* 3D Play Manager * v1.2 Copyright (c) Walter Feller 1992
ANoTHeR BBS - 619-244-3675 - N81, 300-2400, 24 Hrs,..
A 3 Dollar Utility
(For WildCat 3.x Systems)
Introduction;
Play Manager will let a caller choose all the doors a caller
wants to play and, then play them in the selected order with-
out returning to the door menu after each door is finished.
Play Manager, when properly setup will,..
Use the existing DOORS.BBS file to display
doors to the caller
Utilize existing Door##.Bat files
Update the doors played to an activity log
Check to make sure Play Manager does not
call itself (prevents looping)
Filter WC @CODES@ from the first line of
the DOORS.BBS file
Play Manager does not,..
Work on ports other than COM1 or COM2
Work on Door##.RUN files
Have color
Let a caller exit Play Manager until all the doors
are played
Most of the "nots" will be corrected in future versions.
Operation;
When Play Manager is executed, it will display
the DOORS.BBS (or any other) file to the caller
just as if they were looking at the regular WC
door menu.
The caller then selects the doors they wish to
play in one of the following formats;
1,2,3,10,12
1 2 3 10 12
1/2/3/10/12
1\2\3\10\12
1-2-3-10-12
1.2.3.10.12
Play Manager will then go through and execute each
door in the listed order.
As each door is entered, Play Manager will append
the time and door number to an activity log.
When all of the doors selected have been played,
Play Manager will return to the DOOR menu screen.
Setup
Copy the 3DPM##.EXE either somewhere on your
command path or in the directory it is to be ran
from. I place my copy on my path.
Play Manager requires both a 3DPM.CFG file and of
course a Door##.Bat file to operate.
3DPM.CFG (configuration file)
00000000000 <--- Key Number (may be left blank)
ANoTHeR BBS <--- Name of BBS

C:\WC30\DISP\DOORS.BBS <--- Path/name of door display file

DOOR1 <--- Name of DOOR##.BAT that
contains Play Manager
(prevents recursion)
DOOR##.BAT (3DPM batch file)
3DPM12 3DPM.CFG <--- Command line for Play Manager
The .CFG file can be named anything, it can even
have a path imbedded
Disclaimer,
I built this program the best I could and tested it
on my WildCat 3.x single node system and it works
great for me. However, you use this program at your
own risk and are ultimately responsible for any dam-
ages you feel it may have incurred on your system.
Registration,
At this time, registration brings no benefit other
than the satisfaction of knowing you provided a little
encouragement to a shareware author. Hopefully this
will change in the near future. Until then feel free
to send me a registration donation of $2.95 or more
to keep your name on file and buy me a couple Pepsi's.
Send your check or money order to,.
