GEOPOLITIK
[============================================================================]
My Modifications to GeoPolitik
When I stumbled onto this excellent game, I was surprised to find that it
was created for WWIV bbs only. I have added my own DOORDRIVER support code
for operating with RBBS-PC, QBBS, and PC-BOARD in an effort to allow other
sysops to put up this excellent door.
The documentation says I may distribute my modified version as long as I
give credit to the authors. The documentation also requests that I make a
listing of the modifications that I have made so here they are:
- Converted from Turbo Pascal 3 to Turbo Pascal 5.0
- Added my own DOORDRIVER routines to allow for QBBS, RBBS, and
PCBOARD systems.
- Added Fossil-driver comm ability
- Changed the welcome screen to something I liked a bit more.
- Lowered the resource requirements for building military
devices
- Changed all of the INCREASE-PRODUCTION credits so they add 1
credit per day instead of 1 per 3 months, 6 months, etc.
- Threw in some color in a few places
- Removed rebellion due to lack of resources (it was causing
floating point overflows). Rebellion due to economic instability
is still working.
- Lowered the resource requirements per person from 1 unit per 1000
to 1 unit per 1500.
- Added "/L" local mode.
- Speeded up daily maintenance a bit.
Configuration
-------------
Configure Geopolitiks with "GEOP /C". Most of the options are pretty
straightforward so I wont go into any detail explaining them.
Note: Be sure to run the GEOCREAT program FIRST to initialize the databases.
Local mode
----------
Access local mode with "GEOP /L".
Invoking from RBBS-PC
---------------------
Invoke the door from rbbs-pc with "GEOP <node-num>" where node-num is
your networking node number (usually 1 or 0). If you are running a version
less that 16.1, then this paremeter is not required.
Invoking from PCBoard
---------------------
Here is a copy of the batch file used on VERVAN'S War Board to run this door:
@ECHO OFF
CLS
E:
CD\WARGAMES\GEOPOLTX
CRUTCH D:\PCB\PCBOARD.SYS
GEOP
IF EXIST PCBOARD.SYS DEL PCBOARD.SYS
D:
CD\PCB
BOARD
Note: CRUTCH is a program that converts the PCBoard system file PCBOARD.SYS
from version 14.1 to 12.1 and it is FReq'able from VERVAN'S War Board
at 8:911/201 or 1:207/105 or direct BBS at (714) 989-7596.
