Battle of The Arts Version 2.01
=-------------------------------------------------------=
- There is really only one reason that I updated the door to version 2.01
so soon from the release of version 2.00. This is the fact that people
were still having trouble with the door dropping carrier and locking up.
I hope that this version fixes that..
- FOSSIL DRIVER should now work smoothly with the door...
- Took out the Goodbye commands (As many of you will be happy to know!).
- Took out the room at the inn feature, had reports of it dropping carrier
after getting a room at the inn. I looked over the problem, and just
couldn't figure out what in the heck was wrong.. so I just took the
feaure out of the door.
- Saw a bug in the listing of people that broke blocks, now fixed. Saw some
other little things that weren't working right with the gangs. They
weren't that bad, but I fixed them.
- Had comment from a registeree about adding a style of fighting into the
game, Tai Chi. It made me think. So, in this version I made it possible
for a registered sysop to add their own styles into the game. This way
making the game more configurable. Upto 11 styles can be added.
- Some people were thinking that the door locked up because the MAINT.EXE
file took a pretty long time when Updating. So, I added the nice little
feature of showing how much percent is completed. You probably won't
notice this add-on, unless of course you stay up till midnight...
- Had comments about having add-ons (IGM's) with the game. I am not sure
yet if I will or not, but I might add this option in future versions.
- Still working on the RIP Graphics.. Got the screens made, just need to
put them into the program.
- This version was made possible by all of the support that I have had
out there! I'd like to thank all the people that have registered the
door and all of the people who have reported bugs and problems to me.
- I can only hope that this version is bug free. It should be, for I have
been testing this sucker for over 3 months.. Happy Gaming!

Battle of The Arts Version 2.00
=-------------------------------------------------------=
- While releasing the door in the middle of April we thought that it was
a bug free program. Well, we were mostly correct. Since then a few problems
have arose and we have hopefully fixed them. People were having trouble with
the door dropping carrier and locking up. The DOOR.CFG file seemed to also
cause a slight problem. So, after days of hard strenuous work I have finally
finished the 2nd version of BOTA.
- The DOOR.CFG file has been almost completely cut out. People that are
using fossil drivers have no need for this file anymore. While, it is still
needed for the sysops who wish to not use a fossil driver. So, I am hoping
that removing this file solves many problems.
- Then came the problem of the door not coming up. It would just say that
the door lost carrier in the DOOR.LOG. So, I tried a couple of things and
that problem should be eliminated.
- Then came the worst problem of all. I found out about this bug inside
of the game (Thanks for pointing it out Curt!). The problem was this:
When a player stayed inactive for too long he would be deleted. But then
the players would somehow get rearranged and everyone would have someone
elses character. I fortunately fixed the problem and I can almost guarantee
that no more like that one will arise.
- I have also added a few other things into the door.. you'll notice them!
- RIP graphics are on the way!!!
Hope the new version works!
