- Many sysops are unwilling to setup the InterBBS Gaming System, are unsure
- of its workings, or are unwilling to connect to another system. This file
- explains how to set up several local games to be interconnected so you
- may essentially run an "InterBBS Local Game".
-
- This can be especially interesting if you have a large number of players on
- the board who wish to form "teams" and fight, etc.
-
- How to do this:
-
- See the INTERBBS.DOC for basic information on how to set up your TANODES.DAT
- and BBS.CFG files.
-
- TANODES.DAT:
- ────────────
- Each game should have a different Nodelist number and name. For
- simplicity, it is recommended that you use 1:1/1 for the first game,
- 1:1/2 for the second, and so forth.
-
- BBS.CFG:
- ────────
- For all games (2..n), the INBOUND FILES directory should be:
- [GAME(N-1)]\OUTBOUND
- For game #1, the INBOUND FILES directory should be:
- [GAME(N)]\OUTBOUND
-
- For example: Suppose you have a 4-game setup in directories C:\TAL1,
- C:\TAL2, C:\TAL3, and C:\TAL4.
- Game Inbound File Directory
- 1 C:\TAL4\OUTBOUND
- 2 C:\TAL1\OUTBOUND
- 3 C:\TAL2\OUTBOUND
- 4 C:\TAL3\OUTBOUND
-
- ROUTE.CFG:
- ──────────
- All systems should route data to the next system, with the last routing
- all data to game #1. For a 4-game system, you should have the following:
-
- Game 1 should have a route.cfg with: "ROUTE * 2"
- Game 2 should have a route.cfg with: "ROUTE * 3"
- Game 3 should have a route.cfg with: "ROUTE * 4"
- Game 4 should have a route.cfg with: "ROUTE * 1"
-
- This basically produces a file circle. Run TAL PLANETARY on each system 1─x
- in order, and all the necessary information will be properly transmitted
- between systems. Running this cycle twice will produce immediate results of
- all attacks, etc.
-
- SAMPLE FILES (for a 4-Game System)
- ──────────────────────────────────
- This assumes a 4-game system, with a league number of 900. The four games
- are contained in C:\TAL1, C:\TAL2, C:\TAL3, and C:\TAL4.
