- What is it!?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- RG Ranks is a Renegade BBS Rank generator, it takes the city of a user
- and converts it to a Rank. When I say rank I mean a title that signifys
- the access and power a user haves on your board. The Title can be anything,
- (within 30 charecters) and you define the SL & DSL (Security Level &
- Download Security Level) plus the minimum number of posts for a user to
- obtain the rank level. It adds a nice touch to your board, and most of ALL,
- it makes users WANT to post to gain a higher access. After you define the
- Rank level and access with RG RANKS, you can go and edit the time per day
- in Renegade to coincide with the Ranks, so each level has increasingly more
- time, not THAT much more but enough to make the user appreciate his/her
- upgrade.

- Technicalitys
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- RANKCFG.EXE - Load this FIRST to initialize or read you CFG file.
-
- RGRANKS.EXE - Load this as a NIGHTLY EVENT that will upgrade the users
- access level and chaneg their Rank field (City, State)
-
- REGISTER.DOC - Read this after you've gotten the feel of RG RANKS. This
- took ALOT of hard work and if you like RG RANKS support it
- AND get your 255 rank level max in the registered version.
-
-
- Okay how do I use this. Here is what you do, load up RANKCFG.EXE and
- initialize your CFG file. ONLY USE RANKCFG TO EDIT CFG FILE! If you do it by
- hand the ranks get royally screwed up. Then run RGRANKS.EXE Once to start
- Renegade on a Rank System. Then load the program into your Nightly Event
- batch file so that it will run everynight. That way it upgrades the users
- around the time it does all the other board maintenance. It works fine
- in a nightly even, RGRANKS.EXE doesn't require any user input, thats what
- the CFG file is for.
-
- I suggest you mass mail your users on the now effect Ranking system,
- and make an ansi or TXT file to display to them what the rank system looks
- like and where they are on it. Make it a bulletin or maybe a forced file
- during the logon procedure, and encourage posting! This entire program
- works even better on a board with networked message areas, once users get
- into it to get access to play games and download files they actually find
- it's fun to post! Imagine that!
-
- Remeber again, I spent hours and hours doing this program so that
- all the SysOps out there get an easy time running a kick ass board.
- I'm a SysOp myself, and thats where I get the ideas for these utils
- I keep pumping out. So lets support my effort and register the
- program, it's worth it anyways...
