Ok here it is.. My VERY FIRST Arexx door for Starnet. I've tried to make it
simple enough to install. All you do is move this directory called YATZ
(yep the one this file isin ) directory over to where you keep your
doors/arexx scripts, then make the following changes to the files to
suit your system.
in the yahtzee_x.prx files (which by the way is a fantastic way to kick off
arexx doors as you don't tie up as much disk space) change line 2 to suit your
system. (included is line 0 and 1 just change the path)
EG: Yahtzee_0.prx
/* Starter for line 0*/
address command "rx doors:yatz/yahtzee.prx 0"
ie:ADDRESS COMMAND "RX {path}[main script] (line number)"
then in the file called Yahtzee.prx (note no 0/1/2's)
bbsname = 'The R.A.B.B.I.T.' -=|- Put your BBS name here
sysopname = 'Cameron Arnott' -=|- Enter Your name here
file1 = 'bul:bul99.txt' -=|- High scores file. To reset just delete
file2 = 'doors:yatz/title' -=|- change the path but leave the file the same
file3 = 'doors:yatz/instructions.gr1 -=|- do the same here
file13 = 'Doors:yatz/ErrorLog' -=|- and again here
.
.
.
'getvar' 1; username = result -=|- Change the "1" to 21 if using handles
.
There that wasn't hard now all you do is set up a menu.?? file with
.
Option 'Y': -=|- change to whatever key you desire
Function arexx <Path>/Yahtzee
end
.
Then compile the menu.?? with "mc"
Edit your menu's helpfile to sshow that you have YAHTZEE on your bbs
(I know its simple but you'd be supprised just how many forget to do it)
Well thats about it for now.. Keep your eyes open for more Doors,scripts
and other stuff from The R.A.B.B.I.T.
Version History:-
V1.00 was the first verion to be given out.. naturally it had a few minor
bugs in it like "end"'s in the wrong spot.. and the filing system
didn't work with all systems so that lead to .. you guessed it
V1.01 Which fixed up (i hope all the bugs) lije being able to cheat and
having the error log appearing in the high scores.. i rewrote the
die throwing routine as it wasn't very random.. i hope this i now
random.. i also changed the backbone (error trapping routines and
the loader.. v1.00 had none.. ok.. i hope that there won't be a
need for version v1.02 or more
V1.1 Converted to MEBBSNET by Larry Cloud
>>>From Larry - I've fixed a BUNCH of crap in this door and added a few things.
The file NEWDAY should be copied over the LASTPLAYER file by your MIDNIGHT.SCP
script at (you guessed it) midnight.
