- Franchise Basketball v1.xx
- By: Scott K. Snella
- Local Area Network Setup
-
- Franchise Basketball may also be used on a stand alone PC or a Local
- Area Network. By using it on a LAN, you could play inter-office leagues
- similar to Fantasy Baseball/Basketball/etc. To set up the game on a LAN
- or a PC please follow these steps...
-
- You can execute steps 1-5 of the normal setup file, except
- rather than create a batch file for a BBS, you'll create a batch file that
- runs in FBB in local mode. The best idea would be to utilize the .CFG file
- setup method, explained in section 4.2 of the file SYSOP.DOC. In this file
- there is a toggle to allow the execution of Franchise Basketball in local
- mode by default. Enable this option, and then run the program through a
- batch file like so...
-
- @ECHO OFF
- F:
- CD\FBB
- FBASKET FBASKET.CFG
- CD\
-
- This runs the game in the local mode, and does not require a dropfile.
- Players may run the batch file from their workstation, and play the game
- from there. This method allows for excellent office pools. The only
- drawback is that the MAINT.EXE program must still be run once a day. Not
- a big deal if you can automate this procedure, but it is if someone has
- to remember to do this. I suggest that one person be elected the moderator
- and be in charge of collecting and keeping and entrance fee, and running
- the evening maintenance. Although the money is optional, it would be
- an excellent way to get a registered version of the game... Each player
- put in $2 for a season. With just 24 teams, that's $48. Send $20 for
- registration and give the league winner $28.
-
- Franchise Basketball also includes an extra option for LAN users.
- Passwords may be used. When setting up the game (in FINIT.EXE), enable
- the password protection option. This will allow players to password
- protect their team to avoid unauthorized use of their team.
-
- Thanks for playing Franchise Basketball
