-
- Running BBS Yahtzee in Local mode :
-
- You may run BBS Yahtzee in the Local mode by typing the following
- at the DOS prompt
-
- C:>Yahtzee Your Name
-
- Note : if any parameters are passed to Yahtzee it will assume Local
- Mode and won't use the modem at all.
-
- Another way to run local from your BBS is use the Dorinfo1.def door
- file or another door file that indicates local by writing 'COM0' to the
- door file. When BBS DragRacing reads the door file it searches for 'COM0'.
- if it finds 'COM0', It will assume the local mode.
-
-
-
- Running BBS Yahtzee on your BBS :
-
- To run BBS Yahtzee on your BBS you will need to know what your
- BBS uses as a user file that is "DORINFO1.DEF", "CALLINFO.BBS"
- "USERFILE" etc.. If you don't Know What line numbers that your
- userfile uses for User's first names and Last names and Baud
- Rates, You'll need to look at them using a text editor and figure
- out which line has this information..
-
- If your userfile is not a text file, that is, a binary file or
- or something else then you might try using QKDOOR.EXE to convert
- your user file into a text type file.
-
- If your userfile has a Time left line and a Time Limit Line
- then BBS Yahtzee will use that information if you tell it
- where to find it..
-
-
-
- NEW: BBS Yahtzee Now supports Systems that use Chain.Txt user file.
- for reading the amount of time a user has left..(in Seconds)
- check out the Yahtzee.Cfg file for more info.
-
- Use Setup.exe program that comes with BBS dragracing package.
- Simply plug in the appropriate information, set up your batch file
- or whatever it is that you do to run a door.. and your all set.
-
- If You have Registered BBS Yahtzee with the Author (me), It is very
- important to make sure that the upper and lower case letters are
- correct in your registration number.
-
- BBS Yahtzee will detect a Carrier Loss and return to the system.
- It will update the player's status in the player data file, So
- dropping carrier won't undo any monetary losses etc...
-
- Running Yahtzee on a Multi Node System:
- Simply Specify Which Node is running as a Parameter passed to the
- executable file using the following syntax. You can setup various node
- settings using the "Setup.exe" Program.
-
- ex.
- Yahtzee ... Defaults to Node 0
- Yahtzee /NODE 1 ... Defaults to Node 1
- Yahtzee /NODE 4 ... Defaults to Node 4
- ( Up to 8 Nodes Allowed )
