- ProLogon 2.0 by Steelflight
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- This ppe is supposed to work with Promatrix, but will work fine without it.
- The original idea came when i was stuck with a matrix and then nothing after
- that, so i decided to make this ppe. It is totally configureable, supports
- up to 20 different randomize logon screens, and works really well.
-
- Setup:
-
- Setup is fairly simple. Make a fresh directory, like C:\pcb\ppe\prologon or
- such. Unzip all the files into it. Change the following lines in your
- PCBTEXT.
-
-
- Line 92: !C:\PCB\PPE\PROLOGON\PASSFAIL.PPE_
- ^^^^^^^^ Or whatever path
-
- Line 148: !C:\PCB\PPE\PROLOGON\PROPASS.PPE_
- ^^^^^^^^ Or whatever path
-
- Line 259: !C:\PCB\PPE\PROLOGON\PROLOGON.PPE_
- ^^^^^^^^ Or whatever path
-
-
- Make sure Pcboard is set to allow one name users (G,C from PCBSETUP),
- and put a FAKE.PPE into PCBTEXT record #260. If you don't already
- have one made, it should consist of a single line: KBDSTUFF CHR(13).
-
- Detailed Config
-
- Prologon.Cnf: This file consists of 1 number. Line 1, the ONLY line, should
- simply have the number of logon screens to be displayed
- randomly. Make sure their is a LogonX.pcb and LogonX.cnf
- for each file, numbering must start with 1.
-
- Logon#.pcb: Ansi screen for Prologon. It should have a place for Handle
- and Password to be entered on it. (look at the example files.)
- THE FILE MUST NOT BE LONGER THEN 23 LINES!!! I cannot stress
- this enough. If the file is longer, it starts to scroll off
- the screen and a whole slew of positioning problems occur.
- Simply, make sure the ansis are 23 lines or less.
-
- Logon#.Cnf Config file. Each LogonX.pcb must have one of these to
- accompany it (with the same number. i.e., Logon7.pcb should
- have Logon7.cnf to accompany it) Example Logon1.cnf file:
-
- Sample .cnf file
- 56 ;line 1
- 11 ;line 2
- 56 ;line 3
- 12 ;line 4
- 1 ;line 5
-
- Line 1: X position of Username prompt
- This the X position (columns) of where to ask for the user's
- name. It should start no closer then 56 to the end. Prologon
- allows up to 24 characters to enter a handle. The longest
- handle i've ever seen has been 20 characters, so their
- should be no problems.
-
- Line 2: Y position of Username prompt
- The Y position (lines down) that it should ask for the user's
- name. This should not be over 23 lines down the screen, for
- obvious reasons. In summary, if you 'Don't get' this, it's
- like this. Somewhere in the ansi file (logonx.pcb) their
- should be someplace IN THE ANSI that has USERNAME written
- (look in the samples) and this is here so, if you want to
- add your own screens, you put the X and Y locations.
-
- Line 3: X position of Password prompt.
- Basically same as the Username prompt. As long as it
- doesn't start at like the 68th line, it should be ok
- (PCB only allows like a 10 or 12 character Password)
-
- Line 4: Y position of Password ask.
- Pretty much the same as line 2, except it should be where
- it the password prompt is (in most of the examples, 1 line
- down from the USERNAME prompt. Again, CHECK THE SAMPLES!
-
- Line 5: Which number logon screen it is.
- Simply put which logon screen it is (if it is logon1.pcb,
- it should be 1, if it is logon4.pcb, it should be 4, ect.)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In conclusion, just add all the screens you want to. Make sure they are
- no longer then 23 lines long. And make sure you have a CNF file for them.
- without the cnf file, you will have interesting (at best) results. Their
- is no registration, if you have any suggestions, i can be reached on CiP
- net. The program works perfectly with Promatrix, which was what it was
- designed with. I think the ppe is pretty kewl in that you can add your
- own logon screens, and configure them. I don't think any pcb logon ppe's
- do that (i could be wrong). Oh, last point, some people said the logon
- screens i included where 'gay' So feel free to go and change them!
