- 01/16/95
- [v2.3] Eliminated the 'ANSI not detected....' message since there are
- a few communications packages out there that give off their
- own type of ANSI.
-
- If using the TRIBBS.SYS system file, the door always presented
- the opening screen in black and white. Will now be presented
- in color.
-
- A first time caller to the Door was being given a black and
- white screen throughout the Door. The caller would then have
- to use the Door option to toggle the color on. The Door will
- now default to having the color turned on and the caller will
- have to use the color toggle, on the game menu, to turn it off.
-
- The Door knows that the caller is the Sysop, if the caller is
- record #1 in the BBS' user database. The BBS software passes
- that record number to the door via the system file. Some BBS
- software does not pass the actual record number but passes a
- relative number (ie: record #1 is passed as record #0). If the
- number being passsed is 0, the Door will not know it is the
- Sysop calling. We will now recognize the caller as the Sysop
- if their record number is 0 or 1.
-
- As more and more BBS' use Alias', we have been asked to
- provide a way for the callers to use their Alias' rather
- than their LogonName. All Sunrise Doors will now have this
- Sysop configurable option in the CFG file.
-
- If participating in an InterBBS game, the number of games per
- day will NOT be overridden by the security specific entries in
- the CFG file.
-
-
- 08/05/94
- [v2.2] A new option has been added to the CFG file to control the
- number of high score entries you wish to be displayed when
- the player chooses the appropriate option OR when they are
- leaving the game. There is no maximum/minmum that can be
- displayed OR you can use ZERO(0) to display ALL entries.
-
- If the XXXX/YYYY entries in the CFG file were entered in
- LOWERCASE, the Door would display a CFG error and return to BBS
-
- Using a NEW entry in the CFG, you can now define the number of
- months to retain in the HALL of FAME files.
-
- Added a new option to the playing menu that allows the player
- to toggle the Color On/Off.
-
- You will have to run a conversion program called USREXPND
- (included in the Door ZIP file). This program is to be run ONCE
- ONLY if you are upgrading from an earlier version of the Door.
- If you do not wish to run the conversion program you can just
- delete the .USR file (deleting the USR file causes the game to
- start over with all prior scores being lost).
-
-
- 03/12/94
- [v2.1] Past problems with large values in the Door.Sys or other System
- Files (Drop Files) generating an OVERLOW (Error 6) error, have
- been resolved.
-
- When the Door displays the opening screen, it asks if you want
- instructions and you are forced to enter a Y or N. This was
- installed to handle problems encountered when using Digiboards.
- With this release you can choose whether you want to force a
- y/n OR if you want to use the y/N format which allows the
- player to press ENTER for the default N. You must update your
- CFG file, see DOC file.
-
- When displaying the scores in an InterBBS environment, the
- players with a Percentage of .000 were being sorted near the
- top of the scores list. They will now sort properly.
-
- Bulletins that were being created did not contain the Baseball
- Dice name in the heading.
-
- 01/10/94
- [v2.0] Hall of Fame bulletin was not being created at end of month.
-
- "String Space Corrupt" error when running in an InterBBS
- environment and more than 10 users were in the score file
-
- 12/16/93
- [v1.9] Introducing an INTER-BBS option whereby players may compete
- against players from any number of other BBS', running
- Baseball Dice.. See Docs for a more indepth explanation as
- well as an explanation of the new CFG option.
-
- Added a MAKE-UP-PLAYS feature that allows the caller to makeup
- game plays they may have missed during the current month. This
- will afford those callers that do not call every day, an equal
- chance to compete with callers that play every day.
-
- Automatic game reset will take place when the first caller of
- the month plays the game. Two Hall of Fame bulletin files will
- be created (SUNHOF.ANS and SUNHOF.ASC) and all scores cleared.
- Be sure to read the Documentation!!!
-
- Non-registered version will automatically reset the player's
- scores anywhere from the 17th thru 29th day of use
-
- 06/19/93
- [v1.8] Removed delay at start of game.
-
- The option to refresh the screen has been changed from
- an * to a #.
-
- Now supports the PCBoard /M version!
-
- 03/12/93
- [v1.7] When there were runners on 2nd and 3rd AND the player chose
- to BUNT(Sacrifice) it showed Sacrifice as a legitimate
- option and it should not have...
-
- If you entered a zero for number of Hiscore entries, in your
- config file, no hiscores were being recorded/reported. If you
- now enter a value less than 5, it will default to 50.
-
- Now supports Comm Ports 0-15
-
- Callers will be required to answer the "Want Instructions.."
- question with a Y or N. This was required to circumvent a
- problem encountered when running under WildCat's IM version.
-
- 01/05/93
- [v1.6] There was a bug in the new option to allow Sysop to play
- 99 games or not.... it was ignoring the entry and
- forcing 99 games.
-
- 12/23/92
- [v1.5] BRUN45.EXE is no longer required!
-
- Added support for Fossil based Multi-port cards!
-
- New Configuration option to allow Sysop to choose whether
- they want the computer to allocate 99 games to them or if
- they just want to be like any other caller.
-
- 10/15/92
- [v1.4] Well, looks like the few reports I received about the game
- not handling WALKS too well have been well founded (not
- that I doubted it at all <g>). I actually did make a change
- that affected the WALKS... sorry to those that will have to
- download this again.
-
- 10/12/92
- [v1.3] Added support for TRIBBS software. We now access the
- TRIBBS.SYS system file directly!
-
- After a CHAT or DROP-TO-DOS the game screen will now be
- restored to its original state.
-
- In registered version, if you put in 0 for play time, it
- would translate to 15 minutes. Changed to default to logon
- time remaining.
-
- You can now define 9 members of a team, by name. This will
- constitute the roster and each player, in turn, will be
- shown as the batter. See Docs for more info about the file
- name and content restrictions.
-
- The computer's score will now be displayed inning by inning,
- rather than all at once a tthe beginning of the game. This
- should make it more of an interesting game!
-
- 06/18/92
- [v1.2] You can now use an environmental variable for Non-Standard
- IRQs. This will eliminate the need to have multiple batch
- files to execute the door. See DOCs under NON-STANDARD COM
- SUPPORT for details.
-
- You can now use environmental variables, on the first line
- of the configuration file. This will eliminate the requirement
- that you create an individual configuration file for each node
- in a multinode environment (ONE config file for ALL nodes!!).
- See DOCs under MULTI-NODE SETUP for details.
-
- Made some changes to fix the TIMEOUT errors encountered
- when usinga 486 with/without DesqView. Need feedback !!
-
- Made some changes to correct the Error #6 (Overflow Error)
- when using SpitFire version 3.2/SFDOORS.DAT. I need some
- feedback on this one as well!
-
- Added support for GT Power's GTUSER.BBS file. To use this
- you will be required to add to lines to your configuration
- files. Please see Docs for changes. Need some feedback on
- this as well!
-

- when a new game was started.
