GAMES PACK
~~~~~~~~~~
What is it?
~~~~~~~~~~~
This is Richard Paddle's games pack for ARCbbs 1.64 converted to ArmBBS.
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every time a user plays one of these good doors on my BBS I get about 30
lines of errors in the logfile about ArmBBS not knowing some ARCbbs specific
script commands, contained throughout the instruction screens and the high
scores charts.
After months of these errors, I finally decided to get to the bottom of the
problem and to go through all of the doors and alter all the script
commands, one by one, to their respective ArmBBS equivalents. Here is the
result of a rainy afternoon (was quite dry actually today!).
While I was at it, I altered the place where they store the scores files
from ones like "<ARCbbs$text>.HangScr" to "<HangDoor$Dir>.HangScr", so that
they do not need an alias for "ARCbbs$text" and are contained inside the
door.
Example menu definitions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As some SysOps might have problems with the scripts, I'll include here
the WHOLE of the definitions I use on The Werewolf BBS for these doors as
example menu definitions - you could copy them straight out and use them
without even changing them at all! I make no apology for any extra keywords
in these menu definitions, but all I can say is that they work! If anyone
knows that some of this can be cut down (like the flushib's) then please
contact me in any of the ways shown at the bottom). Here we go:
