LORD TRX!
A SocraSoft In Game Module for use with Seth Able Robinson's
immensely popular "Legend of the Red Dragon" versions 3.25+.
What is it?
TRX is a door that works in conjunction with LORD. It
emulates the look and feel of LORD and reads and writes to
LORD's user records and other data files as well as
maintaining records of it's own. It's purpose is to provide
a way, after a suitable challenge, to trade weapons and armor
with other players and to steal money from other players.
How do I install it?
Unzip the TRX archive into your LORD directory. There should
be the following files included:
LORDTRX.EXE the main executable
TRXQUIZ.DAT the data files for Soc's questions
LORDTRX.DOC what you're reading now
REGISTER.TRX registration information
In addition to these, a fifth file, TRXUSER.DAT, will be
created when the door is actually used by someone.
Installation couldn't be easier. Type "LORDTRX INSTALL".
Answer the questions (there's all of maybe 4) and you're set.
Btw, TAB moves between fields on the entry screen and ENTER
means you're done...
How much is it to register?
This package is available for the amazing sum of $5, yes, that's
right, $5. Fill out the REGISTRATION.TRX and mail it to me at
the address listed. At the moment, all I can take is cash (be
careful!), checks and money orders. I'm working on taking credit
card orders, but it's not available just yet.
What do I get when I register?
Well, aside from that warm fuzzy feeling you always get when you
register shareware, you get a really neat editor for the quiz
database. You'll find that your users will learn most of the
answers eventually, this will let you add new questions and/or
modify the old ones <g>.
How do I uninstall it?
Ack! Why would you want to? <g> Well, not to worry. Since you're
probably stressed out from too much medication if you're wanting to
do this anyway, I've made this as easy as possible. Simply type
LORDTRX UNINSTALL and it will dutifully remove all traces of itself.
What do all the parameters do?
Ah, a technical questions of sorts <g>. Well, there's just a few.
LORDTRX <node number> - You'll never use this, this is how LORD
calls the door.
LORDTRX INSTALL - This is how you set up the door.
LORDTRX UNINSTALL - Only used by lunatics <g>.
LORDTRX EDITOR - Invokes the quiz database editor (registered
only feature).
LORDTRX REGISTER - This is how you enter your registration key.
How do I contact you?
My Fidonet address is 1:280/66. The number for my BBS (Synergy)
is (816) 763-3353.
Hope you enjoy the game as much as I enjoyed writing it!
