┌│ SCREAM AT THE SYSOP v2.0 │┐

What SCREAM is:
Scream is just a program made in Maximus MECCA command
Compiler tokens, which allows the USER to pick a song to
Play to the SysOp in order to get his attention. The user
Has over 100 songs to choose from, and you can always add
more if you understand MECCA.
Installation:
This is a VERY VERY simple thing to install into a Maximus
CBCS 1.02/2.00 system. All you basically have to do is
edit the MENUS.CTL file, and add a line like this...
Display_File Misc\Scream1.bbs Disgrace "Scream at SysOp"
LIST OF FILES:
SCREAM1.BBS \ This is the Main Menu of SCREAM, it is where the user gets
SCREAM1.MEC / to pick which menu of songs to use. Compiled and Uncompiled
versions.
CHOICE1.ANS \
CHOICE2.ANS | The ANSI Files for this program, made with TheDraw 4.01.
CHOICE3.ANS /
CHOICE1.MEC \
CHOICE2.MEC | Uncompiled MECCA Files, use MECCA.EXE to Compile.
CHOICE3.MEC /
CHOICE1.BBS \
CHOICE2.BBS | Compiled version of Above .MEC files, use ACCEM to uncompile.
CHOICE3.BBS /
1.MEC \ These are the option lines, which you have to add to one of
2.MEC | the CHOICE#.MEC files if you add new songs. More about this
3.MEC / later in this document.
SCREAM.DOC | Your reading it right now!
TUNES.BBS | This is where the tunes are stored. Place this file in your
MAX Dir, because that's where MECCA will look for it.
HELPFILE.MEC \ File Displayed it "4" is hit from the Scream Main Menu.
HELPFILE.BBS / it's just instructions for users. Edit this for your own
personal needs.
If you would like to add more songs, you will have to edit the CHOICE#.ANS
files first with an ANSI Animation program such as TheDraw. Save the new
ansi file, and use ANSI2MEC.EXE which comes with Max to change the ANSI
file to a .MEC file. Then, take the #.MEC files, which matches that of
the CHOICE#.MEC file (E.g. CHOICE1.MEC goes with 1.MEC, CHOICE2.MEC goes
with 2.MEC, CHOICE3.MEC goes with 3.MEC), and type in a line like this...
COPY CHOICE#.MEC+#.MEC (E.g. COPY CHOICE1.MEC+1.MEC)
and it will add the #.MEC file to the bottom of CHOICE#.MEC.
The #.MEC files are the files which actually make Maximus/Mecca
play on of the songs when a certain key is pressed. Without them
this whole program is just a bunch of ANSI/MECCA screens.
Here is just one small hint to make these files look a little better
or perhaps work better...
1. After Changing one of the CHOICE#.ANS files into a .MEC file with
ANSI2MEC.EXE, load it into your favorite text editor and go to the
bottom of the page. You will often find a line something like...
[gray][repeatseq 2 left 255]
REMOVE THIS LINE, as it will slow the whole file down, and sometime
cause it to crash.
If you have any problems, or suggestions to make this program better
Please call my BBS at (604) 726-2372, or Netmail me, or Send a message
in the FIDO Muffin Echo. My Fido node is 1:351/711. Thanx!
