- 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:
