- What is DBM?
Dragon's Breath Mountain is an IGM for use with LORD (Legend of the Red
Dragon) written by Seth Able. DBM is a big mountain where the users can go
to buy different kinds of weapons and armour, fight in some caverns, exchange
gold in the exchange bank, so the users can store their gold in it and be
safe from theft and hang out in a mountain top tavern. I created DBM to be
as much like LORD as I could so that the users would feel at home in this IGM
and not have to learn new commands.
- Setting up DBM with LORD
Setting up DBM is very simple... first unzip DBMV72.ZIP to any dir (ex.
C:\LORD\DBM\) and then run DBCFG.EXE. Then select "C" from its main menu to
configure DBM to your system. Enter your name, your BBS's name, the path to
the LORD dir, the path to the DBM dir, the number of cavern fights you would
like your users to have each day (only available if REGISTERED), the bank
interest, the max amount of gems and fairys warriors are allowed to keep in
thier safety deposit boxs (only available if REGISTERED). Then select "I"
from the main menu and it will install it for you. You are now all set to
run it from the "Other Places" in LORD!
***NOTE!***
If you are running a multinode system, you MUST have DBREATH.EXE set to
READ ONLY by using this command at the dos prompt where DBM is located:
Attrib +R DBREATH.EXE
Of course, to ever undo this and make is NOT READ ONLY the command is:
Attrib -R DBREATH.EXE
- The DBREATH.CFG File:
Ricky Friesen ; Your Name
The Planet BBS ; Your BBS's Name
00000000000000000000 ; Your registration code
0 ; Is DBM installed? 0=no 1=yes
D:\LORD\ ; Path to the LORD dir (include trailing "\")
D:\LORD\DBM\ ; Path to the DBM dir (include trailing "\")
15 ; Cavern Fights per day
7 ; Bank Interest
25 ; Max number of Gems allowed in Deposit Box
5 ; Max number of Fairy's allowed in Deposit Box
- Monster Editor
Now you can edit and custom make your own monsters for Dragon's Breath
Mountain! All you need to do is from the main menu select (M) and then you
are there. And when you register it, you will even be able to save your
changes, but take a look at it anyways. When editing your monsters keep in
mind of what level they will be found in, because after all you don't want
to make them impossible to beat, or do you <G>.
- Registration
The registration fee is only $5. This registers ALL future updates or
releases of Dragon's Breath Mountain. To register, just fill out the
DBM.REG form and send it along with the registration. You can recieve your

with your registration code, your code will be locked out and will be no
