Greetings from the N.U.G.I. ConSorTium 'HomeBrew' BBS!
Version 5.05 is out!
1. Version 5.05 is mainly a bug fix version.
2. Fixed the opening quote in Chat mode.
3. The timer was not functioning correctly. Was letting users play for
hours! The sysops loved me for this! It's working well now....
4. The warp engines on the satellites were doing strange things to the supply
lists. All is under control.
5. The Death Probe option was not coming up for Registered sysops! This is
now functioning properly.
6. Fixed a few things in the Player Editor. I realize this is a ruff program
But I never intended to send it out. It was mainly for my use in testing.
I will make it more user friendly before the winter is out....
7. I would like to thank Kim Newman and David Murphy a couple of great sysops
who have their &^%$ together! They helped me out more in a few weeks of
having Terra on their BBS than 15 beta test sights!
8. This is a big thanks for nothing to all you beta test sights that couldn't
wait to put Terra through the paces!
Version 5.00 is here (and a long time coming!)
1. Fixed a few bugs that some of you SysOps sent in. The biggest one being
the launching of all Robot Transports when one was launched. Found a cute
little bug in the colony count/subtract.
2. This Version of Terra is ShareWare! Price $20.00
3. Added support for Multinode/38400 locked ports.
4. Terra-Firma is now MultiTasker aware!
5. Terra will auto detect fossil driver or run internal comm routine!
6. Avatar support.
7. Updated Install and Cycle programs.
8. Wrote a small Terra Hint Booklet which will be coming out in an upcoming
issue of DoorNet Magazine. (possibly not, as I pissed off Steve Lin)
9. Can now move from sector to sector just by entering the sector number.
10. NO more quiting and cheating by putting all your credits in the bank
then killing yourself and signing back in to 50000 more credits!
Anyone can presently call my Support BBS 413-445-7519 and
register Terra-Firma while online with a visa, master charge,
discover or american express credit card. This registration will work
for all my door games which include WhoDunit, Enquirer and the Busted
Door. I have a new Door coming out soon. This will also be included.
Once you register any one of my games the Registration number will
work for all. So in fact it is like getting 4 doors for the
price of one! A player Editor for Terra-Firma will also be made
available on my BBS to all Registered users.
A list of my current Door Games will be posted at the end of this
document. All new users have a full 90 minutes of DownLoad time.
All files are FREQ. from 1:321/227 9600 v32/v42b or HST speeds from
1:321/210

Version 4.01 is here with the short awaited Death Probe!
1. The Death probe can search a 25 X 25 sector area in 12 hours. During this
time it has enough destructive energy to destroy 25 colonies, 25 sector
protectors, 5 satellites and 5 colony ships. It's sweep through the
Universe is completely recorded in the News option from the Computer menu.
At this time there is no defense against the Death Probe. Starbases are
the only place you can purchase a Death probe if you have 1 million
credits! The Death Probe will not destroy anything that belongs to the
Player who launched it.
2. Added a Warp Drive for your Satellites. The Warp Drive enables you to
move your Satellite to any other sector in the universe providing it
does not have another Satellite in orbit. It also must have a planet
to put the satellite in orbit around. Warp Drives can be purchased only
at a Starbase.
3. Did lots of cleaning up. Some of the menus will look different. Some of
the screens will be easier to read. I think you will enjoy it....
4. The Registered key you recieve For the price of $20.00 will
work for all N.U.G.I. door software (Who-Dunit/Enquirer/BUSTED!)
so it's 4 for the price of 1. All future versions and NEW programs
from N.U.G.I. will work with this registered key. A great deal!
5. Last but least. The Death Probe option will not operate unless Terra-
Firma is REGISTERED. This is a thanks to all the great SysOps out there
who have registered Terra-Firma. It also helps me feel better about the
systems out there which have been running Terra-Firma but could care
less about paying. I have been improving and backing up my Door SoftWare
for almost three years and will continue to do so in the future.
Version 3.01 has a three new upgrades I hope you will enjoy.
1. No more inputing a sector with those stinking commas!
From the main menu you can just enter "M" then the sector number you
wish to go to and your off! Providing you have the fuel <GRIN>.
This option was brought to my attention by Al Grundy of the Grundy BBS
in South Carolina (803)-776-0323 <With Exclusive Married With Children
Giffs!> Who wishes my move routine was more like Tradewars! Well it's
closer now.
2. Robot Transports which you can buy and dock at your Satellite. They can
be programmed to go back and forth to the nearest starbase and transport
back whatever you wish to your Satellite. They can move 12 times in a
24 hour period. This is to help you build up your Satellites faster.
3. Sector Probes (Different from AREA Probes) will now look into each
sector of a direction you choose and will report back everything they
find in the sector to include: How many planets and of what level and
type. The type of star. Satellites and other players to include other
players colonies. Thanks go out to Roann Vecchia and Michael Richardson
for reminding me of just how large a 10000 sector Universe is and how
hard it can be to find other players.
Any Ideas are welcome!! I love suggestions!
