- This program, CHREIBBS.EXE, allows you to play Chain Reaction
- with other bbs's. It sends the scores of all systems playing
- in your leaque to the league coordinator, then combines the
- scores, which are then re-distributed to all systems. Also, all
- new chains added by any system are distributed to all in the
- league.
-
- You may function either as a NODE, a HUB, or the League Coordinator.
- The desciption of each follows.
-
- If you can not find a league local to you, and wish to join one,
- Mace Software operates a Chain Reaction league. To join, send a
- request to Gary Mace at any of the addresses listed above.
-
- CHREIBBS uses any FidoNet style network. It creates the *.msg files
- in your net directory which will need to be converted by your mailer.
-
- CHREIBBS is a free addon to the Chain Reaction door game. You must be
- running Chain Reaction v1.90 or later. Since this is a free add-on,
- there is no warranty provided. As you've heard before...it works
- here!
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- LEAGUE COORDINATOR:
- This is the person who is the main hub of the league. This system
- is where all the scores are combined, then redistributed to
- his nodes, and hubs. There can be only ONE coordinator per league.
- ^^^
- To become a League Coordinator and start a new league, you would:
-
- 1. Run CHREIBBS SETUP
- You will have to assign yourself Game ID: CHREACT001
- Note: All ID's start with CHREACT, and end with 3 digits.
-
- 2. Run CHREIBBS SETUPHUB
- Here you enter the information on all systems that will
- call you. DO NOT include systems that call one of your
- hubs. Thats their job.
-
- 3. Nightly:
- run CHREIBBS OUTBOUND
- run CHREIBBS INBOUND
-
-
- Thats it! Now wasn't that easy.... :)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- HUBS:
- This is a system that has other system that call them. There can be
- any number of hubs in a league. As a hub, you will have to assign
- the ID number (ex CHREACT012 ) to each system under you. You can
- assign them anything except 001 and your assigned ID.
-
- To become a HUB, you would:
- 1. Contact the league coordinator, and request an ID number.
- Note: All ID's start with CHREACT, and end with 3 digits.
-
- 2. Run CHREIBBS SETUP
-
- 3. Run CHREIBBS SETUPHUB
- Here you enter the information on all systems that will
- call you.
-
- 4. Nightly:
- run CHREIBBS OUTBOUND
- poll YOUR hub
- run CHREIBBS INBOUND
-
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- NODES:
- This is a system that is the league, but does not have any systems
- under them.
-
- To become a NODE, you would:
- 1. Contact the league coordinator, or any HUB and request
- an ID number.
- Note: All ID's start with CHREACT, and end with 3 digits.
- If you can't find a hub that is a local call, you would
- best to use the league coordinator. This will provide the
- fastest turn around of scores.
-
- 2. Run CHREIBBS SETUP
-
- 3. Nightly:
- run CHREIBBS OUTBOUND
- poll YOUR hub
- run CHREIBBS INBOUND
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- NOTES:
-
- All systems in the league must have configured the same number of plays
- per day as the league coordinator. If not, your packet will be ignored
- and scores from your system will not be added.
-
- Hall of Fame scores are processed on the third day of the month by the
- league coordinator. This should allow ample time for all systems to
- get the score files in on time.
-
- That should about do it. CHREIBBS creates several files in your games
- directory. Do not delete !!ANYTHING!! you are not sure what it does.
- On hub and leaque coordinator systems, it will also create a subdirectory
- \IBBS.
-
- Any questions, drop me a line.
