1. About TGCheck
TGCheck is a FREEWARE Telegard Script that will randomly check users info
to make sure they have enterd true info. TGCheck will randomly ask their
Voice Phone number, Zip code, B-Day, middle 3 #'s in voice, and last 4 #'s
in voice phone (###-###-????) where ???? is what the user has to enter.
When it asks a question (about 10% of the times they logon) it will display
the answer to the question in the Command Line Box that will only show up
local. They user has 3 chances to enter the right info; after they use their
3rd chance, TGCheck will send an Automated message to you (the sysop) and
then will force the user to write you a letter explaining why they enter
the wrong answer. Then TGCheck will put a line in the sysop logs with the
answer to the question and what they entered, then TGCheck will hangup on
the user.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2. Installation
Unlike just about every other Telegard Script, you do not need to change
any paths in the script file, all you have to do to install TGCheck, is move
all the files in the .zip to your Telegard TEXT Dir ( C:\bbs\text ) and then
edit your LOGON.SCR File, and somewhere inside it put:
SCRIPT TGCHECK.SCR C:\BBS\TEXT
^^^^^^^^^^^ change this to your TEXT DIR!!! WITHOUT a
trailing backslash (SO DON'T DO C:\BBS\TEXT\
IT WILL NOT WORK LIKE THAT) ^
If for some reason you don't put the right path to your text dir, TGCheck
will not work and will tell you that the path to the Telegard Text dir is the
problem. After you have moved all the files to the text dir and edited the
logon.scr, logon and see if it works; if for some reason it doesn't, start over
with the instalation.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3. TGChecks Log
TGCheck records just about everything that happens in TGCHECK.LOG in your
Telegard text dir ( C:\bbs\text\tgcheck.log ). It will record all 3 answers
the user entered, the time they entered, and a lot of other info that is useful.
If you do not want to have a log file for TGCheck, read the next part of the
docs (TGCheck Options) Also - The TGCHECK.LOG has Telegard Color codes in
it, so you should set it up so you can display it from your Sysop Menu.
The log will have a 3/4 Box around it :
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│
│
│
│
│
│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The box is there not only to separate each entry, but also if the user
hung up when it asked him a question (because they didnt know the answer, etc)
the box will not be all the way around (most likely will not be at the bottom).
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
4. TGCheck Options
Right now, TGCheck has 2 options: nolog option, and a Canadian Support
Option. The Nolog option just deletes the log everytime someone enters
TGCheck, so it will still keep a log for the last person who entered, but
the log will stay VERY small if you have the nolog option on. To enable the
nolog option, just change the TGCheck line in your Logon.scr
It would regulerly be like this:
SCRIPT TGCHECK.SCR C:\BBS\TEXT
^^^^^^^^^^^ or whatever your system is
Change it to this:
SCRIPT TGCHECK.SCR C:\BBS\TEXT NOLOG
^^^^^ **MUST** be in CAPITAL LETTERS!!!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^Or whatever your system is.
The other option is Canadian option. All this does is not ever ask for
the Zip Code since it is in a different format in Canada. To enable this option,
just change the TGCheck line in your Logon.scr.
It would regularly be like this:
SCRIPT TGCHECK.SCR C:\BBS\TEXT
^^^^^^^^^^^ or whatever your system is
Change it to this:
SCRIPT TGCHECK.SCR C:\BBS\TEXT CAN
^^^ **MUST** be in CAPATOL LETTERS!!!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^or whatever your system is
If you wanted to have BOTH the NOLOG and CAN option on it
would look like this:
SCRIPT TGCHECK.SCR C:\BBS\TEXT NOLOG CAN

5. If You Can't Get TGCheck To Work.
The First Thing you should do if you can't get TGCheck to work is start
all over, and reinstall it. If this doesn't work, try these:
Q: TGCheck doesnt run when someone logs on
A: Try putting it somewhere else in your LOGON.SCR
Q: TGCheck says that the path isnt correct
A: you haven't entered the correct path on the command line, it should be:
SCRIPT TGCHECK.SCR C:\BBS\TEXT
^^ make sure you haven't put a \ after the text
Q: When someone logs on it says
"Unable to find script file "TGCHECK.SCR".
A: You didnt move all the files to your BBS's Text Dir!
That's about all the problems that I can think of that you may have.. So if
you have any problems that you can't figure out, E-Mail me (my address is in the
the next part of the Docs)

7. Future Versions
next version: 2.10 beta
what will probably be new:
Configurablility will be the biggest thing, here is a list of things
that will be configurable:
- what to check (only B-Day, Only Zipcode, Just B-Day & Zip code, etc)
- What percent of logons to check, so you could set it to only check
1/100 times, which if your bbs got 25 calls a day, about 1 check
every 4 days, or set it 10/100 so that it checks people 10% of
the time they logon.
- Wether or not to hang up on a user who has failed the check
- Wether or not to make the user send you a email explaining why
they failed the check if they fail
- Wether or not to send the sysop a automatted message stating that
a user has failed a check.
- What security level to not check above, by this I mean, if you
set this at 250, TGCheck will never check anyone with a security
level over 250. So if on your bbs you set your friends to a higher
security level then regular users, you can set TGCheck to not ever
check them.
- Maybe configurable colors for the program
-----
2.10b will also have a DOS "setup" program that will help you set all these
options
Approx. realease date: 12-24-97, probably sooner
--------
The next version after 2.10b will be 3.0b, which will basically be 2.10b
in the new Telegard 3.09b2 compiling scripting language.
And 3.10b will take advantage of new things in the new scripting language.
