabled by the Sysop!
- Added QuickPick Lottery. You configure the COST of tickets. Tickets
can be bought with Time Or Bytes. If the user buys a QuickPick ticket
with Time, then the prize will be time. You also configure the PRIZE
amount. To win the quickpick, the user picks a 3 digit number, and the
computer also picks a 3 digit number.
- Added Daily Lottery. You configure the ticket price, and the winner is
picked when RMU is run. The winner wins 50% of ALL ticket costs for
that day. If tickets cost 10 minutes, and 100Kbytes, and 5 users buy
tickets with time, and 5 with KBytes, then the winner will win 50% of
50 min and 500K, which is 25 Min and 250K.
- Added Monthly Lottery, similar to the daily lottery.
- Added Option to ROB the Bank. You may configure the COST in Minutes
and or KBytes that are withdrawn from the users account when he tries
to ROB the Bank. You also configure the odds of success, and the
amount the user receives if he/she is successful.
- Added Option To ROB another User. You configure the COST in Minutes
and or KBytes that are withdrawn from the users account when he tries
to ROB another User. You also configure the odds of success. If the
user is successful, then s/he will take 50% of the other users bank
balance, both time and bytes. If he is NOT successful in robbing the
other user, the other user will have the COST added to his account
This way, you don't always get robbed and lose, now you can actually
benefit from people trying to rob you. The Users may disable this if
they do not wish to participate. If a user elects to be excluded, then
that user may NOT rob any other users, and no other users may rob him
or her.
RATSCFG.EXE
- Almost completely rewrote RatsCfg. RATS no longer needs a seperate
configuration file for each node. As you add nodes, you never need to
worry about RATS keeping up. RATS works with up to 99 nodes.
- Added a much better user editor to RATScfg.
- You may now define a password needed to run RATSCfg.
