Conquest is written in GFA basic
By
Chris Gregory
at the
Wargamers BBS ( Express )
(816) 966-8188 24 hours but its a very busy board guys!
300/1200/2400 baud
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all let me state the fact that Conquest is a Shareware product.
You can run it on your BBS and it will work just like my copy. If you
like the game I am asking for a $25 donation which will get you 2 things.
1) A registration file so that it won't look like your BBS's name is the
Wargamers BBS, Your BBS's name will appear instaed of mine. And your
users won't think your a scum of the earth cheapscape. ( Ha Ha )
2) All the help you will ever need. Not like some authors of online games.
and any future updates that I make for no further donation requested.
3) All the games that I have found that are worth running on the BBS do this
and I have paid for all that I run, as alot of time and effort go into
these games.
If you wish to get your copy registered. Send a check to-
Wargamers BBS
10600 Walrond
Kansas City, Mo. 64137
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conquest is set up to run on Express ,Forem and Star BBS's.
I have been running Conquest on my BBS now for 4 months. I could have
released it some time ago but wanted to make sure that it was in the
condition that someone with a lot of pride would want. It has also
Been tested at -The Next STep- in Autin Tx a Forem BBS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conquest contains these goodies.
A logsheet for the sysop to view who has started kingdoms, timed out and
so on.
So that tells you it contains a timeout feature to keep your BBS from
getting locked up.
Two days worth of news routines for the present day the file will be
called Conquest.nws and the old days news remarkabley will be called
oldnews.txt.
As many players as you wish.
Protection for new Kingdoms ( 5 days ) and Kingdoms that have got
Trashed ( 1 day )
A novel idea of once you send your armys out to fight, they are gone for
a whole day so you better leave some at home to protect yourself.
And many more things that I can't think of at the moment.
You will also find a program called Consetup.prg
use this program in the base directory of DRIVE A ONLY.
This creates your setup file. Now this is the only tricky part of getting
this game to run, Listen real close.
1) The only place that Conquest will look for you setup file is in the
root directory of drive C, Example C:Conquest.set
If that is not where you copy it to after you make it then the program
will not work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
To REstart the game
All ya got to do is delete the Conquest data file since you name it
I don't know what you will call it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For BBS Express sysop's
Well guys don't die of a heart attack! I run BBS Express and you will
Have no problems with this game. I have a script file included and you
can do whatever you want to do with it. I have not had the time to add
the player stats routine to it so if someone beats me to it send me a
copy ok?
The program itself takes care of the old and new news so don't
worry about that.
There are two other files that you must have that I included
1) Todaydat.tim / holds todays date
2) Player.dat / holds the users name
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Forem Sysop's
All you have to do is make sure that when you use the conquest setup
program that you answer the second line correct.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank Gary Nichols of The Next STep BBS for all of his
help in getting Conquest going for the Forem BBS's
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also have another game coming out at about the beginning of
the year that is a huge HUGE space game that will require a
1 meg. st or better to run it. I am trying to keep it small
enough for a 1 meg as I have 2 st's and don't want to have to
buy a third. It is based on the board game Star Fleet Battles.
