MINEZONE (C)1992 by Geoffrey Todd Carlton
Here are the "Simple Start Up" docs. Minezone comes with all the files you
need, so all you need to do is set it up and run it.
Disclaimer: MineZone is a BBS door game. I run it. My Beta Sites run it.
My friends run it. It works on all of our systems when we run it properly.
If it hasn't been tampered with, and if you set it up right, it SHOULD
run fine on your system too. If it does not run properly on your system,
don't run it. If it runs fine on your system for 30 days or more, you
need to mail me US $10 and I will send you a registration code to make it
run even better! This is not an option. If at the end of 30 days you are
still running it and refuse to register it, you must like it, and are
slime for not paying for the quality software you use. Not to mention,
you'll be missing out on all the free updates. If you honestly cannot afford
to register the door, I sugggest you try my door called DOORTRAK. It shows
your callers which doors are used the most often (and are therefore the
"best" doors) and asks them for a contribution to help support their favorite
doors. (Make sure to register DOORTRAK within 30 days, too!)
Setup:
Minezone uses the CALLINFO.BBS file that goes with WildCat! BBS systems.
If your BBS system doesn't generate a CALLINFO.BBS file, I recommend you
find a "Door Converter" program.
To Play MINEZONE, you'll need a "patched" version of BRUN45.EXE which is
a "run-time" module for Microsoft QuickBasic V4.5. If you use a BRUN45.EXE
that is not "patched", the game will play fine, until the caller exits
the door, at which time the carrier will be dropped and the caller will
get cut off. (This is a sure sign that you need a different BRUN45.EXE!)
Use a text editor to write MINEZONE.CFG. Here's the format:
The High PINNACLE
TODD
CARLTON
D:\MINEZONE\CALLINFO.BBS
NO
10
0000000000
Any Information entered After Line 7 Is Ignored.
Here Is How To Set Up MINEZONE.CFG
LINE 1: NAME OF BBS
LINE 2: SYSOP FIRST NAME
LINE 3: SYSOP LAST NAME
LINE 4: FULL PATH TO CALLINFO.BBS INCLUDING FILE NAME
LINE 5: LOCKED BAUD RATE OR NO FOR NONE ("NO" MUST BE IN CAPITAL LETTERS)
LINE 6: *NUMBER OF LIVES PER DAY PLAYERS START WITH
LINE 7: *REGISTRATION CODE
*NOTE PLAYERS WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED TO START WITH 4 LIVES NO MATTER WHAT
THIS VALUE IS SET TO UNLESS THERE IS A VALID REGISTRATION CODE ON LINE 7
To run the game in local mode, without booting up the BBS, type:
MINEZONE LOCAL
If you like to door, please print the file MINEZONE.REG and send it along
with $10 to me. I'll send you a registration code now and FREE UPDATES
later! For HELP actually playing the game, select "H" for help while in
the game. ENJOY!
