Planet Mongers Sysop Documentation
Page 1
Thank you for choosing to set up planet mongers on your BBS.
You will find that setting up this door will not be quite easy
but neither difficult.
Since you now have to UNREGISTERED version of this game door
you will only have the following abilities:
1) 25 Players Only at one time.
But if you register you will be allowed to
have up to one hundred!
2) ASCII only score bulletin.
With the registered version the program will
create an ascii and ansi version of the score
file. The score is used as a bulletin to
update players.
3) The Registration Screen
This will be removed if you purchase the
registered version.
4) 30-Day Inactive User Purge
The program will delete any users that
haven't used the door for 30 days. This will
insure that another users can play when
others don't call.
5) Hoy-Keyed Menus
The Player can press a key before the whole
entire menu is sent. This improves the speed
of the game.
Now that you know what you have you will want how to set it
up and what it is about.
Overall View
The setting of the game is in the future where the human
population has grown quite large and now live in most parts of
Planet Mongers Sysop Documentation

the galaxy.
The population is so large and the sections of the galaxy in
which they live is so different, that humans now consider
themselves a different race from other humans living in different
parts of the galaxy.
With these differences causes nationalism and imperialism
which now, have erupted into war between the human races.
Now, for control of the most territory the different races
of the galaxy now battle each other over the vast expanse of
space.
The goal of this game is to capture enough territory to own
most of the galaxy and then to destroy it ending, to feuds between
the races and finally end the chaos.
How to Setup Planet Mongers
Planet Mongers need the DORINFO1.DEF file that your bbs
creates before running a door. If your BBS can not create a
dorinfo1.def file, please try to find a door converter on any
good BBS. The dorinfo1.def file must be in the same directory as
the Planet Monger program.
Also, Planet Mongers needs a fossil driver to be loaded
before the loading of Planet Mongers. BNU is a perfect example
of this and should be included in the zip file in which you
received this game door.
Also, you should have ansi.sys (or a similarity) installed

in your config.sys.
Finally your computer must have a clock which keeps the
current date. This is needed for resetting turns everyday and
for the 30 day inactive user purge.
Here is an example of a batch file which copies the
DORINFO1.DEF file to the Planet Mongers directory then loads the
fossil driver, then the program itself, unloads the fossil driver
to conserve space, and finally copies the SCOREBUL.TXT to your
bulletin directory and then renames it to the appropriate name:
@echo off <--Hide Commands
copy c:\bbs\dorinfo1.def c:\planet <--Copies DORINFO1.DEF
cd\planet <--Changes to Door Directory
bnu <--Loads the fossil driver
monger <--Loads the door
bnu /u <--unloads the door
copy scorebul.txt c:\bbs <--Copies the Score File
cd\bbs <--Changes to BBS Directory
ren scorebul.txt bullet1.bul <--Renames score file to
bulletin file
