NOTE: These are the original docs written for the stand-alone BBS version
of Hack & Slash. They are included merely for reference and information.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a standalone BBS program to play a Role Playing Game. It is a very
addicting game to those people who are familiar with D&D style of play. User
interaction, mixed with intelligent computer opponents, makes this BBS unique
and popular to call. Everyone gets tired of message bases, networks, nodes,
file uploads & downloads. Most people want fun from their computers. Why not
play games with other people? Let your keyboard be your joystick and your
modem be your game cartridge! Go kill a monster or another user. Joust for
gold and glory. Rob another user. Pick pockets in the Square. Buy a naval
warship and hunt sea monsters or sink another user's ship. Create a gang
of users to party against another gang or the fearful Monster Mash. Drop into
a dungeon and explore your way to adventure. Or, drink beer in the Tavern and
start a brawl amongst the other players. Sure, there is even E-mail and a
message base for communicating and posting, but the real fun is beating up
players, taking their possessions, and hoarding gold! This demo version is
fully playable. The only difference is that you become Immortal upon reaching
level 30 instead of level 100. Levels 31-99 are v-e-r-y interesting as magic
users become more powerful and fighting classes get tougher.
There is ONLINE documentation in the Help & Hints section. Read them all for
game play instructions!!!
Sysops can access their menu from the pulldown option Sysop or Right-Amiga-S.
From remote locations, King and Queen level users can type an @ at the Main
Menu to get into the Sysop menu. Access levels determines the user's ability
to use the game features. For example:
<1> Visitor 2-calls, 10-minutes. Default access to NEW users.
<2> Stranger 2-calls, 10-minutes. Assign this to users you are having
problems verifying.
<3> Prisoner 2-calls, 5-minutes. Assign this to any user you don't
want playing the game.
<4> Serf 2-calls, 20-minutes. Assign this to novice players.
<5> Squire 3-calls, 15-minutes. Any Serf who reaches the 3rd level
gets promoted to a Squire.
<6> Knight 3-calls, 20-minutes. Any Squire who reaches the 10th
level becomes a Knight. They may start a gang.
<7> Noble 3-calls, 25-minutes. Any Knight who becomes Immortal
becomes a Noble.
<8> Lord 3-calls, 25-minutes. Assign this to special users.
<9> Queen 3-calls, 25-minutes. I gave this status to my girl. She
lets me rule when she says so!
<10> King 3-calls, 25-minutes. The sysop. User #1. Make sure.
RPGBBS can run using any Commodore Amiga hardware configuration with a Hayes
compatible program. Among hardware tested, an Amiga 3000 under WB2.04 and
a Supra2400, SupraFAX 14.4, and a Practical Peripherals 9600 modems were
used. RPGBBS supports 128 users. The message base holds the last 50 messages.
The software multitasks very well, as it is event-driven and demands very
little CPU power at a clip.
To configure RPGBBS:
Copy the Venus font to your System FONTS directory. This font is necessary
for the local, custom screen.
RPGBBS.config file contains the following lines and can be edited:
1. Your BBS name <- Put your BBS name here
2. 19200 <- Maximum baud rate your modem supports
19200 is the computer-to-modem rate
9600+ baud modem owners.
3. ATMS0=1 <- Modem initialization string when
waiting for a caller. Puts into
Auto-Answer mode with speaker off.
4. ATZ <- Modem shutdown string when RPGBBS is
taken offline.
RPGBBS.system file is updated when RPGBBS is taken offline. The file
contains the following lines:
1. Last date RPGBBS was taken offline
2. Total logins to date
3. First Bulletin Message on disk
4. Next Bulletin Message to store
5. Last Caller #1
6. Last Caller #2
7. Last Caller #3
8. Border message
9. Caller stats (Sun-Sat)
A User and Gang file gets created and initialized if they do not exist in
the directory RPGBBSdemo gets booted from.
Text files may have .mono counterparts if you wish to dispose of the ANSI
versions and rename them to take their place. Or, you may customize them
to your own taste.
