Hello, Sysop!
{Even if you are familiar to SRGames installations, see end of docs for
special BRE info}
Installing a new copy of BRE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Barren Realms Elite. We've attempted to make installing ANY
SRGame as simple as possible...
Here are the steps:
1. Type INSTALL BRE to set up the doorfile information and create a
batch file.
The doorfile information allows BRE to interpret the doorfile
created by the BBS every time it runs a door. Currently there
is support for RBBS, GAP, WWIV, Wildcat, GT Power, PCBoard,
and Spitfire door files.
The corresponding filenames are DORINFO1.DEF, DOOR.SYS, CHAIN.TXT,
CALLINFO.BBS, GTUSER.BBS, PCBOARD.SYS, and SFDOORS.DAT. If you need
another format, read SRDOOR.DOC.
It explains the options:
■ Write a replacement for SRDOOR that handles your door format.
■ Insert a door file converter program before SRDOOR.
■ Send us your door file format and specify which lines contain:
» Name (First AND Last, or Entire)
» COM port number
» baud rate
» IBM graphics characters enabled? (optional information)
» ANSI enabled? (optional information)
» Number of lines on the screen (optional information)
» Time limit (in minutes) (optional information)
3. Install the door to run the batch file (BRE.BAT) from the BBS.
(See your BBS manual if you do not know how to do this.) If you
have Telegard, TAG, or Spitfire, look at PROBLEMS.DOC to see how to set
up the menu options to run BRE.
4. RESET the game with "BRE RESET". *** VERY IMPORTANT ***
5. If your High-Speed Modem is causing our Special Effects to jam the
modem buffers, please try running "BRE /NOSPECIALEFFECTS" instead
of "BRE".
6. BRE supports a /LOCKED=##### feature for locked baud rates removing the
need for SRLOCK.EXE. See OPTIONS.BRE for more details.
Upgrading an older version of BRE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just UNZIP the BRE?????.ZIP file --- Your old game will still work, but
sometimes certain features of the new game may not work correctly. A
RESET will enable all features of the new version to work, but until then
you can still continue your old game.
Special Features Of Barren Realms Elite
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A neat special feature of Barren Realms Elite is the Bulletins Menu. BRE
comes with 3 already installed bulletins. Please do not delete these. You
may add your own at any time by editing BULLETIN.LST. Instructions are
listed at the top of that file.
InterBBS Operations is another special feature of BRE! If you are linked to
Fido Net (Or any other Net - Untested), you may link up with up to 49 other
BBS's around the world and compete head to head! See IPSETUP.DOC for details.
See BRANSI.DOC for information on sysop creatable ansi files!
Have fun with the game, and if you do wish to register, fill out the
REGISTER.BRE and read it for details. Thanks!
