- Thank you for downloading Global War!
-
- This archive consists of 3 files:
-
- GWAR.ZIP - This is the Global War door game.
- GWIBBS30.ZIP - This is the optional InterBBS add-on package. (Requires a
- registered copy of Global War 3.0).
- HOF30.ZIP - This is the optional Hall of Fame utility.
-
- IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM ANY PREVIOUS VERSION OF GLOBAL WAR:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Your existing games will continue uninterrupted, and you can enjoy the
- new features of Global War 3.0 if you follow these steps:
-
- 1. Go into your Global War subdirectory and save a backup copy of your
- WAR.CFG file and the batch file that you use to run Global War (print
- them, rename them, copy them to some other directory, whichever you
- prefer).
-
- 2. Copy (replace) all of the files in your Global War subdirectory with
- the new ones contained in GWAR.ZIP.
-
- 3. Edit the new WAR.CFG file that came with this version of Global War
- using your old copy as an example. Re-enter your registration code,
- BBS name, and make any other changes as desired. Several new options
- have been added. Be sure and set the new options as desired. Detailed
- explanations for the new options can be found at the end of the new
- WAR.CFG file. DO NOT try to use your old WAR.CFG file or you'll get
- runtime errors and may even lose data!
-
- 4. If you were using an earlier version of the Hall of Fame Utility, you
- must upgrade it to the latest version included in this archive. See
- HOF30.ZIP.
-
- 5. Most of the data file formats have changed in this version. You
- should delete any ranking utilities, game editors, or any other
- utilities and replace them with utilities known to support Global War
- 3.0.
-
- 6. Delete WINNERS.WAR and HOF.DAT if they exist. Winners.War holds the
- current scores. HOF.DAT holds the Hall of Fame names and dates. You
- will lose all your current scores and hall of fame data if you delete
- these files. It is possible to fix these files so that they will work
- with Global War 3.0 if you are willing to edit the files. To fix
- them, add BBS names and change the years to 4 digits as shown in
- these examples. The BBS name must match EXACTLY with the BBS name
- that will be on line 62 of your WAR.CFG file.
-
- HOF.DAT BEFORE HOF.DAT AFTER WINNERS.WAR BEFORE WINNERS.WAR AFTER

- INTERBBS UTILITY
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If you are interested in setting up an InterBBS network, unzip and
- examine the files in GWIBBS30.ZIP. Be aware that InterBBS games are not
- compatible with Non-InterBBS games. You cannot mix the two together in
- the same directory, so if you want to join an InterBBS network at some
- later date, you will have to delete all your present games or install a
- second copy of Global War in another directory. Global War InterBBS
- requires a registered copy of Global War.
-
- HALL OF FAME UTILITY
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This optional utility is HIGHLY recommended. If you are not in an
- InterBBS network, I urge you to install HOF right away. In an InterBBS
- network, the Hall of Fame utility is only used on the Hub - see the docs
- in GWIBBS30.ZIP for details.
