ROK: F.A.Q...
-=*=--=*=--=*=-
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that will hopefully
solve some problems that you may be experiencing with Realm of Kisom.
Question: "When a user tries to access ROK on my BBS, it doesn't do
anything, and simply returns them to the BBS!"
Answer : This is most likely caused by your ROK Batch file not executing
ROK properly.
{*} NOTE - ROK *might* not be getting enough Memory! Here's a
way to check if this is the problem: If, in the ROK
batch file, you have "@ECHO OFF", delete that, then
run ROK again. It should know show you what's going
on when it tries to execute ROK from your BBS. See
where it executes the command line - and if it says
something like: "Not enough memory to run program",
then that's the problem! :-) If you are unsure of
just how much Memory your BBS takes up, run MEM.EXE
in the batch file and see. Then, consult your BBS
Documentation for info on reducing memory usage. It
should then work for you. ROK automatically loads
most of it's files into EMS, if it's available.
Question: "ROK has the OnNow flag ON for a user who isn't even in the
game! Another user enters, challenges that person, and ROK
screws up there! Help!"
Answer : This error is caused by an Abnormal Exit from the game. Either
ROK had an error, a lock-up, power failure, etc. This does not
happen when a user drops carrier, though, ROK is smart that way.
For single-line systems, run NOW_OFF.EXE before ROK is ran. That
will make all players NOT online.
Question: "I cannot figure out how to pass the correct Node Number to the
batch file ROK command line! Help!"
Answer : Each BBS Software is different. Almost all of them use a symbol
to represent a Node Number. You will have to consult your BBS
Software Documentation to see how to do it. Sorry I can't be of
any more assistance in this area.
Question: "My registration code doesn't work! Help me out, please!"
Answer : Extensive testing has been done to ensure that your registration
code *should* work. However, if it does not, DON'T PANIC! :-)
Simply contact the me, and I'd be more than happy to help you out
with this problem.
Question: "I don't know how to change my US funds into Canadian Funds!"
Answer : Don't bother! I accept BOTH Canadian AND US Funds in registration
forms! In fact, we at BFS PREFER US funds!
Question: "I want to run Maintenance today - again!"
Answer : Simply run ROKMAINT.EXE, and that's all there is to it.
Question: "I have a bug report that isn't addressed anywhere in your ROK
documentation!"
Answer : Fabulous! Fill out BFS_BUGS.FRM. Send this to me. Please be
as clear as possible when explaining the report! Also, please
print, if you can, or write neatly! :)
I hope I have covered most of the topics here. If your question is not
addressed, then feel free to contact me.
Alternatively, you may call my BBS - The Inner City BBS, at 1-306-694-5864.
