Tri-Dice is a BBS Door Game. It may be run successfully on
Wildcat, GAP, RBBS, QBBS, and PCBoard 14 without any conversion
utility and may be run on any number of BBS types by using
a conversion utility. The rules of play are simple. Your Users
will be presented with three dice, they must then decide if the
dice coming up will be higer or lower than the dice already
displayed. If they get 1 out of 3, then no money is won or lost.
2 out of 3 right, brings a return of 3 times the original bet.
All 3 right wins 5 times the original bet. The only way a player
can lose is if he loses all three rolls. Ties do NOT go to the
player but instead count as a loss. The maximum bet allowed is
$5000, however be prepared for some very high scores. For the
final bet the Player must bet at least half of his/her current
score. Scores reset at the end of each month with a monthly Champ
being carried over and displayed.

either in the door directory or in your DOS path.
Create a .CFG file reflecting your paths and the BBS type you are
using and then call TRI2 via batch file. Format for and examples
for TRI.CFG are provided below. If you have problems settng up
the .CFG file, download AutoCfg2.ZIP from BRE which will create
your .CFG files.

Once the .CFG file is created, TRI-DICE would be called via a
batch file. An example for Wildcat is included below.
-= Door1.BAT =-
cd \doors\tri
tri2 tri.cfg
cd \wildcat
cat; Don't use if Shelling in WC3.0
To try the Door out in Local mode type TRI2 LOCAL. If run from
this mode even if Registered those features will not be available
since the .CFG file is NOT read in LOCAL mode.
-= Troubleshooting =-
(1) The most common problem in getting Tri-Dice to run through the
BBS mode lies in the .CFG file. If you get line ? error at
XX:XX in TRI-Module the problem lies in your .CFG file.
(2) Door drops carrier. The Brun40.Exe you are using is not patched
properly. Call BRE for a copy that WORKS.
-= Registered Syops =-
If you have previously registered Tri-Dice contact BRE and leave
E-Mail to Ken Kelley with the Sysop Name and BBS Name. Both should
match the original registration but exceptions can possibly be made.
Please be careful with spelling, capitalization, etc. since the
Registration Code is genereated based on this information. You can
also mail the appropriate *.REG form to the address below. A
Registration Code will be created for you which will be available
for download from BRE or mailed. Please indicate in your original
message which you desire. The only charge is if you want the latest
version on disk then the $5.00 S&H applies.
-= Registration =-
If you continue to run this door longer than 30 days you are
required to Register it.
What are the benefits of Registration?
You will receive a Registration Code that will unlock the following
features not available in the UnRegistered version:
1. Registered to Your BBS Name displayed instead of UNREGISTERED.
2. The Registered version allows the Sysop to set the number of
times per day the door may be entered. The UnRegistered version
is restricted to one play per day of 25 turns.
3. The Registered version creates an ASCii and ANSi bulletin of
player rankings that may be displayed by the BBS. It also
shows who last month's Champion was and his/her score.
4. Free upgrades to future versions providing there are any. You
may have to download a new Registration Code from BRE.
