- ------------------------------------1.0--------------------------------------
- 1.0 - Complete New World
- This is a package set up for sysops that do not have the time
- to install many IGMs, and to keep checking for overwritting other
- IGMs. It is an easy way to have most of the GOOD IGMs quickly installed.
-
- >>>>>> YOU MUST HAVE LORD2 ALREADY! <<<<<<<<
- >>>> JUST COPY OVER ALL YOUR LORD2 FILES. <<<
-
- Get the latest version LoRD2 v1.02 (L2102.ZIP)
- http://lord.lordlegacy.org/l2102.zip
- http://greenmachinebbs.com/lord2/files/l2102.zip
-
- There are 137 external IGMS included in this version, PLUS
- many other IGMs I have made myself, which have not been
- released individualy yet (only available in CNW)
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 1.1 - What is it
- A compilation of the best IGMs for LoRD2: New World. Hence the name
- "Complete". Also includes many special features which can not be
- found for the normal New World. (see 3.2 and 3.3)
-
- In other terms, this is also a "Pre-installed IGMs Package".
-
- CNW is FREEWARE, and only FREEWARE IGMs will be accepted in CNW.
- LoRD2 is NOT FREEWARE, even though in my opinion it should be. :)
- Visit www.gameport.com for details.
-
- CNW is not LoRD2, its an addition of lord2, you will need a registered
- copy of LoRD2 to play CNW fully. $15 USD at www.gameport.com.
-
- CNW has fixed countles bugs from the IGMS which authors have not fixed,
- or will not fix.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 1.2 - Who needs it
- I would say EVERY SysOp who wants LoRD2: New World on their system should
- have CNW.
-
- It has been made very easy to setup and maintain, that every lazy SysOp
- out there that does not want to have to worry about it, will NOT have to
- worry about it. :)
-
- Any SysOp who wishes to have many IGMs, but does NOT want to spend the
- many HOURS of finding good IGMs, installing them, then testing them to
- see if they will work properly with other IGMs that they have installed.
- CNW is already setup to handle many IGMs already installed.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 1.3 - Paths & Files
- Description of some files and ALL directories in this version:
-
- / = main lord2 files, REF and REC files. (removing REC's slowly)
- /RESET.BAT = run this when you need to reset the game.
- /UPDATE.BAT = run this to update to latest version of CNW
- /INSTALL.BAT= Install a new CNW game.
- /MAIL/ = lord2 mail files
- /IGM/ = *.IGM files are here, so you can get quick info on any IGM.
- /NPC = NPC *.IDF directory
- /regconf/ = registry config files *REMOVED* (should no longer exist)
- /regdata/ = registry data files *REMOVED* (should no longer exist)
- /docs/ = all the document files related to lord2 and the IGMs.
- /fonts/ = going to store the fonts here for various terms and such.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 1.4 - Title Screen
- Humm, its cool isn't it? :)
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

-
- ------------------------------------2.0--------------------------------------
- 2.0 - Installation
- Complete New World has been made to be extremely easy to install. You
- should not have any difficulties what so ever. :) In any case, you do
- have problems, simply contact me (see 1.5)
-
- You need a copy of the FULL CNW package plus any latest small UPDATE
- packages which may be available. If so, please run the earliest
- INSTALL.BAT, then the UPGRADE.BAT if you are upgrading a sub version number
- like 136.1 or something.
-
- You DO NOT need to download every small update package. Every update
- package i create supports all the previous updates.
-
- So make sure you have eg.
- CNW-1361.ZIP and CNW-1363.ZIP, no need for cnw-1362.zip in this situation.
-
- An easy way to see if its a FULL or an UPGRADE is the size, usualy the
- FULL is more than 2.2megs
- UPGRADE is less than 1 meg
-
- Complete New World v137.0+ REQUIRES LoRD2 v1.02.
-
- If installing a FULL version like v137.0, I recomend you do a complete
- new install, not overtop of the old version of CNW. There are lots of
- files in old CNW that are no longer needed and just takes up space.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 2.1 - Fresh New Game
- If you have just installed LORD2 original game, then it'll be easier than
- other ways of installing.
-
- Make sure you have LoRD2 v1.02 installed before you install CNW.
-
- To install a fresh copy of CNW, just run INSTALL.BAT
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 2.2 - Restart Game (Reset)
- It is recommended that you do restart a fresh new game if you have not had
- CNW installed previously.
- -run RESET.BAT (see 2.5 for details)
- -run L2CFG.EXE --> RESET GAME
- -run lord2.bat (no switches) (see 2.6)
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 2.3 - Keep Game
- If you wish to keep the same game running, and have not had CNW previously
- installed, it is possible to do, but may cause confusion and players stuck
- in locations that do not exist.
-
- If installing a FULL version like v137.0, I recomend you do a complete
- new install, not overtop of the old one. There are lots of files in old
- CNW that are no longer needed and just takes up space.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 2.4 - Upgrade CNW Game
-
- To upgrade from a previous version of CNW, run UPGRADE.BAT
-
- This will not automaticly RESET your game, but, it is recomended to run
- RESET.BAT after upgrading.
-
- Make sure you edit/check the RULES.REF for the games default settings,
- everytime you upgrade CNW, this file is overwriten, because of changes
- within this file are needed for most upgrades.
-
- Upgrading from v136.* to v137.0 should be a complete new INSTALL, there
- are lots of files no longer needed from the old CNW version, and will
- take up space.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 2.5 - RESET.BAT
- This is a batch file which I spent a long time verifing that ALL the
- data files used in as many IGMs as I could get my hands on, datafiles
- were being deleted properly. It also includes some data files of IGMs
- which are not in CNW.
-
- Run this batch file when ever you want to reset the game. Thats it for
- a reset. ;)
-
- You also need to reset the game via L2CFG.EXE.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 2.6 - 1st Player
- The very first player to enter a new game of CNW, will have a long wait
- for all the files to get created and updated for the world. It is HIGHLY
- recomended that this first player is YOU, the SysOp. This is so that the
- first player does not have to wait about 5 minutes or longer
- (depends on your cpu) to wait for these files to be created, and there
- are a lot of NPC files to be created.
-
- The UPGRADE.BAT or INSTALL.BAT will automaticly now try to run "SYSOP"
- after upgrading, it will in effect run everything that is needed to be
- run after install.
-
- ------------------------------------3.0-------------------------------------
- 3.0 - IGMs
- - I do NOT recomend you installing other IGMs on top of CNW!
- - I do NOT recomend you REMOVE any IGMs with the IGM.EXE program with CNW
- package! (see 3.4)
- - If you see an IGM which you do not like in the CNW, contact me (see 1.5)
- and I will look into the IGM to see if it is worth removing, also
- please specify map location of IGM and whats so bad about it. :)
- - If you want to know which IGMs are in included in CNW, check the
- /IGMS/ path and 3RDPARTY.DAT after installing CNW.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 3.1 - 3rdparty IGMs
- There are well over 137 IGMs included in the latest package.
-
- If you count the number listed in the 3RDPARTY.DAT file, it will report
- much less. This is not 100% accurate, this is cuz some IGMs did not get
- listed when I installed, or they go removed, no idea why or which ones
- got missed.
-
- If you were to count the number of *.IGM files in the /IGM/ subdirectory,
- It will show a more accurate number of IGMs included in the package.
-
- I have added and removed many IGMs, doing it both with the IGM.EXE and
- manualy. Also deleting the ?.IGM file in question. But, I also do not
- trust myself 100% that I have done the complete removal of each IGM I
- have removed from the package. I also have seen a few IGMs that did NOT
- have an ?.IGM with the IGM package. (non-map igms, .ref only, and my IGMs)
-
- Therefor, the actual number of IGMs installed in CNW is really unknown.
- I go by the number of *.IGM files in the /IGM/ subdirectory for the
- version number or each CNW package.
-
- Some of you may noticed I would say for example.
- "There are 136+ IGMs in v136.1 of CNW." Notice the "+" ;)
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 3.2 - CNW FEATURES
- This is a complete list of features in CNW that are not 3rd party IGMS,
- these ONLY can be found in CNW.

- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 3.3 - <removed, merged with 3.2>
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 3.4 - Removing an IGM
- DO NOT remove an IGM with IGM.EXE, it will not work, and it will cause
- way too many problems. I recomend that you use the world editor, and
- physicly remove the IGM from the map, then delete the corisponding REF
- files. (RTWEDIT.EXE)
-
- I do not think anyone will be doing this, if you must, I would like to
- hear which IGM you plan to remove, and why. If it's a good reason, I may
- either modify that IGM to better the game for the next release, or totaly
- remove the IGM for the next release.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 3.5 - NPCs
- Here is something NEW and very characteristic of CNW now. CNW can currently
- only handle a max of 200 interactive NPCs. Do not worry, this is far off
- from how many currently are around. (125 now)
-
- NPC profiles!, NPCs are very interactive, you can flirt, kiss, take out,
- bring with you, marry them and even kill them. Each one is different,
- and they change their attitudes as well as time passes and their
- experiences develope with the players. Some are greedy, theives and
- slutty, while others are very nice and hard to get, even JEALOUSY!
-
- Each game that is run will be different, meaning, you might be able
- to have a great time couting with the NPC in one game, while the other
- game, that same character can rob and hate your guts!
-
- NPCs have sexual prefrences, yes, some are gay, lesbian, or even bi, I
- was thinking of adding another beastility (animal)
- (only if someone requests it, I'll add it)
- It is possible their preferences would change without notice.
-
- NPCs can get lost too, if you see it mentioned in the daily news, then
- you've got a chance to go find the NPC and earn stuff.
-
- NPC Quests, sometimes they may ask for your help to bring them to
- a place to pay their taxes. Help them out and earn quest points and
- more.
-
- With NPCs you can:
- - flirt (take out on dates, marry,
- - cure them on VD (quest points here)
- - Other little quests they may ask for.
- - attack and kill (or kill you) :)
- - they can rob you if you are not nice to them.
- - give gems or gold
- - get information
- - and much, much more!
-
- In the future, by the time I complete this huge NPC project, there will
- be features such as, trade items, give items and rob them.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 3.6 - Fonts
- This is something I started way back when CNW had first been released.
- A font you could load with various programs.
-
- I am sorry, I only so far created a font for the LiTERM terminal program
- for DDO-F/X graphics.
-
- I do plan to make a DOS font, and a Windows Font which you could load
- at any time for any terminal program for DOS or Windows. I may need help
- on this. Not sure at this moment.
-
- If you have made fonts before or would like to help in making some,
- please contact me. (see 1.5)
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 3.7 - Make your own CNW IGM
- If you plan to make your own IGM for CNW, or have an IGM that you wish
- to be included in CNW, please follow this requirements:
- - MUST BE FREEWARE!
- - Must NOT be compiled in REC only REFs permitted.
- - Make sure it does NOT mix up with other map screens used by
- other IGMs. Check the CNW map, then use that map instead of
- the original New World map.
- - If you're adding NPCs, please send me the choosen NPC#, and
- profile info to include in CNW. Check these files for info
- TALK.REF <- has a list of ALL NPC related files
- NPCNAME.REF <- names and npc#'s already taken
- NPCMAKE1.REF <- npc profile info 1
- NPCMAKE2.REF <- npc profile info 2
- NPCMAKE3.REF <- npc profile info 3
- NPCMAKE4.REF <- npc profile info 4
- NPCMAKE5.REF <- npc profile info 4
- - If an NPC has a quest, please contact me with ideas, and I'll help
- you make it the proper way. :)
- - DO NOT OVERWRITE ANY CURRENT FILE NAME!
- - All data files (.IDF), must be saved into the /data/ subdirectory.
- (I'm still working on that IDF thing)
- - Tell me that you made it! If it's good, I'll include it in next
- release.
-
- If you really want, you may join the CNW team. please contact me.

- ------------------------------------4.0-------------------------------------
- 4.0 iBBS LoRD 2
- There is currently developement for a lord2 ibbs program. As of now,
- this program will be FREEWARE. We do not have a release date yet.
- When available, this program will be distrubed with the CNW package,
- and mostly set up for joining our league. Will require to email me
- when this is ready.
-
- UPDATE JAN30th 2000-
- We may not make the typical ibbs game, but the real time line ibbs game,
- a lot like the tw2002 for real time game. This will mean only bbses
- connected to the internet will be able to function properly. This game
- is more complicated to make into an ibbs as your typical game may be.
- There is still a lot of talk about this. Please send your comments
- to the lord2 mailing list at
- lord2@egroups.com
-
- UPDATE DEC 2000 -
- I'm planning to drop iBBS support at the moment, unless there is
- any demand then I may try it again.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 4.1 - CNW iBBS LoRD2
- I've started a somewhat iBBS LoRD2. Your bbs MUST be connected to internet
- all the time in order for this idea to work. So far there are 3 boards
- connected to the LoRD2 CNW iBBS game, but is also currently still open for
- other individual users/players.
-
- What is it really?
- Its a telnet server running off syncronet software, and can be setup
- to only accept pre-configured boards to connect to the main server. Each
- BBS will then be able to recruit players from their own board (like any
- other iBBS game) and try to get them to join the same team, against players
- from other boards that are connected to the main telnet server.
-
- Contact me for details on starting your own lord2 ibbs league, in fact,
- you can do this idea for ANY door game! You just need a dedicated telnet
- server with a fast enough bandwidth. :)
-
- To join the CNW iBBS network, fill out the /DOCS/L2CNW.APP form.
-
- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- 4.2 - iBBS IGMs (do not worry about this yet)
- --- Notice to IGM authors for iBBS compatibility ---
-
- Directories to be added in future versions for iBBS compatibility:
- /data/ = for all *.IDF and *.DAT files which are used during the game.
- /ibbs-out/ = files to be processed and sent to another node.
- /ibbs-in/ = files received from another node.
-
- Have ALL your data files to store any info about the player or game
- settings stored in the /data/ directory instead of the main lord2
- directory. This will make it iBBS compatible and the same time, easier
- to reset the game.
-
- Any file in the /data/ directory which gets modified in the game, should
- be copied into the /ibbs-out/ directory so they can be processed and
- send to other nodes.
-
- All IGMs already included in this version of CNW, I will make the
- apropiate modifications to include iBBS support, if you wish your
- IGM to be included in future versions, PLEASE make those new regulations
- to make it iBBS compatible.
-
- This version of CNW is NOT iBBS ready. The iBBS program is still under
- developement.
- If any other door authors wish to make iBBS programs, to handle the
- processing and distribution, please use these standards laid out

- 5.1 - Manual Updates
- I now automaticly upload all the files from the /IGM /DOCS and the *.REF
- from the main lord2 path. You can manualy grab them any time with any
- http file grabber, if you wish to do quick upgrades which I recently make
- almost every day.
-
- The best way to check if i updated something, is by the date on the file.
- You can find various http grabbing programs to handle this, if you are
- so interested in doing it.
-
- "WGET" is a program for linux, I also heard there was a windows version,
- I would recomend using it, as its very easy to use. :)
-
- So set your grabber program to just grab NEW files that compare to yours.
-
- make sure you add the option to not grab ALL the files off my server
- (eg. wget -np http://greenmachinebbs.com/lord2/cwnfiles/)
-
- If you figure out the proper command line for any program, please send
- the details to me, so I could include it in here. thanks.
