Avalon v0.75 WB1 ASCII/ANSI Player Ranking Bulletin Generator Version 1.00
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- AVBull is (C) 1997, Devon Brooks, BFS
- A Freeware Avalon SysOp Utility for Avalon 0.75+!
- Feel Free to Distribute AVBull to Everyone!
BFS Product Information: AVBull
────────────────────────────────
AVBull is a simply to use, easy to install SysOp Utility for the doorgame
Avalon, for use with versions 0.75 (Wide Beta One) and above.
What does it do?
────────────────
AVBull generates an ANSI and an ASCII file in your Avalon Directory with the
rankings of the characters in your Avalon game. ASCII file saving can be
easily disabled, and, vice versa, ANSI saving can also be disabled.
How do I use it?
────────────────
It's simple. Copy AVBULL.EXE and BULLCFG.EXE into your Avalon Directory.
Then, type BULLCFG.EXE. Since it's your first time running AVBull, it will
not find the AVBULL.CFG file, and subsequently auto-create it. It will
then give you the option to define the save path and filename for both ANSI
and ASCII saves, and give you the option to skip saving either one.
Once you've defined your paths, that's all there is to it. Run AVBULL, and
it should create the *.ANS/*.ASC file saves (if they aren't disabled) in the
directory you specified. That's it! Simple enough, right?
What's it used for?
───────────────────
AVBull does much the same thing that ROKBull does (for our other door, ROK).
Since we released ROKBull only about a week or so, and we just released Avalon
on April 1st, we decided to get AVBull out and into the public ASAP. Thus,
here it is.
SysOp's can use these RANKINGS.* files in many different ways. A lot of
BBS's in my area usually have an area on their BBS which displays who is
winning what game, and by how much. This is one area where it can be used.
Also, the benefit to Avalon users is that they don't have to actually enter
Avalon to see the character listing.
All in all, this utility can be used for some great things.
Does it cost anything to register?!
───────────────────────────────────
Heck, no! This simple to use utility is freeware. If you like it, give
me some feedback. All we ask is that if you have not registered Avalon yet,
please consider doing so. -Thanks!
What is Avalon, anyways?
────────────────────────
Avalon is our brand new time-travelling RPG doorgame. It has explosive
options, an in-depth, involving storyline, and everything a user could ever
want in a TRUE RPG doorgame. It rocks. It's simply a must have for a BBS
that runs *good* doors.
It can be downloaded from our website, www.sasknet.com/~bfs, or our ftp
site, ftp.europa.com/outgoing/DOORS/BFS (case sensitive). It can also
be FREQ'd from 1:140/129, using the Magic Name of "AVALON". It is a new
door, so it's just getting out and around to the different parts of the
world now. Be one of the first in your area to grab this hot new door!
