**************************************************************************
This game has been around almost as long as I have! (Who knows,
maybe longer!). However, it is always fun to play, and was a fairly easy
"first" attempt at writing a door for Paragon/StarNet.
This distribution package should contain the following files:
1) HAM (the actual door)
2) HAM.DOC (the doc file)
3) HAM.CFG (configuration file)
4) HAM.TOP (blank top scores file)
5) READ.ME (this file)
There are a few very simple things you need to know about setting
up this door.
First of all, it DOES NOT need it's own subdirectory within the
DOORS directory of Paragon. The program wants itself and its files
located in the DOORS SUBDIRECTORY (whatever that is on your system).
The only exception to this is the TOP SCORES FILE.
SETTING UP THE TOP SCORES FILE
------------------------------
Many of you will want to put this file in the BULLETINS section
of your BBS, meaning the file will have to be in the BULL directory
(or whatever directory you have assigned bulletins to). What you
should do is COPY the HAM.TOP file into the appropriate area in the
bulletin board subdirectory. As an example:
copy ham.top dh0:bbs/bull/bul15.txt
This of course assumes you want to make the Hammurabi top scores
file BULLETIN 15. Once you have done this, you should use a text editor
to modify the HAM.CFG file. The file should look like this:
dh0:bbs/bull/bul00.txt
This is the NAME OF THE TOP SCORE file. Change it to whatever
you want it to be, AS LONG AS IT CORRESPONDS TO THE BULLETIN NUMBER ABOVE.
Hammurabi MUST have the blank file to begin with -- it CANNOT
create one if one does not exist. If you wish to change the bulletin
number, that's fine -- just make sure you change the HAM.CFG file.
(NOTE: Of course, the HAM.CFG file should ALWAYS be located in the
DOORS: directory).
NOTES ABOUT THE .CFG FILE
-------------------------
The DOOR directory and the BULLETINS directory MUST BE ON THE SAME
DISK DRIVE ... this is because the program simply RENAMES one file to
another, and unfortunately AmigaDOS is not smart enough to rename across
a device. THIS SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM FOR MOST PEOPLE. If it is, contact
me and we'll fix it.
There CANNOT BE ANY SPACES in the BULLETIN NAME. Again, this
should not be a problem.
That's about it!
This version SUPPORTS COLOR! YEAH!
POSSIBLE ENHANCEMENTS: Variable term in office (let you try to
manage a city for 50 years).
