WARRANTY 1
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This product is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. The entire

Futhermore, the author does not warrant, guarantee, or make any other

USAGE 2
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This product is being distributed as FREEWARE for REGISTERED users of
Sunrise Door Software's door game GANGLAND WARS. UNREGISTERED users will not be
able to use this add-on module. GWAIP is ONLY for use with GANGLAND WARS
v2.4+!
DISTRIBUTION 3
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Since this module is included with the ACTUAL GANGLAND WARS archive, it is
best that distribution is limited to that archive. I would rather that
no one seperate the GWAIP.EXE file from the main archive for distribtuion.
Thanks!
DESCRIPTION 4
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
AIP stands for Artificial Intelligence Players. This is an add-on module
for the door game, GANGLAND WARS, from Sunrise Door Software. AIP will add
10 New Computer Players to your game. AIP's help to create more interaction
between players and in the game overall.
REGISTRATION INFORMATION 5
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
None required! AIP is FREEWARE for those who have already REGISTERED
GANGLAND WARS. If you have NOT registered GANGLAND WARS, the GWAIP Module
will NOT work.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 6
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Same as GANGLAND WARS. Be sure for this module in particular that you have
SHARE.EXE loaded in your CONFIG.SYS.
INSTALLATION 7
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Edit the sample NAMES.TXT file. This file is the listing of names you wish
the AIP's to be called. The names you enter here will be what the players
go by in the game. You MUST enter a total of 10 names. Everything below
line 10 in this file is ignored.
Once you have edited your NAMES.TXT file, and configured your game for at
least 1 node, then type GWAIP INSTALL at the prompt. This will initialize
all AIP's and enter them into the game. You MUST run GANGCFG.EXE and
configure for node 1 BEFORE installing GWAIP as the AIP Module uses your
game configuration when ititializing and running GWAIP.
Once installed. Run GWAIP.EXE without any command line. This will allow
the players to play for that day.
That's it. You are done!
RUNNING THE PROGRAM 8
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This part is basically up to you. The program should be run each day,
anytime AFTER your GWMAINT.EXE is run. If you wish to run it right after
GWMAINT.EXE, that's fine or if you prefer, you can let some other players
play first and maybe run the program in an event at 12:00 noon. Whichever
works best for you.
The only thing you need to do when running the program for the day is call
GWAIP.EXE. Be sure that GWAIP.EXE resides in your main GANGLAND WARS
directory and is run from there.
My nightly batch file runs both:
NIGHT.BAT:
─────────
cd\doors\gangland
gwmaint
gwaip
cd\wildcat
UP AND RUNNING 9
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Once AIP is up and running, that's it. You will never have to worry about
it again. The AIP's will just continue to play along their merry little
way like good BBS callers :) They will play, win, get reset and start over
again.
If you wish to REMOVE the AIP's from your game....you will have to RESET
your game.
HOW AIP's WORK 10
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
AIP's do basically the same thing that users do in GANGLAND WARS.
6 AIP's play every day (picked randomly). No more than 2 player attacks
happen from all 6 of these each day as well. It wouldn't be fun for Mr.
Real Player if they were getting killed everyday either :)
ERROR AND OTHER PROBLEMS 11
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
If an ERROR occurs for some reason, GWAIP.EXE will simply exit. This
module has been tested extensively and ERROR's should not happen, but...
If one does, please let me know.
Other than that, be sure that you have first run GWAIP INSTALL, BEFORE
running the program by itself or you will for sure get an ERROR :)
