- 1. PREFACE
-
- Welcome to the land of Arrowbridge. This game is has evolved over seven years
- due to a passion that I have for medieval culture and lands of fantasy.
- Arrowbridge was first released to the public in early 1993 and has since grow
- in popularity. The game has been designed so as to allow the player to
- deviate from his/her normal life and enter a new world, one of excitement and
- mystique.

- 3. INTRODUCTION
-
- Arrowbridge is a ANSI Dungeons and Dragons style online game with over 230000
- locations, 40 dungeons, castles, cities, towns, armies, hundreds of monsters,
- special missions, magic items and much much more. Combat routines feature
- movable icons with ANSI graphics. The game is * BIG * and has been designed
- to present a SERIOUS challenge to all players - hints are available in all of
- the taverns, but note that the game is a "thinking person's game" and will
- take several months to complete due to the many complex puzzles that must be
- solved.
-
-
- 3.1 Operating Environment
-
- This version has been thoroughly tested on Remote Access V2.0x and PCBoard but
- should work on any BBS that creates a DORINFOx.DEF or DOOR.SYS file! Another
- important fact is that Arrowbridge will use a Fossil driver if it is resident
- in memory. Arrowbridge has been designed to run under MSDOS and 4DOS/NDOS but
- several bulletin board systems have reported success with OS/2.
-
-
- *** A note for MSDOS users ***
-
- Arrowbridge uses standard dos directory calls and has been known to pause
- (awaiting a keystroke) with some dos setups. The problem can be fixed by
- checking the autoexec.bat file for the following statement:
-
- SET DIRCMD=/P/A...etc
-
- The '/P' entry causes the directory listing to pause when the screen fills.
- This entry should be removed if Arrowbridge is to be used in an Inter-BBS mode
- of operation.
-
-
- A FOSSIL driver is required if you are using baud rates in excess of 9600 baud
- or if you have your system running at a locked baud rate. Arrowbridge should
- function with all fossils adopting the fossil standard, including X00 and BNU.
-
- Arrowbridge can also be played on a multi-node basis! Make sure that
- SHARE.EXE is resident if you intend to run several copies of Arrowbridge at
- once - failure to do this could result in file degradation.

- 4. INSTALLATION
-
- Installing Arrowbridge is very simple.
-
-
- A De-compress the file into a directory that is to contain all of the
- Arrowbridge files.
-
-
- B Set up a BBS door and batch file as follows:
-
-
- * REMOTE ACCESS & EZYCOM SYSTEMS
-
- Create a door exit (Type 7) in your BBS menu to run the Arrowbridge batch
- file that is to be created in the following step.
-
- eg. Command Line :
-
- *C /C C:\RA\ABRIDGE.BAT *M *N
-
- Create a batch file to run ABRIDGE with the BBS node number as a
- parameter.
-
- eg. Sample batch program for Remote Access (%1 = node number)
-
- COPY DORINFO1.DEF DORINFO%1.DEF
- CD \RA\ABRIDGE
- ABRIDGE.EXE /NODE%1
- CD \RA
-
- Note: Arrowbridge will look for RBBS compatible DORINFOx.DEF (where x=Node
- number) and DOOR.SYS drop files. Systems that only produce DORINFO1.DEF
- files must rename the file according to the current Line of the BBS as
- shown in the first line of the batch file above.
-
-
- * PCBOARD SYSTEMS
-
- Enable DOOR.SYS in the doors setup, call 'arrow' as your batch file
- Choose (S)wap out of PCB
-
- ----[ arrow - modify as necessary for your drive/path combo ]-----
- @echo off
- d:
- cd\abridge
- abridge.exe /node2
- c:
- cd\pcb\node2
- @echo off
- ------------------------
-
-
- D Run ABTOOLS SETUP & enter the information as describe in Section 5.
-
-
- E Change into the Arrowbridge directory that you have created and run
-
- ABTOOLS CREATE
-
- - 4 -
-
-
-
-
-
- This will create all of the files and the 'MAPS' directory necessary for
- Arrowbridge to run successfully.
-
-
- F You are ready to play! (Try ABRIDGE.EXE /LOCAL)

- 5. SETUP OPTIONS
-
- ABTOOLS SETUP allows you to customise the game as discussed below.
-
-
- 5.1 BBS Details
-
-
- * BBS Name
-
- This tells Arrowbridge what system name the game is registered to and the
- registration code is checked against that name. Note that the rego check is
- not case sensitive.
-
-
- * Sysop Name
-
- This tells Arrowbridge what sysop/user name the game is registered to and the
- registration code is also checked against that name. Once again, the rego
- check is not case sensitive.
-
-
- * Registration Code
-
- Enter your registration code here.
-
-
- * Drop File Type
-
- Arrowbridge supports two drop file types which are compatible with most BBS
- systems - DOOR.SYS and DORINFOx.DEF. Please select the drop file that is
- applicable to your BBS software.
-
-
- * Line Information (maximum of 9 lines)
-
- Each node of the BBS must be defined in the game setup. This is important so
- that Arrowbridge is able to lock the appropriate baud rate and can locate the
- drop file for that node. Each active node must enter the following
- information:
-
- Is the line active? - If the node is not used then it should be inactive
- Drop File Path - The full path of the drop file for that line
- Locked Baud - Enter the value of the locked baud rate (0=Not
- Locked). See section 6.1 for valid locked rates.
-
-
- 5.2 Game Options
-
-
- * Seasons follow date?
-
- If you wish the seasons to follow the current calendar date then answer 'Yes'.
- If not, the seasons will change monthly.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 6 -
-
-
-
-
-
- * Hemisphere (N/S)
-
- If you wish the seasons to follow the date then select the hemisphere you wish
- to follow. That is, in January, the northern hemisphere is in Winter and the
- southern hemisphere is in Summer.
-
-
- * Number of Characters per Player (default 4, maximum 9)
-
- Each player may be able to control up to nine separate characters. The
- default is set to four to enable each player to control a character of each of
- the four classes.
-
-
- * Maximum Time per Character (default 60 mins, maximum 199 mins)
-
- The time per character is determined by this setting. Note also that the time
- of day progresses in accordance to the time taken that day and the maximum
- time available. The result of setting this figure too large will be the fact
- that it remains sunrise/morning for too long and the day never progresses.
-
-
- * Number of Turns per Character (default 400, maximum 9999)
-
- The number of turns per character is determined by this setting. Note that
- this figure applies to Knights, Wizards and Rangers. The setting for Thieves
- is this figure multiplied by 1.5!
-
-
- * Display Rego Name?
-
- This determines if the Sysop or User Name that the game is registered to, is
- displayed when a user exits the game.
-
-
- 5.3 Inter-BBS Options
-
-
- * Mailer Type
-
- The front end mailer type must be defined as either:
-
- Frontdoor/D'Bridge
- Binkley
- None
-
- The "None" setting will produce a file in the OUTBOUND directory but it will
- not produce a .MSG file (used with other types of front end mailers).
-
-
- * League Tag
-
- The league tag is the individual Arrowbridge league identifier. I must be two
- characters in length. See the Inter-BBS sections for more information.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 7 -
-
-
-
-
- * BBS Address
-
- This is the address that is matched with the NODES.ABR file to determine if
- your system is operating in an Inter-BBS environment. See the Inter-BBS
- sections for more information.
-
-
- 5.4 Paths
-
-
- * Arrowbridge Path
-
- This is the full path that points to your Arrowbridge directory. It MUST be
- defined for successful operation. The trailing backslash (\) is optional.
-
- eg. C:\RA\ABRIDGE
-
-
- * Inbound File Path
-
- This is the full path that points to your inbound file directory and is only
- required if you are operating in Inter-BBS mode. The trailing backslash (\)
- is optional.
-
- eg. C:\FD\FILE
-
-
- * Outbound Mail Path
-
- This is the full path that points to your outbound mail directory and is only
- required if you are operating in Inter-BBS mode. The trailing backslash (\)
- is optional.
-
- eg. C:\FD\MAIL
-
-

-
- 6. COMMAND LINE SWITCHES
-
-
- 6.1. ABRIDGE.EXE [Command]
-
-
- /LOCAL Play Arrowbridge locally (Default Node 0 unless specified)
-
-
- /LOCKED=[baud] Lock the baud rate at 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200 or 38400.
- This function should be used if your modem uses a locked baud
- rate. If you wish to lock the rate at higher values then
- lock the rate at 38400 using the /locked=38400 switch and the
- fossil SHOULD automatically adjust this to the rate at which
- it itself is locked. This switch overrides the "line"
- options in SETUP and, in fact, is actually not required if
- the locked information has been entered into ABTOOLS SETUP.
-
- eg. /LOCKED=19200
-
-
- /NODEx Used for multi-node operation. "x" denotes the Line number
- of the BBS. The default value for remote operation is "1".
- Do NOT run multiple copies of Arrowbridge without using this
- switch!
-
-
- 6.2. ABTOOLS.EXE [Command]
-
-
- CREATE Create/reset Arrowbridge
-
-
- EDIT Delete players, Edit Names and move players back to the
- Arrowbridge castle. When players are deleted, a lower case
- 'x' shall appear in the player data file to indicate that the
- player no longer exists.
-
-
- INBOUND Processes inbound network files (Inter-BBS operation only).
- This will check the inbound directory for "ABxxyyzz.???"
- files where xx=League Tag (as per ABTOOLS SETUP), yy=Origin
- BBS System number, zz=Destination BBS System number,
- ???=unique file id and process these files.
-
-
- OUTBOUND Processes outbound network files (Inter-BBS operation only).
- New outbound files are created on a daily basis (soon to be
- configurable).
-
-
- SETUP Change game setup.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 9 -
-
-
-
-
-
- 7. SYSOP OPTIONS
-
-
- ALT-C - CHAT Mode
-
- Chat with users while online. ESC will abort the chat mode.
-
-
- ALT-F10 - Summon Zombre Bryan
-
- During gameplay, the sysop has the ability to summon Zombre Bryan by pressing
- ALT-F10. This will result in Zombre appearing in the next combat round and
- will most likely lead to the demise of the user online at the time. Note:
- Zombre will also appear randomly during the game!

- 8. INTER-BBS PLAY
-
- Arrowbridge can also be run on an Inter-BBS basis. At the moment, the
- following functions are supported :
-
-
- * A top 100 Inter-BBS player list featuring the top players based on their
- experience.
-
-
- * Send assassins to other systems to terminate players.
-
-
- * Send a Destructor to another system. This Destructor is a level 15 assassin
- which will attack all players on the destination BBS until it is destroyed.

-
-
-
-
- - 11 -
-
-
-
-
-
- 9. NODES.ABR
-
- In order start an Inter-BBS network, you must create a NODES.ABR file which
- will contain all of the network information for each BBS.
-
- Note: This version of Arrowbridge will only function with Frontdoor/D'Bridge &
- Binkley compatible front end mailers.
-
- Here is an example of a NODES.ABR file:
-
- (First line is shown on the line below)
- 1
- Arrow Entertainment System
- 3:711/520
-
- 2
- death by chocolate...
- 3:632/360
-
- 3
- Coastal Communications
- 3:411/906
-
- 4
- Fireburners BBS
- 1:3418/2
-
- etc.
-
- Note that there is a blank line after every system entry, a maximum of ninety-
- nine systems may be included and no point systems may be entered in the
- nodelist. Make sure the first line features the first system number.
-
- Ensure that the address of your system in the NODES.ABR file directly matches
- that contained in the SETUP options.
-
- Also, you must assign a League Tag, ie. a 2 character ID for your Arrowbridge
- league so that systems may run multiple leagues without contention. All
- systems in your league must have the same Tag entered in the ABTOOLS SETUP
- routine. If multiple leagues are to be run, then ensure that each Arrowbridge
- game runs ABTOOLS INBOUND & OUTBOUND from within each directory - failure to
- do this may result in network files being over-written by other league games.
-

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 12 -
-
-
-
-
-
- 10.ROUTE.ABR
-
- Outbound files may be routed via other systems by creating a ROUTE.ABR file.
- The file can contain the following statements:
-
- ROUTE * via [BBSNUM]
-
- eg. ROUTE * via 3
-
- This command will route ALL outbound files via the BBS [BBSNUM]. This command
- should be used typically in the first entry of the route file as it will
- override ALL previous entries.
-
- ROUTE [BBS#1] via [BBS#2]
-
- eg. ROUTE 6 via 2
-
- This command will route files for BBS#1 via BBS#2. Once again, this command
- will override all previous routing entries for BBS#1.
-
- Note that the routing commands will be processed in the order in which they
- appear. The "Route *..." command should appear on the first line of the
- routing file (if it is necessary) and then all exceptions should appear after.
-
- A sample file, ROUTE.SAM is available for further explanation.

-
- An Arrowbridge echo area is available on the Australian and US Fidonet
- backbones which will report all future releases of Arrowbridge, give plenty of
- hints and tips and allow you to let me know of bugs that you encounter. Any
- suggestions that you may have for the game would also be appreciated as the
- game functions are only limited by our imagination. Please keep in mind that
- I have to read through hundreds of messages per week and, as a result, I may
- not have enough time to reply to them all. I will do my best though!

- 14.THE FUTURE
-
- Ideas currently under consideration/development are:
-
-
- * An Arrowbridge Map editor (Under development and due early 1995)
-
-
- * Team Play
-
-
- * More inter-BBS options including army battles and messaging
-
-
- * More than 9 node maximum

- 15.MORE POPULARITY?
-
- In order to make Arrowbridge popular on your system, try the following:
-
-
- * Post the PROMO.ANS file in your daily bulletin - this file will let the
- users know (in bold ANSI) that you are running Arrowbridge!
-
-
- * Run a competition where the first person to reach a certain level in the
- game will be declared the winner and receive a prize
-
-
- * Avoid playing the game yourself - users are often disheartened by a sysop
- who is winning the game and can see every move they make
-
-
-
-
-
- Happy Arrowbridging !(??)
