- RIP in RA
- July 20,1993
-
-
- This text file describes how I have implemented RIP in
- my BBS setup of RA. It is not the only or the best way to
- implement it, just a way.
-
- Create two subdirectories off of the main RA directory.
- \RA\RIPTXT to hold the text files displayed
- \RA\RIPMNU to hold the menus
-
- Copy the ENGLISH.RAL file to RIP.RAL
-
- Setup the RIP protocol as a Language in RACONFIG as
- follows:
-
- Name RIP
- Available Yes
- Language text
- Menu path C:\RA\RIPMNU
- Text path C:\RA\RIPTXT
- Ques C:\RA\RIPTXT
- Filename C:\RA\RIP.RAL
-
-
- Now create your various scenes with a RIP Drawing
- program of your choice. I use RIPaint by TeleGrafixs
-
- RIPaint creates a file with an extension of .RIP.
-
- Copy the newly created scenes to the \RA\RIPTXT
- directory changing the extension to .ANS
-
- Edit the new file with your favorite text editor and
- place an ASCII 5 () character or a club symbol as the
- first character of the first line. This can be done by
- holding down the Alt key pressing the numeric keypad 5
- and releasing
-
- The RIP Menus will need to be changed to display the
- various new ANS files as any other graphical menu. Use
- the type 40 option, Display ANS with hot keys active.
-
- It is a few extra steps to display the RIP scenes but
- well worth the effort. Your users will love it!
