Global War 2.18 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!
