-
- Thank You for trying this product. We hope you and your users enjoy
- playing it as much as we did designing and writing it.
-
- If you find any problems in this product please let us know,
- we can be reached at the above bbs number or the address posted in the
- REGISTER.DOC. See the SYSOPHLP.DOC for more info on how to report
- problems!
-
- We have included an add to place on your bbs if you wish to advertise
- the arrival of THE COVE! *** COVEBBS.ANS ***
-
-
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- If you are upgrading simply copy COVE.ZIP into your directory and unzip it.
-
- 1. Create a directory for the game: example: "BBS\DOORS\THECOVE"
-
- 2. Copy Cove.Zip into the directory you created and Unzip it.
-
- *** WARNING ***
-
- If you are upgrading over an existing game then do not unzip FIRST.ZIP!
- This file contains generic conversations for the talk areas. It will
- copy over yours if unziped!
-
- 3. Make sure that ALL files listed in contents.doc are located in
- that directory.
-
- 4. Change Directories to the game directory.
- example: CD C:\BBS\DOORS\THECOVE
- Type "COVECFG.EXE" and hit the <ENTER> key. The first thing
- you want to do is (1) Create the "THECOVE.CTL" file.
- Edit each of the Entries.
-
- Two versions of a fully commented .CTL file are provided for
- manual configuration. One is identified by the game title
- (example: GAME.CTL) and this is the UN-EDITED version and the
- other identified as SAMPLE.CTL is what a CTL file should look
- like AFTER it is edited. If all else fails - try the one I use
- on MY support BBS (Sample.CTL). If you have fossil drivers be
- sure to uncomment the 'fossil' option. If you have a modem set
- to a non-std IRQ be sure to use the PORT# option for that com
- port.
-
- Where to put this file?
- Put this file wherever you are running the game executable file
- from. If you ran the WILDCFG program from the Game Directory as
- instructed, then it will already be in the correct place.
-
- 5. EDITOR: (Later release) If you are registered then you will be able to
- alter some of the game settings. If you are NOT registered then you
- will be able to view the game settings, but NOT SAVE them.
-
- 6. Now, "exit program" after you are completed. That's all there
- is to it! If you ever need to reset or re-start the game just
- run COVECFG.EXE again.
-
- 7. Install the door into your BBS software (see your BBS
- software documentation for more information). A batch file is
- normally used to do this. To run the program just have your
- batch file change to the THECOVE directory and run COVE.BAT
- Thats all there is to it! (the game must be run through the
- COVE.BAT file for remote callers to assure proper functioning)
-
- Three different batch files sample are included to help you run
- the game. These are included with the game for editing and your use.
- Remember when writing the batch routines for my games you must ensure
- that the game is run from it's home directory AND that the game knows
- where to find the drop file. Satisfy these two requirements and you
- should have no problems running the game as long as the other
- setup criteria has been met. For dorinfo systems try using the
- following:
-
-
- Sample Batch File
- -----------------
-
- COPY DORINFOx.DEF \RBBS\DOORS\THECOVE\*.*
- CD \RBBS\DOORS\THECOVE
- COVE.BAT
- del dorinfox.def
- CD \RBBS
-
- --> Please note that you replace the "x" with the appropriate
- node number. Ex: Dorinfo1.def ; Dorinfo2.def ; etc... as
- specified in the COVECFG program under 'CREATE
- "THECOVE.CTL" file under NODE NUMBER.
-
- 8. *** NOTE *** The games .dat files will not be created until someone
- enters the door.
-
-
-
-
-
- NOTE FROM THE PROGRAMMERS:
-
- This game is an adventure game like no other! It however does not
- support RIP at this time. This version is also single node only.
- We plan on a multi-node release in the future.
-
- We have included with this .zip a bug report form (BUGRPT.FRM) please
- use it to report any problems you encounter. (see sysophlp.doc for info).
