CHECKLIST FOR SETUP/PLAY PROBLEMS
----------------------------------
Before you assume there is something wrong with the game or you
cannot get them to run on your system please check the following.
If you answer yes to any of them you are doing something wrong.
* currently exitilus works best with the standard long form of
door.sys drop file.. if you are using ANYTHING else
it would be recommended to use some drop file converter (like
door master) to convert your dorinfox.def or whatever to
the standard.
* if you are having occasional lockups and freezes. You can use
auto boot programs to watch your system and reboot for you
if the game locks up.. (one such program would be auto boot 200)
if you lockup constantly or more than you can take, please contact
me.. thanks
_____ - You run a multi-node BBS but you don't lock the other nodes
when one node is accessing the game...
_____ - You did not delete ALL the old game files prior setting up
this new version. Applicable ONLY if you are upgrading
from a previous version. Note: If you are registered then
do NOT delete your old key.dat file.
_____ - You forgot to run the SETUP.EXE program to configure the
paths and data first.
_____ - In your batch file you COPIED the drop file to the Exitilus
directory... Instead of simply telling the path of the
drop file in the setup...
----- - You have not tried to change to a different drop file format
to see if that might be the problem.
----- - You do NOT have ANSI.SYS installed.
----- - You do NOT have ALL the game files in the same directory?
_____ - YOU HAVE NON-STANDARD com port or irq??
then try to run exitilus with a port:aaaa:x option
see sysop.doc for more information...
* heres a cureall. if you are having freezes at the beggining of the game.
run the game with a PORT:F:P parameter. wehre P is the com port.
example: you run com2 so your command line would be:
exitilus PORT:F:2
