YELL v1.0 Idea and programming iT! What, why and when? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, I hate to write docs. So I will not put my heart or brain into this one. Like I've ever put my brain into anything. Yell is a small program that gives the user 3 different ways to contact the sysop. It can play a module or sample, use the internal pager or write a comment to the sysop. I can't tell you why you should use Yell, I use it because I want the users to have an oppurtunity to contact me when I'm in other parts of the house. Even a sysop needs SOME sort of food now and then. Installation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The installation is simple, copy the files to their respective directories. You must have assigned dOORS: When you have copied the files, you have to configure the three config files. Logo.cfg -> The logo you want to use in Yell. I use my handle iT! Yell.cfg -> Full path and name on player and sample you want to use. Users.cfg -> Users that are allowed to use the YELL option if it non-public. The Yell.cfg consists of 3 lines -- Cut Here -- WB3.0:c2/Players/PLAY16 bbs:x-files.wav YES -- Cut Here -- Line 1 - The full path to the player you want to use Line 2 - The full path to the mod or sample that should be played Line 3 - Yell option public (YES/NO) New User Sysop Yell ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a smaller version to use in the newuser conference. I start it with the MCI command from BULL.TXt. The user can here YELL, Page or write a comment to the sysop. This one is still in the beta stadium and will in the final release give the sysop a wide range of different ways to use this one. I included it because I found it usefull and comments and ideas are very welcome. To start it with MCI ~CC_NUYELL Or copy, rename etc the NUYELL info icon as you like. Next version ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The next version will check if the sysop is online or not. And add the OLM command if he is online. * Make the yell option private so only a few users can use it. Also a ban users file will be included. Dunno.. Ideas?
