KeWL Vote v3.1
KeWL PRoDuKsHunZ
(C)opyright 1997
SYSOP INFO
----------
This door is a multi-node door. It will work on multi-node bbs's.
This door was programmed with OpenDoors 6.0 registered to KeWL
PRoDuKsHunZ. Run the KpvCfg.Exe program to create all your config
files. You do NOT need to make a separate config file for local mode.
If you do NOT specify a config filename, it defaults to "kpv31.cfg",
but you MUST specify the filename if you want to use the "-local" option.
There is 1 HIDDEN option, its in the main menu. Its "D" at main, its
to Delete a Question, but it ONLY works in REGISTERED MODE. :-) If you use
a batch file to run doorz from your BBS, here is what I have in mine.
This bat file has been tested on Iniquity, and Illusion BBS software:
KewlVote.Bat
---------------------
@echo off
cd c:\bbs\door\KPvote01
KPVOTE.EXE KPVOTE#.CFG <--- you will want to make a separate .cfg file for
cd c:\bbs every node, and put it on the command line.
exit
---------------------
To run locally, make the line:
KPVOTE.EXE KPVOTE#.CFG
read:
KPV31.EXE KPV31#.CFG -local
You must ALWAYS specify a config file, or it will default to "kpv31.cfg".
I run Illusion v1.94, and Iniquity v1.00 Alpha 25, and this batch file
works great. It is up to you to know how to put a door inside the menu
of YOUR bbs software. That is all you have to do. No maintenance, or
nothing. If for some reason it totally screws up (Which it never has,
and I don't expect it to do either), but if it does, then all you have
to do is delete the questiion file (kpv31.qst) and the user file
(kpv31.usr), and it should reset everything and work again.
Ok, here are the command line functions, you can also see a list of these
by typing "kpv31.exe -help" at the command line. You could also type
-h, or -?, instead of -help. Anyway, here they are:
kpv31.exe kpv#.cfg -local
That makes it run in local mode, you can use ANY config file for ANY node,
but NOTE that you MUST specify a valid config file to run in local mode.
You will know if its valid or not. If it runs, its valid, if it don't, its
not. :-)
kpv31.exe -reset
(You MUST have a DROP file in the same directory as the program for
this option to work. I dont know why, but just copy an old one if
you need to reset the game. Or, just delete the kpv31.qst, and
kpv31.usr files. :)
That is the ONLY command line option that DOESN'T need a config file
specified with it also. This will start the door, and then ask you if
you want to reset, if so, it will reset, if not, it won't reset, and
it exists. Its as simple as that.
Those are the ONLY three command lines kewl vote will recognize, and the
only onez that actually do something.
MULTI-NODE SUPPORT
------------------
When you unzipped this, a file called "Multi.zip" was extracted (should have
been anyway ), This has the config's for multi-node use on WildCat!. They
should help if you have any questions about it. The filez in the zip are:
sample.bat --- sample batch file
kpvote1.cfg --- for node 1
kpvote2.cfg --- for node 2
kpvote3.cfg --- for node 3
kpvote4.cfg --- for local mode
WHAT IS KEWL PRODUKSHUNZ???
---------------------------
1.) INFO ON ME
----------
ok, i am 16, i have programmed in c++ for about 3 years now. I got
BBS software from a local BBS, and i liked it. To make a long story
short, I wanted something better than those NORMAL doorz. That is
how KeWL PRoDuKsHunZ got started.
2.) INFO ON KEWL PRODUKSHUNZ
------------------------
Ok, on (4-09-1996), me and my friend was talking on da
fone, and we were talking about making some doorz for BBS's, so a
few dayz went by, and he made some ANSi's for one. I though..hmmm..
this could work. So, i began programming. In a few days, i had the
door in beta, and the rest is history. Then we made up a name
(KeWL PRoDuKsHunZ), and now, here we are...
btw-> I (CaSPeR), am 16 years old.
Avalanche, is 17 years old.
REGISTRATION
------------
This program is Shareware, and registration is REQUIRED after the
trial period. (IMPORTANT) After there have been "5" voting questions
added into the door, it will NOT add ANY MORE until it is registered.
And the Page Sysop, Show Results, Delete Question, and Anonymous
voting options will NOT work until you register. And, there are a
FEW unregged delays in the program. This is because that I think
what I show you is enough to find out if you like it enough to REGISTER
or not. After you have registered, you will recieve a KEY or the KEY
code, to place in a text file, (but if you change it in ANY way, it
will no longer work). If you choose to get it through the mail, i will
send the code and all you do is create a text file named "KPV31.REG",
and put in the code (EXACTLY how I wrote it in mail), and place it in
the directory where KeWL VoTe's filez are. If it doesnt work, you have
the wrong version of the door. (explained a few lines below.)
Read the KPREG.TXT file for info on how to reg, and the reg form.
Alpha/Beta Releases are FREE to already registered
users. BUT, you WILL have to contact me to get the NEW
registration key.
