-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Yankees & Red Necks Version 1.05-=--==-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If you are installing this game for the first time follow the sysop.doc... There are too many bugs that we fixed in this version and to many new editions to even begin to mention. HOWEVER, the most important is that YOU MUST start from a clean slate in this version. [1] Cleaned up the [P]ost a note editor and added Word Wrap and other. [2] Added 18 different shields. [3] Added get a job function. [4] Added new command line switch (/PG18) [5] hot key from most any menu will now exit the menu. [6] Added Spinning cursor. [7] Added Total Kills and Runaways. [8] Added comma's to 4 or more digit numbers. [9] No longer case sensitive when playing local and entering sysop name. [10] Added automatic ansi detect and made it sysop configurable. [11] Raised the max number of healings from 200 to 1000. [12] Changed the level to level values. (softened up the game) [13] Added a ton of color to the attack screens and prompts. [14] added the number of levels to the end of the game, in the Training >Request a level. The game will now tell the user how many more levels. [15] Changed the way "Todays News" file(TNEWS.TXT) is written to. This should cut down on the problems that the multi-nodes were having. [16] Added color to the maintainance program. [17] Fixed the problem with Y&R locking up when callers drop carrier while in the door. [18] The Sewer Lid is now Sysop configurable. Number of random times that a caller will stumble on it can be set in the YANKRED.CFG file. Start a new directory and copy all the files from the archive into it. To put this in other terms: ERASE the old game or leave game running and start a new game(use different directory)! Run NEWEDIT.EXE and make the configuration file or just edit(with a text editor) the SAMPLE.CFG which should be then RENAMED to YANKRED.CFG. The sample.cfg is a commented file. If you are having a problem finding a command line that will work with your system try using the following command line with a fossil loaded such as BNU or X00: YANKRED F- [switches] See the SYSOP.DOC for more info on switches. These are different for each BBS type. Thats about it. Use YANKRED /L for local logons. Oh, PLEASE help us Up-Load "Yankees & Red Necks" EVERYWHERE! Thanks in advance. Happy gaming! Dave and I are now proud members of XERO Net International. This is a net that all sysops should carry. It is a relatively small net but, is really growing fast. We have a conference dedicated to "Yankees & Red Necks" on XERO Net. We both monitor the conference and make ourselves available at all times in the net. There are many other shareware authors that are part of this net. To include Seth Able(LORD) and Bill McPhail(USURPER USA). For more info on this net netmail Bob Hindal at FIDO 1:290/26 or at his BBS, Bear Facts II at (515) 287-2008. Nice job on the net Bob! ALWAYS call our BBS's for the very latest version!
