BB-TopUl v0.6 beta
code: BiLBo BaGGins/M!^RNX
design: Shapechanger/DeZIGN
date: 04-04-95
You now have the Betatester-Archive of the newest BB-TopUl version. There
can be some bugs. If you find some, try to contact and tell me exactly where
the bugs happend. Thanks.
Information:
============
BB-TopUl shows the global TopUploader of all conferences.
The aim was to make it fast and use only a view amount of memory. Speed
depends very much on the speed of your harddrive, so it`s very good if you
run a cache program like DynamiCache. The use of memory is very little. That
is very important if you run a BBS with hundreds of users. If you have 500
users and want the Top 10 Uploaders, you only need 7100 Bytes for the datas
of the user. And that`s only needed during displaying/writing it. During
sorting, it only needs 4000 Bytes.
You can use the program as a door or a util. It detects if you run it as a
door from Tempest or from a Shell. If you run it as a util, it has some
neat features that help you running it in the Text-Welcome file(s) together
with other Bulletins. You can configure if you want screenclears, nonstop
showing, pause a the end or want to have appended it to the exisiting
Text-Welcome file(s) (no more need of joining).
Everything is done with a Config-File. So it`s easy to handle.
Installation:
=============
Copy BB-TopUl(.cfg) to Doors: or where you want.
Use as a door:
--------------
Edit the Text-Welcome files(s):
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
~TD(Doors:BB-TopUl)
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
Edit the Bulletins.opt file:
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
[20-,*,*,*,*] =3 |T-DOOR|Tempest:Doors/BB-TopUl
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
Use as a util:
--------------
Edit the Logoff-x.bat files(s):
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
Doors:BB-TopUl
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
Edit the Bulletins.opt file:
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
[20-,*,*,*,*] =3 |PRINT|Tempest:Bulletins/TopUploader.txt
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
Edit the BB-TopUl.cfg file:
---------------------------
Example with defaults:
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
10 // Number of entries to be displayed
1 // Output (1 <= output >= 2 )
1 // Design (1 <= design >= 3 )
0 // Screenclear at start (0=Yes, 1=No)
0 // Pause at end (0=Yes, 1=No)
0 // Show nonstop (0=Yes, 1=No) (only Util)
0 // File 0=New 1=Append (only Util)
Tempest:Accounts.data // Name of the Accounts.data (only Util)
T:Text.txt // Name of the outputfile (only Util)
--------------------------> cut here <--------------------------
1.line: The number of users you want to have displayed
2.line: The output you want to have.
1 for displaying it in 1 row
2 for displaying it in 2 rows
3.line: The Design you want to have.
0 for a random design
1 for a design by my own (looks like the Boss utils on /X)
2 for a design by my own (looks like the Pot-Noodle utils on /X)
3 for a design by Shapechanger/dEZIGN
4 will come soon as a design by Treach!/ArtCore
4.line: If you want a screenclear before displaying
0 for Yes
1 for No
5.line: If you want to have a Pause-Prompt after displaying
0 for Yes
1 for No
6.line: If you want to have it shown nonstop (ONLY UTIL)
0 for Yes
1 for No
That is very important if you join some Bulletins to one. As the
Nonstop command is a Toggle, you would turn it on/off everytime.
7.line: If you want to append it to an existing file (ONLY UTIL)
0 for creating a new file
1 for appending it to an existing file.
With that you can join it to an existing file. For example you first
create a Lastcaller Bulletin as Text-Welcome, you can than easy
append the TopUploaders to it.
8.line: Path and Name of the Accounts.data (ONLY UTIL)
9.line: Path and Name of the outputfile (ONLY UTIL)
Add a Banner in front:
----------------------
Just put it in the same dir as BB-TopUl and name it BB-TopUl.banner.
