- History File of T&J Video Poker!
-
-
- NOTE: Look for InterBBS and make-up days in the next release!
-
- July 22, 1995 === Version 1.71
-
- -- Fixed a screen clearing problem if larger bets are entered.
- -- Fixed the new payoff routines - they will now work.
- -- Added an alternate screen display mode for Macintosh users. By
- hitting 'B' at the main menu you can toggle between the settings.
- This is not documented on the door, you must tell your Mac users
- about it!
- =========================================================================
- April 2, 1995 === Version 1.70
-
- -- Some players have complained that the giving of money on moday
- to the best hand played on Sunday was an unfair advantage. I can
- understand this! The sysop now has an option to not allow this
- bonus money to be transfered on monday's. To accomplish this,
- create a file call NOMONEY.DAT in the Video Poker directory.
- -- Added an extended log option. By creating a file in the Video
- Poker directory called EXTEND.LOG, the door will keep a log file
- for each NODE showing each hand played.
- -- Made the payoff amounts sysop adjustable. Create/edit a file called
- NEWPAY.DAT. The payoffs are listed like this in the file: (there are
- nine lines in the file)
-
- 500 <- Payoff for Royal Flush
- 300 <- Straight Flush
- 200 <- 4 of a Kind
- 100 <- Full House
- 50 <- Flush
- 25 <- Straight
- 15 <- 3 of a Kind
- 5 <- Two Pair
- 1 <- 1 Pair (higher than the sysop specified minimum)
-
- -- Maximum betting has been increased to $99,999,999,999, that's
- almost 10 billion dollars per hand. You may change the maximum
- bet by editing a file called MAXBET.DAT. Don't use comma's in the
- number. If this file doesn't exist, it will be created by Video
- Poker with a default maximum bet of $9,999,999.
- -- Added the actual hand display for yesterdays high hand and for
- today's high hand. When upgrading, it will take 1 day before the
- high hand database will display the high hands.
- ==========================================================================
- May 28, 1994 === Version 1.62
-
- -- Recompiled because of a problem in the player database with the
- first player on a new week (after reset) would generate an error
- (just for the very first player).
-
- May 16, 1994 === Version 1.62
-
- -- Users decided to drop carrier when getting bad cards and
- restarting. Fixed. If they drop carrier they lose one round
- of play.
-
- ==========================================================================
- March 9, 1994 === Version 1.61
-
- -- Well, somebody figured out they could enter their bet in
- exponential terms (i.e. 2.0E+12) and get around the seven
- digit max bet (i.e. 9999999). Fixed! Special thanks to
- Glenn Snow for pointing this out!
-
- ==========================================================================
- February 22, 1994 === Version 1.6
-
- -- Updated to DoorFrame v3.1 routines.

- window.
- -- Added Last Week's High Score/Person to the bulletins.
- -- Added All Time High Score Date to the bulletins.
- -- Dropped support for CHAIN.TXT.
- -- Added a DONATED.BY file. If the door is registered, and somebody
- registered the door for you, just create a file called DONATED.BY
- and place the persons name in the file.
- ==========================================================================
- July 26, 1993 === Version 1.5
-
- -- Added better support for Wildcat! IM and PCBoard/M versions.
- -- Added new features for more sysop configuration options such as
- blanking the screen when a remote caller is online, blanking the
- sysop control lines, and assigning the keyboard timeout parameter.
- -- Added the ability to play another round of Video Poker (if you
- have a play left) when you quit.
- -- Revised the KEY routines to support a VIDEOP.KEY file instead of
- entering the information in the sysop.cfg file.
- -- PRESS <ENTER> TO CONTINUE now waits for the ENTER to be pressed
- and not just any key.
- -- Added the ability to input a CUSTOM reset date for those of you who
- want the door to play longer than the standard 7 days!
- -- Added STANDARD or CUSTOM modes of play! STANDARD is with the
- standard betting options, CUSTOM the user may enter bets up to
- $9,999,999!!!
- -- Modified the VPUTIL.EXE program for the added options and moved
- the VPUTIL.EXE program inside the main code. It is now accessed by
- typing VIDEOP UTILITY

- any PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE errors (BBS lockups).
- =============================================================================

- =============================================================================

- the required maintenance by itself!

- claim it, it's now added to the next days jackpot.
- -- Fixed a problem that only occurred with UBBS systems.
- -- Modified the VIDEOP03.DAT file.

- =============================================================================
- January 14, 1993 -- Version 1.1
-
- -- Fixed problem with reading in the players.dat file - everything was
