Node Number: This is the current node being edited for the BBS. If you have a multi-node system, set up one node, and just keep changing this number for each node or use the ] key (Next Node) from the setup menu. This nodes information will be duplicated for each subsequent node. Be sure to setup a NODE 0 for local use. (Dropfiletype = LOCAL) B. SysOp Name C. BBS Name D. Registration Number E. BBS Type This does not necessarily mean what software you run, but rather the type of dropfile used by your BBS. Choose the drop file type rather than the BBS Software. 1) DOORSYS (Using DOOR.SYS) 2) Phoenix (Using INFO.BBS) 3) TriBBS (Using TRIBBS.SYS) 4) WWIV (Using CHAIN.TXT) 5) 2am-bbs (Using JUMPER.DAT) 6) PCBoard12 (Using PCBOARD.SYS) 7) PCBoard14 (Using PCBOARD.SYS) 8) PCBoard15 (Using PCBOARD.SYS) 9) Spitfire (Using SFDOORS.DAT) A) Wildcat (Using CALLINFO.BBS) B) RBBS16+ (Using DORINFO1.DEF) C) RBBS16+ (Using DORINFOx.DEF) D) QBBS (Using DORINFO1.DEF) E) QBBS (Using DORINFOx.DEF) F) Local (Does not use drop file) F. BBS Drop File Path Set this to the path where your BBS creates its dropfile. NOTE: When typing in Drop File Path, be SPECIFIC. i.e.; for Wildcat use C:\WILDCAT\WCWORK\NODE1 for node 1 etc. G. Fossil This tells how to handle communications with your modem. You have three choices here: 1) Internal Com Routines 2) Using Standard Fossil Driver (BNU, X00) 3) Using Extended Fossil Driver (NOT recommended) 4) Digi Board H. Locked Baud Rate If you have the communications port locked on your BBS, then you must lock it here as well. If you do not, users could get booted, or lose some of the screens in the game. 1) 0 (Port Not Locked) 2) 2400 3) 9600 4) 14400 5) 19200 6) 38400 7) 57600 8) 64000 9) 115200 I. Comport This is where communications with the modem is passed. Most BBS software writes the COMport in the dropfile. If the COMport can't be found, this is where you will direct the communications. 1) Read Standard Com Port From The Drop File (Default) 2) Non-standard Comport (Set Port, Hex Address, Irq) 3) Set Com Port Number (NOT Recommended) NOTE: 2) Non-standard Comport - If you run a multi-node BBS with non-standard COM ports and IRQ's, or you use a DigiBoard, you can set them here. J. Status Line The status line is displayed on the local display only. ON or OFF. K. Use Direct Screen Writes Change this if you are having "bleeding" problems with the screen refreshing. YES or NO. (NO will run slower) L. User Access Level (Functional in Registered version only) UAL allows you to input a security level. Typically, this would be the HIGHEST BBS NON-SUBSCRIBER security level. Users with security level ABOVE this level would be allowed to play the registered version. Users with a security level EQUAL AND BELOW this level would only be allowed to play the non-registered version. NOTE: Security levels above the security level set here have unlimited play. NOTE: UAL does NOT work with drop file type PCBOARD.SYS. If you run a PCBoard BBS and choose a drop file type other than PCBOARD.SYS, and one that works with PCBOARD, UAL will then work. (DOOR.SYS is the suggested drop file type) NOTE: UAL.ANS is an ANSI screen, totally editable by you to say what you want. There are some restrictions, so a thorough test of the screen after editing is HIGHLY advisable. ]. Next Node [. Previous Node Q. Quit 6. Make your BBS Door batch file looking something like: SINGLE NODE SYSTEMS: @ECHO OFF C: CD C:\BBS\DOORS\TC <-- The path for Top Cop!

However; only required options are functional. There is NO daily maintenance. ╔════════════════════╗ ║█▓▒░ LOCAL PLAY ░▒▓█║ ╚════════════════════╝ Create a TC.0 node file with the attributes from node 1 except: BBSTYPE LOCAL LOCKBAUD 0 Typing TC /L at the DOS prompt will allow local play. If you use another Node for Local Play, then create that Nodes BBS TYPE as LOCAL and call Local Play by typing TC (and the Node #). i.e., Node 3 - BBS Type is LOCAL - Type TC 3 to run at DOS Prompt. NOTE: TC /L will still run local, BUT if you have a user on Node 0 and you use TC /L, there MAY be conflict. ╔════════════════════════╗ ║█▓▒░ ADD-ON MODULES ░▒▓█║ ╚════════════════════════╝ NOTE: AOMs from earlier versions will NOT operate with TC254. ONLY AOMs with v2.50 number or higher will work with TC254. Add-On Modules are executable programs that enchance the play of TC! Access to AOMs is limited within TC! No AOM may be duplicated. Any attempt to do so will result in failure of the duplicated AOM to run. AOMs are hidden features. They will NOT appear on any menu. Visit TOP COP! Web Site: topcop.home.ml.org (http://www. is NOT needed) to get the latest AOMs. The Alley Gone Fishin' The Black Market The Police Academy The Park The Health Club The Library Roadside UniSex Bathroom are current AOMs available as of the release date of TC254! However; we are diligently working on creating more. AOM SLOTS in the AOM Editor are available for registration. The AOMs themselves are free and can be switched out to allow some AOMs to be played registered and others to be played unregistered. See TC.REG for pricing of AOM SLOTS. The AOM Editor options are: 1. Add AOM 4. Install AOM 7. Switch AOMs 2. De-Activate AOM 5. Kill AOM 8. Test AOM 3. Edit AOM 6. Register SLOT 1. Add AOM: This allows adding an AOM. AOMs will be shipped with a name similar to AOM1.EXE with a control file called AOM1. TCC will automatically Add the AOM. The Sysop must INSTALL the AOM. 2. De-Activate AOM: This de-activates an AOM or removes the Menu and Key to invoke the AOM, thus, removing the AOM from play, but not removing it from the AOM Editor. 3. Edit AOM: This allows the Sysop to edit the location and the key to invoke the AOM. 4. Install AOM: This will install an AOM. When chosen, you will be presented with a list of 14 Top Cop! menus. Choose one. Then you will be presented with a list of possible Keys that can invoke the AOM. Choose the Key. 5. Kill AOM: This will remove the entry for that chosen AOM from the AOM list. This does NOT delete the .EXE from the hard drive. To Add AOM again, choose Add AOM. 6. Register Slot: This allows for the registration of the SLOT. ALL AOMs are FREE! The AOM will not run registered until the SLOT is registered. SLOT #0 is shipped registered. Registration Number: 1 7. Switch AOM: This allows the Sysop to SWITCH AOMs from an unregistered SLOT to a registered SLOT and vice versa. 8. Test AOM: This allows the Sysop to test and AOM. If the AOM is in an unregistered SLOT, then the AOM will run unregistered. To test the AOM as registered, SWITCH the AOM to a registered SLOT and the AOM will run registered. ╔═════════════════╗ ║█▓▒░ UPGRADE ░▒▓█║ ╚═════════════════╝ Version 2.52-2.53 to 2.54 * Unzip TC254.ZIP in Top Cop!

Player Editor is non-functional. You can only use the defaults. It is still possible to SEE the settings, but not change them. Each item is further defined when the item letter is pressed. These may be viewed with an unregistered copy. b. Advancement past the 3rd Level (Sergeant) is restricted. c. Registering the game enables both of the above and allows you to alter the game settings. ╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║█▓▒░ WHAT TO DO IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS ░▒▓█║ ╚══════════════════════════════════════════╝ Every effort is made to ensure that the game runs correctly before it is released. If you are experiencing problems, please do the following BEFORE calling me: 1. Read ALL of the TC.DOC to ensure you have setup the program and have met all the program requirements. ╔═══════════════════════╗ ║█▓▒░ MULTINODE USE ░▒▓█║ ╚═══════════════════════╝ This game supports multinode use and provides automatic multi-tasker support (time slice releasing) for a wide variety of multi-taskers. ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║█▓▒░ COMMON PROBLEMS (LOCKED BAUDS, HIGH SPEED MODEMS, ETC.) ░▒▓█║ ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ 1. A problem in catching the last Most Wanted since v2.51 has been seen. An option in the Editor on page 2 (press Z for page 2) has been installed. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 2.52, then you will need to utilize this option. But only once. This option however; is there for you to use at your discretion and can be used by both registered and unregistered versions. 2. The game does NOT require a fossil driver to run. (see #5) 3. If you are running a high speed modem (9600 baud or above), then I suggest you run your bbs/mailer/doors at a locked baud rate. On high speed error correcting modems, locking the baud rate will have a noticeable increase on the speed of text that is sent. It's beyond the scope of this document to discuss configuring your BBS and mailer for a locked baud rate. You may wish to consult those docs for information on that. Here are a few things to keep in mind when setting up TC with a fixed baud rate: a. I highly recommend using a FOSSIL driver when using a locked baud rate. This game will work at high speeds without one though. BNU is a good fossil driver which can even be loaded and unloaded before and after you run this game. b. If you are using a fossil, then make sure to tell the fossil that the port is locked. For BNU, to lock com1: at 38,400, you would use something like "L0=38400" on BNU's command line. c. If you lock the baud for one program, it must be locked for EVERYTHING. You can't lock the baud for just this game, and not your BBS/mailer. 4. What follows is some information on possible strange situations that may occur: a. Low speed users can play the game, but high speed users get garbage. * If you are not using the DORINFOx.DEF or DOOR.SYS dropfile, then you may wish to find a converter program to convert whatever dropfile your BBS produces to the DORINFOx.DEF or DOOR.SYS. * Several converter programs are readily available on most BBS systems. CallDoor is a good one. * If you are using something other than the DOOR.SYS dropfile, then I always suggest trying to use DOOR.SYS if possible. It is the most reliable method and has had the most testing. If that is not possible, try DORINFOx.DEF as an alternative. b. The game hangs up when a user enters the game. * Sounds like the game is getting the wrong baud rate somehow. Try switching over to the DOOR.SYS dropfile method if possible. c. Text and screens are getting cut off. * If you are running with a locked baud, then this could be caused by some sort of FLOW CONTROL problem. Try using a fossil if you aren't already. d. A door locks up node 1. This can happen with fossils. * This happens with fossils or the internal communications routines because it uses the default comport of 1 when NONE is found in the dropfile. Make sure the right port is shown in the dropfile. e. ANSI is reflected correctly on the local screen but the user is getting garbage. * Assuming the user has ANSI installed, then most likely the problem is at your end. Make sure the dropfile is passing the locked port rate INSTEAD of the actual connect rate. If it is not passing the locked port rate, then you may need to use a different dropfile format OR use a dropfile converter program to change the line to show the locked port rate INSTEAD of the actual connect rate. 5. Maximus BBS has reported a problem when using DOOR.SYS dropfile. There are no obvious reasons for this dropfile not to work, unless it is of an old style DOOR.SYS. However, DORINFOx.DEF works great with TC and Maximus BBS. 6. Some systems running through Win95 have reported problems. I have found that adding a fossil driver will allow TC! to run. I personally use BNU. It is by far the easiest to install and can be UNINSTALLED on exiting TC!. Place BNU.COM in a directory in your path statement or place BNU.COM in your TC! directory. BNU has many switches, however; I have not found the need to use any of them, though they can and should be used if necessary. Read BNU.DOC for details. (BNU170.ZIP) (Remember to edit your TCCTL.# files to reflect FOSSIL) a. Sample Batch file. C: CD C:\WILDCAT\DOORS\TOPCOP BNU TC.EXE %WCNODEID% BNU /U CD C:\WILDCAT 7. Some problems have been experience with the Most Wanted being reset. There is an option in the editor for a manual reset of the Most Wanted. The Most Wanted should reset automatically once this is done. Use this option wisely and infrequently. I would suggest waiting no more than one week of trying to catch that last MW before using this option. ╔══════════════════════════════╗ ║█▓▒░ CORRUPTED DATA FILES ░▒▓█║ ╚══════════════════════════════╝ It is possible that something could happen to your game data file. A power outage, game crash, or other event could damage the data files. If your game is unrecoverable then use the GAME RESET option in the editor. This option is available to both UNREGISTERD and REGISTERED. ╔═════════════════╗ ║█▓▒░ CREDITS ░▒▓█║ ╚═════════════════╝ The DDPlus Team - Thanks to Scott Baker, Steve Lorenz, Bob Dalton, Andy Stewart, Tom Morgan and other contributors for that great Turbo Pascal Door Kit.
