Rumors version 1.0, copyrighted (c) by Chris Whitacre, 1995-1997
Rumors is a simple little module written for falken bbs systems version 7.0x
that will spread rumors to certain areas at random. This is configurable by the
sysop. Rumors comes in three main parts, rumors.exe is the silent program that
runs in the back ground, rumrload.exe is the loader program that will load the
rumors.exe program, and rumruser.exe which is the user interface.
Setting up rumors is rather simple, all you have to do is make a sub-
directory for rumor programs and copy all files there. Then, load up your bbs
config program and add rumrload.exe to your logon doors menu, the only
parameter that this program needs is the path to the rumor files and thats it.
Second, add the rumruser.exe file to your menus along with the path to the
rumor files and that is it.
Extra files needed for rumors to run properly are called rumors.lin and
badnames.txt. The rumors.lin is a simple text file that should hold a area name
on each line, a sample is included in the archive. The badnames.txt file is
another simple text file that can hold the name of a problem user on each line.
This file is checked against the user name when a user loads the module, and if
there is a match made then they are told that they are banished from the rumors
door.
Extra commands are available in the door for SysOps only, these
commands are pretty much straight forward so I wont go into them to much,
however, the main one you need to deal with is the configuration, you should go
into this area first and setup the door to look like the way you want, it is
fully configurable as far as text and colors go. Make note that when a regular
user goes into the door all that they are asked if for their rumor and that is
it.
Warranty, whats that? there is no warranty on these files, they are to
be best to my knowledge free of bugs, but then again thats not allways the
story :) Users of these programs shall and will hold the author of it free
of any damages that this program costs, however, I still want to know about the
problem so that I can get it fixed asap.
Registrations, until registered this program will only allow 5 rumors
in the database at any given time, and a 10 second delay when entering the door.
See reginfo.frm for registering infomation.
All bugs can be reported to Car Doctor on Docs BBS, The Midnight Hour,
M-42 and all my local bbs's or via internet to cd@midnight.kingsnet.com
