- Ok, for those of us running Renegade wondering just how to setup ZMessage,
- here ya go.
- First of all, you will want to go to your Menu Editor (The # key). Then
- press I to insert a new menu named START. Now, press M to Modify this menu.
- Now press I to insert a new command (insert it before #1).
- Now press M to Modify this new command. Now, leave 1 and 2 alone and press 3.
- Now type FIRSTCMD and press enter.
- Leave 4 alone and press 5. Now, enter the appropriate Cmdkeys
- (DG for Door.sys, DD for Dorinfo1.def, etc.). Now press 6 to enter Options.
- For your option, type ZMESSAGE.BAT or the name of your BAT file. Leave Flags
- alone and quit.
- Now edit the Quit to Main command. Press 3 and type FIRSTCMD. Make sure it has
- MAIN under options and quit. Now you will write a .BAT file to start Zmessage.
- This is a copy of mine (edit it to suit your needs.) Ignore the REM commands
- if you are just reading. I added them in if you have your directories setup
- exactly like mine so you can just cut this out and paste in a new file and
- save it as your .BAT file to start zmessage.
-
- REM Turn the echo off to make it neat-looking :)
- @echo off
- REM Change to your Zmessage directory (change Zmessage to the name of your Zmes.
- REM directory!)
- cd\zmessage
- REM Start Zmessage with your dropfile path and use
- REM the LOGON switch (make sure LOGON is in ALL caps.)
- REM Set any other switches such as NOFOSSIL etc.
- zmessage c:\renegade LOGON
- REM Change back to your Renegade main directory
- cd\renegade
- REM Delete your dropfile, cleaning things up a bit.
- del door.sys
-
- Ok, now you will need to set up your Users to start in START.MNU instead of
- MAIN.MNU. Just change this in all your validation levels (Go to System Config,
- hit G, and then M to modify a level, and press M. Now type START and press
- enter. Repeat for all your levels.) To modify your users to start in START.MNU
- that have already logged on, press U to go in the User Editor. Now press Y and
- type START and press enter. Repeat for all of your users.
- And that's it! Enjoy ZMessage, and thanx Kurt for an EXCELLENT automessaging
- door!
