VaultBreaker Door v1.2
by: Terry West
Sysop, The Strawberry Patch BBS 606-432-0897
Vault Breaker is a PCBoard v14.5 door that was written using the
famous ProKit (v3.2) door routines.
Vault Breaker is a game door that allows the user 3 chances to break
the system 'Vault'. If the user breaks the vault, he/she wins a sysop
configurable amount of online time. Vault Breaker compensates for
systems running non-sliding events and will not let the user stay
past the scheduled event time.
The Door also displays the combination on the SysOp's local screen
for test purposes, etc. The user with be shown the combination after
they use up their 3 attempts. The combination is randomly generated,
so it'll be different each time the door is loaded.
Setup:
Edit the VLTBRK.CNF file to reflect your choices in how the door
operates. Here's a sample VLTBRK.CNF:
INTERRUPT
VAULT
30
10
3
BREAKERS
JOE USER
Where:
Line 1. This is the communications driver used by Prokit doors.
(HANDSHAKE, INTERRUPT, BIOS, PCBTRAP)
Line 2. The vault display file. The "G" version is no longer
required. Support for the PCBoard @Xhh color macros
has been added. You may want to customize this file
for your system.
Line 3. Number of minutes the user wins in they break the vault.
Line 4. Number of minutes user loses if they fail to break the vault.
Line 5. Maximun number for the combination. I suggest something low,
as the combination is 3 digits and is randomly selected.
Don't make it so tough that no one ever wins!
Line 6. This is the file that the door updates when a user breaks the
vault. The Door also writes to the caller's log when a user
wins.
Line 7. The name of the last person to break the Vault. This is for
display inside the door. In addition to winning online time,
the user now gets his/her name displayed until someone else
wins.
Edit the VLTBRK file to reflect your setup. Here's a sample:
@Echo Off
Cd\Pcb\Door\VltBrk
VltBrk VltBrk.Cnf C:\Pcb
Cd\Pcb
Board
Line 1. Turns the Echo off.
Line 2. Changes to the door directory.
Line 3. Starts the door.
Line 4. Switches back to the PCBoard directory.
Line 5. Restarts PCBoard.
Edit your DOORS.DAT file to reflect the new door and you're in
business!
Registration:
This one's free. If you like it (or hate it), leave me a comment.
I'm open to suggestions on future releases.
Release history:

Cosmetic Changes.
Door now displays the actual combination to the user after he/she
uses up all their guesses.
Door now displays the last winner. As a result, the configuration
file was modified. See sample VLTBRK.CNF in this archive.
v1.2 - 05/19/90
Eliminated the VAULTG file and replaced with a new VAULT file
containing the PCBoard v14.5 style @Xhh color codes.

fail to break the vault.
Recompiled with ProKit v3.2 (release) routines.
