- ─────────────────────────[ SYSOP'S DOCUMENTATION ]─────────────────────────
-
- SURVIVOR! is a multi-player tank warfare game set in the distant
- future. The game can handle up to 26 players. The door supports
- PCBoard 11.x, 11.8+ (both Com1 and Com2), Wildcat, RBBS, and BBS's that
- can generate DOOR.SYS files. It will also handle hi-speed modems with
- locked com-ports.
- This is made possible through an EXCELLENT door-writing utility
- called Door Source (C) written by Todd Miller.
- Thank you Todd!

- INSTALLATION:
-
- Make a directory on the drive of your choice, and unzip the archive.
- After un-zipping the archive, the easiest way to install the door is to run
- INSTALL.EXE. If you prefer not to, or can't use INSTALL.EXE then follow
- these steps:
-
- [1] Edit SURVIVOR.CTL. SURVIVOR.CTL is an ASCII file that contains
- nine sysop controlled options. List the file for complete details
- about each line. Until the door is registered, SURVIVOR will use
- default options.
-
- [2] Edit SURVIVOR.BAT SURVIVOR.BAT is an ASCII file that tells your BBS
- how to run the door. List the file for complete details.
-
- [3] Reset the data files by typing "MAPEDIT RESET".
-
-
- [4] Install the door in your BBS software according to the documentation
- for that software.
-
- MAINTENANCE:
-
- The door does it's own housekeeping. There is nothing further to do.
-
- REGISTRATION BENEFITS:
-
- [1] MAP EDITOR - Those that choose to register this door will receive a
- custom key that will allow them to create their own worlds, or edit
- Gamma world by running MAPEDIT.EXE. MAPEDIT must be in the same
- directory as the door itself.
-
- MAPEDIT will allow the sysop to edit the existing world, create new
- worlds from scratch, save the new worlds, and even print either a
- draft or finished copy of the world map.
-
- [2] SURVIVOR.CTL - Registered doors will use the values selected in this
- file to control many of the game options, including the map to be
- used during the game, the minimum and maximum number of mines and
- missles each tank can carry, the range each tank may travel, and
- the amount of damage each tank can absorb before being destroyed.
-
- [3] ADDITIONAL - Once registered, both the Warp command, and the Base
- command become functional. The Warp command allows a player to
- instantly transport a damaged tank back to command central for
- instant repairs. The Base command allows a player to switch their
- Command Central base to any of the bases they may have captured.
-
-
-
- All registered users will be entitled to free upgrades.
