** IMPORTANT **
---------------
If you are a registered DogWorld v1.x user, please read the file:
NEWKEYS.DOC before installing DogWorld ][!
When unzipping the main DogWorld archive (DGWRL200.ZIP), it is
required that new files in the archive overwrite any old files
that may exist in a previous version of DogWorld. If you unzipped
this archive into an existing DogWorld directory, and you said no
to the "do you want to overwrite" message, then your installation
will probably fail. You should go back now and unzip the main archive
again using the -o switch, ie. "PKUNZIP -o DGWRL200.ZIP". That will
force pkzip to unzip and overwrite any old files. Then use the new
UNPACK.BAT file to unpack the DogWorld ][ game files.
DOGWORLD ][ v2.01 Quick Install
New Installation:
If you are running multinode, you should have share.exe (or equivalent)
installed.
STEP 1:
Unzip the DogWorld ][ archive into an empty directory by running the
batch file - "UNPACK.BAT". You will need to have a copy of Pkunzip
somewhere in your path for the batch file to work. The file DOG201.RES
is a normal zip archive.
STEP 2:
Run DOGEDIT.EXE. Setup your bbs nodes and starting game settings inside
DogEdit. Under "Game Options" run (H)..Reset Whole Game, so that the
number of days the game has been running will be correct.
STEP 3:
Modify the batch file DOG1.BAT to match your system and setup
your BBS to run this batch file.
HINT! Some BBS's run doors directly. In those cases, the
DOG1.BAT file will not be needed. Just make sure your
BBS package changes into the DogWorld ][ directory and
executes the command "DOG.EXE /N:x" (where x is the node number).
(Refer to your BBS documentaion for more info on setting up doors).
** IMPORTANT NOTE TO LANTASTIC USERS!! **
If you run Lantastic you should also run the batch file: DO-LAN.BAT
so that the main DogWorld ][ files are marked as read-only. This is very
important!!
Upgrading from a previous version:
WARNING!! It is always a good idea to backup your entire DogWorld ][
directory before attempting an upgrade. If something does go wrong, it
is better to be safe than sorry!
STEP 1
Run the batch file NO-LAN.BAT to turn off the read-only attribute
on the main DogWorld ][ files. (if you previously ran DO-LAN.BAT).
Unzip the DogWorld ][ archive inside your existing directory by running
the file - UNPACK.BAT. The batch file will unzip DogWorld ][ and will
preserve all your old settings, players, one-liner dialog, daily news,
and enemies.
STEP 2
Run DOGEDIT.EXE and turn on "multinode" support if you are running on
a network. (share or equivalent must be installed for multinode support)
Run the batch file - DO-LAN.BAT if you are running on a LAN.
If you have any problems setting up you can contact me in the
