BARREN REALMS ELITE VIEWER 1.1
------------------------------ Freeware by Dave Kerr
Copyright (C) 1994-1995 David Kerr
To install, follow these simple instructions:
■ Copy BREVIEW.EXE and BREVIEW.CFG into the main Barren Realms
directory you wish to have it in. ie: C:\BRE
■ Edit BREVIEW.CFG to your BBS's configuration.
■ Create a batch file or edit your BRE batch file to incude the
programs name, BREVIEW, where appropriate.
■ Run BRSCORES CONFIG. You must create every bulletin so that
there is 254 possible listings. This is not needed for smaller
games, but larger games do. Even larger games of 50 boards
or more, you will start to lose lots of rankings, because BRSCORES
only allows for a maximum of 254 rankings.
■ Done!
USING BREVIEW
-------------
[1] Select BBS - Lets you pick a BBS from BRNODES.DAT
[2] View Placements - Shows the rankings of the BBS in all catagories.
[3] View Regions - Ranks all the users on that BBS in regions
[4] View Networth - Ranks all the users on that BBS in networth
[5] View Score - Ranks all the users on that BBS in score
[6] Top Players - Tells you the best players on that board
[7] High Scores - Tells you top players in the league
[8] View Empire - Gives you stats on a single empire, very handy
[9] InterBBS Scores - These are similar to the standard BRE scores,
except they include Top BBS's by Score and a few
others. They also are easier to use by the fact
that they do not scroll part of the scores off the
screen and are simpler to stop viewing than normal.
[C] Change Color - Turns color on/off for slower modems
[0] Quit - Leaves the program
I hope you find this handy in your conquests. Too bad it is not possible
to insert these into your IP ops menu.
Updates: v1.1 - Fixed a couple viewing bugs
- Added Top BBSes (OverAll)
This bulletin is a calculation of regions, networth,
and score. This is the formula:
(Regions + Networth/10000 + Score/800)*7
The fact that it is multiplied by 7 does nothing but
make the bulletin look better.
- Added View Placements (#2) and changed menu a tad
- Added a second ranking in top players
- Added ability to enter BBS name when selecting BBS
instead of just numbers
- Dont have to specify BREVIEW.CFG on the command line
anymore.
Future: These are some features that are being looked at for the future:
■ Top Ten players in league
■ Compare two realms
■ Get rid of the need to run BRSCORES.EXE with this program,
which would allow one to view every player in the league.
