NECKTI V 1.2 Copyright 1992 Douglas DeLonay
NECKTI is a shareware product. If you try it out and plan on using it a
registration fee is required. For more information on registration go to the
end of the file.
Though I took care to see that this software is error free I can not be
responsible for any damage that you believe is caused by your use of this
software. All respnsibility lies with you the user of this product.
NECKTI is a hangman type door. It is differant than all the rest I've
seen in that it has it's own dictionairy, the players can have the computer
pick a word from the dictionairy for them, or pick one themselves. If the user
picks one him/her self they will have to keep entering words till they pick one
thats in the dictionairy. They will get the option to have words that aren't in
the dictionairy entered in the new word dictionairy, which can be merged with
the verified word dictionairy or edited by using the utility that comes with
the registered version.
Also you can change the look of the hangman with your favorite ANSI editor if
the default one isn't to your liking. There's eleven files for the hangman
display.
rightfot.ans last file to be displayed. shows whole body.
Make this one first then edit this one to work
down through the rest.
leftfoot.ans whole body minus right foot.
rightleg.ans leftfoot.ans minus the left foot.
leftleg.ans rightleg.ans minus the right leg.
rghthand.ans leftleg.ans minus the left leg.
lefthand.ans rghthand.ans minus the right hand.
rightarm.ans lefthand.ans minus the left hand.
leftarm.ans rightarm.ans minus the right arm.
body.ans leftarm.ans minus the left arm.
neck.ans body.ans minus the body.
head.ans neck.ans minus the neck.
noose.ans just the noose.
So it is fairly simple. just start with the top one in the above list and
subject a part and rename the file along each step. Also remember to keep
output length restricted to the left 40 colomns, and top 23 rows.
As for the configuration file it can be used to control how long inactive
users are kept in the users list. How long inactive games are kept in the game
file. How many times a user can challenge the computer per turn. users can gain
points to their total points score by playing against the computor. You can
also determine how many words each player has to guess to constitute a game. So
you determine how long each game will take to complete. Just make a file called
NECKTI.CFG
\rybbs\curruser.bbs ;path to curruser.bbs or dorinfo1.def
3 ;number of turns per game
7 ;number of days to keep inactive games
1 ;number of days to keep inactive users
2 ;times a user can challenge computer
2 ;total games a player be involved in

NECKTI automatically looks for NECKTI.CFG when it is called, so make sure
you don't change the name of the file. To call neckti first make sure all the
NECKTI files are in the same directory, and call NECKTI from that directory.
Also you need to have a ANSI.SYS driver loaded to use it.
i.e.
NECKTI.BAT
@echo off
cd\rybbs\doors\neckti
neckti
cd\rybbs
It's that easy. Of coarse if you don't use RyBBS or RA you should have no
problem finding a door converter to make either one for you. just make sure you
run the converter and have the correct door file placed were your NECKTI.CFG
file says it will be.
You may also want to try my last caller lister. It is very versatile. can
add comments, show user time on in military or 24 hour format, plus much more.
You can always get a hold of the latest version on my BBS

Registration is $20 U.S. currency. For this you will get the most recent
version of the program including an updated word file with many more words in
it. The NECKUTIL program which will allow you to verify words in the newword
file as correct before merging them to the main word file. Of coarse you'll
need to register to be able to merge the 2 files also. It will also allow you
to edit players stats such as points, games in etc. or start a new game. To
do so in unregistered version just delete the neck*.dat files. send in the
form below to register.
