RACE NOTES TEXT FILE If "Notes" are ON in the options menu, RACE will display a reminder note window when the active field in the user edit screen or the template configuration screen is user security or any one of the four security flags. In addition, the RA version will display a note window for the group field. Only notes that are properly identified in this file will cause a note window to pop up and display said notes. This allows you to have notes for the A flag, for example, but nothing else if that's all you need. There are 6 legal note field identifiers for the RA version and 5 for the QuickBBS version. They are: [AFLAG] [BFLAG] [CFLAG] [DFLAG] [SECURITY] [GROUP] Note that the [GROUP] field identifier has no effect in the QuickBBS version. These identifiers must appear like they appear above. i.e. Uppercase, in square brackets with no spaces whatsoever and flush left. The above identifiers are not flush left, making them inactive. Each identifer is then followed by your notes. An [END] identifier must follow your notes for each of the above primary identifiers. Comments are anything NOT between a [FieldID] and [END] markers, such as all this documentation text. You are allowed 8 lines of 60 chars for each set of notes in RA, and 8 lines of 50 chars in QuickBBS. RACE will simply truncate any excess in either direction. Blank lines are ok anywhere between the [FieldID] and [END] markers, but they will be displayed. The individual indentifier blocks may be in this file in any order. Place this file (RACENOTE.TXT) in the directory defined in Options.Paths as the RACE Directory. Remove these comments or place them at the end of the file once set up to help speed up access to each particular set of notes. *** Start of sample notes definition *** +------------------- 60 chars max for RA ------------------+ +---------------- 50 chars max for QuickBBS -----+ [AFLAG] This is displayed when moving into the A flag field. if using the QuickBBS version, you will note that the word "field." in the first line will be incomplete when the note window displays because the "d." exceeds the 50 character mark. [END] [BFLAG] This is displayed when moving into the B flag field. [END] [.CFLAG] C flag notes are disabled and no note window will pop up when entering the C flag field because [.CFLAG] does not meet the specs for a fieldID (because of the dot but any variation will do) preventing RACE from recognizing this identifier. Don't forget to do the same with the corresponding END marker. Alternately, you may just delete the [FieldID] and corresponding [END] from this file. [.END] [DFLAG] This is displayed when moving into the D flag field. [END] +------------------- 60 chars max for RA ------------------+ +---------------- 50 chars max for QuickBBS -----+ [SECURITY] This is displayed when moving into the security field. [END] [GROUP] This is displayed when moving into the Group field (RA only). [END]
