If you'd like to see Inter-BBS BRE on your system, but are not a member of
Fido (or another) Net, then you may wish to try this out:
BRE supports connecting 2 (or more with lots of work) games into an "Inter-BBS"
Game so your players can play on both games and get daily returns from each
BBS allowing your players to, in essence, play 2 empires out of a total 50.
If you'd like to do this, set up two BRE directories (examples use C:\BRE\1 and
C:\BRE\2) and set up PLANDATA.BBS files like this: (see PLANDATA.SAM for
details)
C:\BRE\1\PLANDATA.BBS: C:\BRE\2\PLANDATA.BBS:
Mehul Patel Mehul Patel
The Solar Realm #1 The Solar Realm #2
1/1 1/2
C:\BRE\1\FILES C:\BRE\2\FILES
C:\BRE\NETMAIL C:\BRE\NETMAIL
1 1
And Create a Nodelist called BRNODES.DAT in both BRE directories such as:
(See NODEFORM.INF for details)
-------------------------------Cut Here----------------------------------
1
The Solar Realm #1
1/1
Houston
TX
USA
2
The Solar Realm #2
1/2
Houston
TX
USA
-----------------------------End Cut Here--------------------------------
Then, create C:\BRE\1\FILES, C:\BRE\2\FILES, and C:\BRE\NETMAIL directories
as replacements for the Fidonet Mailer's directories. BRE will create two
more directories, C:\BRE\1\OUTBOUND and C:\BRE\2\OUTBOUND itself. BRE can
be run as a normal game from the BBS (have 2 games available - 1 for each
"BBS"). In your BBS's daily Maintainence, add the following:
--------Cut Here-------
C:
CD \BRE
CD 1
BRE PLANETARY
CD ..\2
BRE PLANETARY
CD ..\1
COPY OUTBOUND\*.* ..\2\FILES } Can be replaced with MOVE
DEL OUTBOUND\0*.* } if you have it
CD ..\2
COPY OUTBOUND\*.* ..\1\FILES
DEL OUTBOUND\0*.*
CD ..
DEL NETMAIL\*.MSG
-------Cut Here--------
That process is equivalent to sending stuff to and receiving stuff from
another BBS and processing it. If you would like a faster game (ie, forces
return the next day), run the above 3 times. 2 times will speed it up but
not to instant returns. You can determine how quickly you would like your
game to go inter-game wise.
For more than 2 BBS's, the process is a little bit different. (Up to 9 BBSs)
If you have 4DOS, do as above for the various Game setups, and add them all
to the BRNODES.DAT, but change your daily maintainence to the following:
-------Cut Here-------
CDD C:\BRE
FOR %B IN (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) DO (CDD C:\BRE\%B\OUTBOUND^FOR %A IN (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) DO MOVE xxxB0%B0%A.* C:\BRE\%A\FILES)
CDD C:\BRE
-------Cut Here-------
For this to work, all of your sub-directories MUST be named 1 2 3 4 etc.
Replace the xxx with the League number (3 digits, ie "004") of your game.
