- NECKTI V 1.2 Copyright 1992 Douglas DeLonay
-
- NECKTI is a shareware product. If you try it out and plan on using it a
- registration fee is required. For more information on registration go to the
- end of the file.
-
- Though I took care to see that this software is error free I can not be
- responsible for any damage that you believe is caused by your use of this
- software. All respnsibility lies with you the user of this product.
-
- NECKTI is a hangman type door. It is differant than all the rest I've
- seen in that it has it's own dictionairy, the players can have the computer
- pick a word from the dictionairy for them, or pick one themselves. If the user
- picks one him/her self they will have to keep entering words till they pick one
- thats in the dictionairy. They will get the option to have words that aren't in
- the dictionairy entered in the new word dictionairy, which can be merged with
- the verified word dictionairy or edited by using the utility that comes with
- the registered version.
-
- Also you can change the look of the hangman with your favorite ANSI editor if
- the default one isn't to your liking. There's eleven files for the hangman
- display.
- rightfot.ans last file to be displayed. shows whole body.
- Make this one first then edit this one to work
- down through the rest.
-
- leftfoot.ans whole body minus right foot.
-
- rightleg.ans leftfoot.ans minus the left foot.
-
- leftleg.ans rightleg.ans minus the right leg.
-
- rghthand.ans leftleg.ans minus the left leg.
-
- lefthand.ans rghthand.ans minus the right hand.
-
- rightarm.ans lefthand.ans minus the left hand.
-
- leftarm.ans rightarm.ans minus the right arm.
-
- body.ans leftarm.ans minus the left arm.
-
- neck.ans body.ans minus the body.
-
- head.ans neck.ans minus the neck.
-
- noose.ans just the noose.
-
- So it is fairly simple. just start with the top one in the above list and
- subject a part and rename the file along each step. Also remember to keep
- output length restricted to the left 40 colomns, and top 23 rows.
-
- As for the configuration file it can be used to control how long inactive
- users are kept in the users list. How long inactive games are kept in the game
- file. How many times a user can challenge the computer per turn. users can gain
- points to their total points score by playing against the computor. You can
- also determine how many words each player has to guess to constitute a game. So
- you determine how long each game will take to complete. Just make a file called
- NECKTI.CFG
- \rybbs\curruser.bbs ;path to curruser.bbs or dorinfo1.def
- 3 ;number of turns per game
- 7 ;number of days to keep inactive games
- 1 ;number of days to keep inactive users
- 2 ;times a user can challenge computer
- 2 ;total games a player be involved in
- The Home of ZIGGY's Stardust!! ;name of BBS
-
- NECKTI automatically looks for NECKTI.CFG when it is called, so make sure
- you don't change the name of the file. To call neckti first make sure all the
- NECKTI files are in the same directory, and call NECKTI from that directory.
- Also you need to have a ANSI.SYS driver loaded to use it.
-
- i.e.
- NECKTI.BAT
- @echo off
- cd\rybbs\doors\neckti
- neckti
- cd\rybbs
-
- It's that easy. Of coarse if you don't use RyBBS or RA you should have no
- problem finding a door converter to make either one for you. just make sure you
- run the converter and have the correct door file placed were your NECKTI.CFG
- file says it will be.
- You may also want to try my last caller lister. It is very versatile. can
- add comments, show user time on in military or 24 hour format, plus much more.
- You can always get a hold of the latest version on my BBS
- The Home of ZIGGY
- (414)264-3220 sorry only 2400 baud.
-
-
- Registration is $20 U.S. currency. For this you will get the most recent
- version of the program including an updated word file with many more words in
- it. The NECKUTIL program which will allow you to verify words in the newword
- file as correct before merging them to the main word file. Of coarse you'll
- need to register to be able to merge the 2 files also. It will also allow you
- to edit players stats such as points, games in etc. or start a new game. To
- do so in unregistered version just delete the neck*.dat files. send in the
- form below to register.
