- ** Hacker v4.0 Sysop Docs **
-
- Part I: Phone books/hacking BBSes
-
- Currently, ARexx is limited to a maximum number of 999 when using random
- numbers, unless you use the randu() function which is a bitch, so I don't
- use it. This means that you cannot have a BBS more than 999 megs--local,
- government, or mainframe. Hopefully I can get a library written to up
- this limit, but currently, 999 is the limit.
-
- When hacking BBSes, they can be BUSY, or NO CARRIER--this is random. After
- you connect, one of two things is displayed: A. The opening screen to the
- BBS, or B: A generic opening. If you want, you can edit the local phone
- book to BBSes that are local to you, and buffer their opening screens for
- realism. You name the text file the name of the BBS EXACTLY as it appears
- in the phone book, and put it in the "MISC" directory. If that file exists,
- it is displayed. If it is not, "SYS.GENERIC" is displayed, also in the
- "MISC" directory.
-
-
- Part II: Menus
-
- The HAA menu, buy/sell terminal/hardware menu, virus menu, and main menu
- are all text files. The main menu and dialer menu closely resemble that of
- the AmigaDOS "LIST" command. You can edit these textfiles as you wish, but
- if you change the name of a command, you have to change the programming.
- All other "sys.__" files can be edited and customized to your own liking.
- However, I ask that you leave the "sys.start" basicaly alone.
-
-
- Part III: "RXX." Files
-
- The files in the MISC directory entitled "rxx.____" are all external rexx
- modules that the program calls. Please leave these alone! I don't want
- people complaining that their userfiles were erased due to the fact that
- they edited these. The only thing you should be playing around with are
- maybe the credit card names and hard drive/level names, but only play with
- the programming if you know what you are doing and am not going to complain
- to me as a result of your actions.
-
-
- Part IV: Resseting
-
- If for some reason you need to, feel like, have to, or want to reset the
- game and start over, here is what you should do:
-
- Delete everything in the BANK, MESSAGES, and PLAYERS directory.
-
- Leave everything else alone, and everything should re-create it's self and
- be dandy. Let me know if this is not the case..
-
-
- Thats about it. Let me know if you have any questions, comments,
- suggestions, bug reports, bomb threts, etc.
