Architecture: m68k-amigaos
Description:
Mad Virgin presents a new DayDream door
Must Read 1.0
---------------
Instalation:
------------
Just unpack archive and type 'INSTALL' and then add MustRead to your
External Commands.
Or manualy, create Doors:MV/MustRead directory and copy all files to it
(MV_MustRead needs mentioned directory for internal savings!!!)
Then add following line to your DayDream:Data/LogOnDoors.DAT file:
Doors:MV/MustRead/MustRead %N
(or, you may add to your DayDream:Display/YOUR_MODES/Welcome.GFX|TXT files
following line:
ÿDDoors:MV/MustRead/MustRead %N |USERS|
^
|__---> ASCII code 255 is default DayDream char for commands, see
CONTROLCHAR settings in main section of your DayDream configuration.
If you put this in Welcome.XXX don't forget |USERS| at the end of line.)
It is highly recomended :) to add following in your DayDream config
!EXTERNALCOMMANDS.DAT section :
+
DOOR_COMMAND.. MUSTREAD
DOOR_TYPE..... 1
DOOR_SECURITY. 255
DOOR_EXECUTE.. Doors:MV/MustRead/MustRead %N
DOOR_CONFS1... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
DOOR_CONFS2... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+
if you want to set events for users. Note, noone with access level under
255 would not be able to use this door in 'normal' mode, just in
"USERS" mode (if you want to test, you may type "MUSTREAD USERS" when
you are logged in)
USAGE:
------
For users :
Nothing, they just will be forced press some (randomly
selected) key to proceed with loging in.
For SysOp :
When you start this Door in SysOp mode (dd command "MustRead"
if you configured as mentioned) you will be able to add new
textfile.
If you want to display different files for ASCII/ANSI
users, you may create [basefilename].TXT and .GFX
versions, becouse depending on user's personal ANSI/ASCII
settings, MV_MustRead will first try to open
your_entered_filename.GFX or your_entered_filename.TXT and if
fail will put "your_entered_filename" to user's screen.
If you want to remove some event, you can do it in ASCII file
created by MV_MustRead as "Doors:MV/MustRead/Events.DAT" but
DO NOT DELETE LINE, but just type ------ in second field!!!!
i.e.
one line looks like this:
|00012|07555|DayDream:Announce/bla-bla-bla
and you want not to show this anymore you should edit as following
|00012|-----|DayDream:Announce/bla-bla-bla
in fact, just first dash is needed, but.. aeshtetic is important :>
As you see, config have format:
Event Nr | expire day | file to display
where expire day may have two special cases:
|-----| <- event is disabled
|00000| <- event will never expire
If you want to execute command instead of displaying text
you may use DayDream control codes (as for installing in
LogOnDoors.DAT).
Be carefull when instaling banners, becouse MV_MustRead will
not strip control codes from files.
MISC:
-----
If you are going to delete Doors:MV/MustRead/Events.DAT,
you MUST delete Doors:MV/MustRead/Users.DAT, or some
users will not see new issues!
If you want to skip or change ANSI [slowdown :) ] sequence,
you may add file
Doors:MV/MustRead/ANSI_ANIM
and MV_MustRead will put it to screen instead built-in
ansi-anim sequence.
