02/23/94 v1.5
MAN it's been a while since I've worked on this one :)
Moved all *.dat files into a subdirectory called DATA. You can
either do it manually, or run INSTALL.BAT. (If upgrading from v1.4)
If upgrading from 1.3 or earlier, delete ALL *.dat files!
Found a bug in my highscore routine that would sometimes cause a
wierd highscore to show up. Was caused by a blank user sometimes
being added into the userrec. Fixed and forgotten! ;)
If you're getting a strange highscore in your listing, just delete
DRMSLOTS.DAT and all will be better now.
The door is now multi-node capable! To run as a multi-node door,
you MUST have SHARE.EXE installed, and set DRMSLOTS.EXE' and
DRMSLOTS.OVR's attributes to READ_ONLY!!
Added a status bar to the top of the screen that shows the time, day,
date, etc... when you win, the spin's winnings is shown here.
When you win a spin, the winning windows are now highlighted. People
were seeing that they were winning, but didn't know how :)
7/17/93 1.4
>>> To upgrade from v 1.3 to v 1.4, use 13_TO_14.EXE !!!!
>>> If you are upgrading from v 1.2 or below, use UPGRADE.BAT !!
Now supports non-standard IRQ's
Minor cosmetic changes.
Small boo-boo with the jackpot and alarm setup. Fixed.
A typo in the HighScore routine was causing position 3 to mirror
either position 1 or 2 depending on which was playing. This is Fixed.
Took out the LARGE TitleScreen. Only one TitleScreen now.
Sped up the time it takes to spin each window.
The jackpot is now increased by $50,000 each spin.
Added commas to all the $$$ values that are shown/written.
The #1 HighScore is now printed in white to stand out.
Added more alarms... they are called up randomly.
Added a SysOp menu. Only users with a security level equal to or
higher than what you define can access it. The SecLevel ships
***> at 0, Be SURE to edit this, or EVERYONE will be able to edit
***> everything YOU can! Also, the MAXIMUM bet ships as 0!! Edit this,
***> or NO-ONE will be able to play!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the Sysop menu, you can now toggle sound off/on, specify
the MAXIMUM bet.(Max is $1,000,000), and Edit the minimum editing
security level.
The maximum bet can be configured as random, by pressing 'R' at the
Sysop Menu. When toggled on, it will select a different maximum
bet each night. (When the first user logs on after midnight.)
It is shipped as ON.
Added a maximum bet info screen before the machine is shown, this
is to inform the users what today's maximum bet is.
Things to come:
Loan Sharks with interest
Savings with interest
Sysop definable and/or random Pot increment values.
5/26/93 1.3
There was a problem where sometimes, the nightly event would cause
the player data file to be corrupt. This has been fixed. Player
maintenance is now handled on a user by user basis.
****>> The bells are now configurable... from the main menu, press 'T'
****>> to toggle them on/off. The option is NOT in the menu, and can
****>> ONLY be toggled by the sysop.
The winner alarm now randomizes between two different displays.
DreamConvert v0.6 is now included for WWIV Sysops to convert
Chain.Txt to Door.Sys... read WWIV.TXT.
All .EXE files are now compressed with PKLite. This should cause
no problems, but you can uncompress them if needed.
5/22/93 1.2
ARGH! Again! Somehow, the 1.0 .EXE file got into the v1.1 archive,
so 1.1 was really 1.0... I don't have a CLUE how that happened!
So, the additions mentioned below will be in 1.3. UGH!
5/14/93 1.1
ARGH! These problems were fixed.
1: I had the $30,000 limit set, but didn't show so in the instruction
screen. So when you bet over $30,000 you got a negative bet.
Now, if you try to bet over $30,000 it tells you to bet again.
The instruction scrren reads correctly now.
Thanx to Dan Taylor for pointing this out! He's a life-saver...
( A red one, I think <GRiN> )
2: Due to a typo, EVERYONE who played was written as user #1 in the
drmslot.dat. This has been fixed.
3: Occasionally, a cherry that was supposed to be written in window
4 would be written in window 2. This is fixed.
4: Took out an option I used for debug purposes... (woops).
Added defauilt names for the Billionaires' Club and HighScores. Guess
who they are :) No more No-One messages.
Since this was a sort of emergency release, the next release will have
an option for the sysop to turn the beeping sound off. But, I want to
get this revision out ASAP for the above reasons, but the next version
WILL have that added! Along with a 'fancier' alarm system and a few other
goodies (I hate that word.).
Also, there is a 'Secret message/Prize' in the door. But I'm not telling
what. Some of your users will discover it sooner or later. :)
Welp, that's it (Like its NOT enough! Jeez... If I had known about
these, this would be version 1.0... ah well....)
LLAP!
