TERRITORIES 2120 Sysop Prep Manual Authored by Jeffrey D. Hoffman. Copyright (c) 1996. All rights reserved. http://www.sharbor.com/rpgSoft/ Introduction TERRITORIES 2120 is a strategy-oriented, space-conquest simulation that pits players against one another. Players compete with one another in randomly-generated galaxies in an attempt to control all of the solar systems within the galaxy. Players accumulate points when they conquer a galaxy completely. In designing this product, one of our preliminary goals was to make the game playable with as few commands as possible. In fact, the entire game can be controlled through three commands. Game-play is simple, straight-forward, and extremely easy to learn. Addiction is a sure-thing. Installation Setting up the TERRITORIES software on your system is very easy. Follow these step-by-step instructions to complete the installation. 1. Create a subdirectory within your TBBS directory. This directory will hold the software and databases required to run this package. For the purposes of this section, we assume installation to the following path: C:\TBBS\T2120 2. Extract the contents of the T2120V10.ZIP file into the newly created subdirectory. C:\TBBS\T2120\> pkunzip t2120v10.zip 3. After a fresh extraction, you need to prepare the databases for a new game. Do so by executing the TRRAFORM.EXE program. Append a -CR-I flag onto the command line before executing. C:\TBBS\T2120\> trraform -cr-i 4. For proper game-play, the TRRAFORM.EXE file needs to be executed daily. Add the following lines to your BBS' external event batchfile. rem Perform daily maintenance on TERRITORIES 2120. rem LegendTASK. cd \tbbs\t2120 trraform (-i) Some Syops may want the Terraform software to regenerate the index files each night. The -I flag instructs Terraform to rebuild all indexes. 5. Modify your menu .SDL file and add the following lines: Entry: T -> TERRITORIES 2120 Priv=0 A1=-------- A2=-------- A3=-------- A4=-------- ANS=- IBM=- Key=T Type=200 Opt Data=c:\tbbs\t2120\2120 /Q Entry: K -> TERRITORIES 2120 KILL SHEET Priv=0 A1=-------- A2=-------- A3=-------- A4=-------- ANS=- IBM=- Key=K Type=1 Opt Data=c:\tbbs\t2120\scores.txt /Q 6. Compile the .SDL. 7. Run your BBS. Limitations of the demonstration version From a player's perspective, TERRITORIES 2120 is limit-free!
