I disabled OLM's in these areas. - If a user had all "startup" options disabled(no new log, no old log, no vanna pic, and no wheel requestor), you'd still be presented with a "<>" prompt. This has been fixed. - I spent some MORE time trying to find a place where the MUFFLING and/ or MONITORING wasn't being set back to the user's preferences and STILL cannot locate where this MIGHT be happening. Every test I've tried resets them back to what they were BEFORE the user played the game. If someone can reproduce this, PLEASE tell me WHICH module of the game you were using(ASC, ANS, or IBM), and EXACTLY WHERE YOU WERE when it occurred. - New Features: - I received a lot of feedback from user's who didn't like my idea of NOT allowing users with less than $100 to guess the puzzle, so I came up with an alternative for these people. If you want to guess the puzzle, but < $100, you'll be allowed to spin the Wheel, and if you get a FREE SPIN, LOSE TURN, SURPRISE, or BANKRUPT, then the game will allow you to attempt to guess the puzzle, but if a DOLLAR AMOUNT comes up, you'll have to EXIT the game! -- v6.43 -- - No such version. Skipped this, because of the NEW feature in the 6.44 version. @endnode @Node V642 "Version 6.42" -- v6.42 -- - Release Date: March 15, 1996! - Bug Squashes: - Modified to run on the early CNet, v4.xx versions, where the user's mailbox name changed to a hexadecimal format. @endnode @Node V641 "Version 6.41" -- v6.41-- - Release Date: August 6, 1995! - Bug Squashes: - The ANSI Module had a bug that would RESET the game prematurely when using the "Banker" mode of resetting the game. - The User Config file had a problem reading "unknown" keys that would produce an error when a user typed a key that wasn't supported. - Forgot to DELETE the NewPuz file if ALL the puzzles had been added by the SysOp, which resulted in the game constantly asking if you wanted to add puzzles. - The name "Pat" was hardcoded once in the Game modules, as well as on the graphical Vanna pictures, instead of using the configurable male host name. - The "?" (question mark) command would not operate in any of the game modules(while the / (unshifted question mark) did). - The PROGRAMMER's guide file stated incorrect data format strings for the Winner, BWinner, and Bwinners files. - The Install Script was slightly rewritten to only delete the three Game Modules(instead of ALL of them; including the H2H module). It also now renames your PuzData file, if it sees the existence of the Reg.Key file, so the smaller 350 puzzle file isn't written on top of your registered 2000+ file. - Looking to REPRODUCE this supposed bug: - Some of you were saying the MUFFLE/MONITOR status wasn't being set back to the user's default upon exiting the game, however I could not get this problem to show itself. The only thing I can think of is if a user was monitoring/muffling SPECIFIC ports, versus ALL ports, as the game will MUFFLE and UNMONITOR ALL ports, then revert to same. - Anything New This Version: - Afraid not. This is a maintenance release only, just to fix the bugs that were reported. I also made some small modifications to some of the routines, but nothing I can really state as being "new". :-) @endnode @Node V640 "Version 6.40" -- v6.40 -- - Release Date: July 2, 1995! - Bug Squashes: - (Star Gazer) If the SysOp was using a setting of Yes or No for the "Last Play Chance", instead of one of the "Wait x Hours" settings, the game module would tell the player they could play again in some odd number of hours, like -12 hours, etc. - (Elderron) My renaming of the loader file confused many of you, and as Eldo pointed out, my README file was still referring to the file as "WoFortune.Loader", instead of "Loader". I went through the whole README file and made sure to refer to the file using it's new name and location. - (Chuckie) told me about a problem in the ASCII game module if a player won the Bonus Round and specified they wished to be the first player of the new game. Due to a missing | character, the ASCII game would error out when it attempted to reload the game. - (The Manager) told me about problems in the Maint file relating to trying to delete files that weren't there, so I went in and added checks for file exists on ALL files that were to be deleted. - (Aunt Bea) alerted me to the fact I wasn't using the designated WOF path to create the "Install/" directory in the installation script. It now uses the same ENV variable used elsewhere in the script. - (Aunt Bea) also alerted me to the fact I forgot to include an ICON for the "WOF/" directory, which made trying to launch the install program from WorkBench a bit more of a chore. :-( - (Aunt Bea) If the user had designated values set for both game logs, wedge type and guess formatting AND had it set to VIEW Vanna's pic, it would be displayed and erased from the screen with no pauses, so I added a check that will put up the << Pat Is Waiting >> prompt if it is seen that this problem could occur. - Changes, Additions, etc. (In the order they were implemented): - (Star Gazer) was telling me that on his system, the screen clears directly after displaying of the "registered" graphic wedge, which made for reading the info on that screen(as well as the new Master display) difficult. The << Pat Is Waiting >> key was added here. - (Star Gazer) asked me if it would be possible to include a screen for use as a NEWS file to help promote game play, so I included a cross between the IBM Vanna pic and the IBM Wedge Graphic, along with some text taken from the FP-Logo program. It can be ADOPTED as a NEWS file now. - While updating the Maint module(see above), I decided to hardcode a launch string for the new HisEditor(History Editor), instead of referring to it as the "5th Registered Editor". - I also decided to change the looks of the different WHO displays to more effectively describe the action being performed. The SetUp program is now the only file using a VERSION number in the WHO display, as it's used to initially setup a NEW game of WOF, where this info IS of benefit to the display. Additions of launches of both the UserConfig and the new Grow file were also included, as well as calls to the upcoming History Editor(Registered Owners). - (Star Gazer) was asking me why the graphic border used in the Loader file was the same color as the background color(making the graphics invisible to ANSI and IBM-ANSI users). I told him I did it this way so the ASCII users would see some sort of frame around their use of the Loader as well, so I decided to alter the color of the graphics to make the look of the loader a bit different in this version! - (Star Gazer) also told me of another way CHEATING could be done in the game. If a pair of users worked together, it was possible for them to become Millionaires easily if they each created the next puzzle in the game, then told their partner what the puzzle was. I also linked this problem with another problem I had noticed dealing with the user creating the next puzzle. I'm referring to the player creating a puzzle that is clearly NOT an accepted puzzle, like using all the same letter, or creating a puzzle that was a message to some other player, etc. To combat both of these problems, I now included a small file called "Grow" which allows the SysOp to read puzzles from the "NewPuz" file, make changes needed for clarity, spelling, etc., then directly add them to their PuzData files. Winners of a regular WOF game are now told they can create a new puzzle, however it will NOT be used as the NEXT puzzle, but may be used at a LATER date. This will insure that the puzzle IS an acceptable puzzle, however it does put the burden of the task on the appointed Maint user. If a specified Maint user enters one of the game modules, and it is seen that a "NewPuz" file exists, they'll be asked if they wish to process User Created puzzles. You can choose to add them all, add only specific puzzles, or stop midway through(so you'd be asked about the remaining puzzles the next time you(or another user with Maint Access) entered a game module). @endnode @Node V639 "Version 6.39 BETA" -- v6.39 BETA -- - Release Date: June 25, 1995! - Bug Squashes: - A no-carrier miss occurred in the Bonus Round, when it asked the player to enter the 2 consonants/1 vowel. Endless loop resulted. - Reports of buffer overflow in the Bonus Round if a player ran out of time. Their last input caused the "press any key" prompt to be activated, thus the player couldn't read the game text that came next. Placed BUFFERFLUSH commands where appropriate. - Fixed the MORE routines. Previous versions had 2 routines that would turn OFF the More? prompt, then return it to the PLAYERS preset value(from their accounts). This caused grief in the areas of the game where the More? prompt WAS needed, yet the player had it set to OFF in their accounts. There are now THREE routines. One to turn it ON, another to turn it OFF and a third to reset it to the player's account setting. - In a previous version of the game, I updated the Error Checking Routines used, however I forgot to make them exit properly. This would cause a user's MUFFLE and MORE settings to NOT be reset properly in the event an error occurred in the game. - In the SetUp Module, the "Use Y as a Vowel" setting wasn't being used when creating the first game, so if the Y WAS to be used as a vowel, the gamedata file was set for it to be used as a conso- nant, which created an unsolvable puzzle for the first game on the bbs's that used it as a vowel. - Found a bug in the new Guess Formatting (Fill-In) sections where the port would lock up if the user typed more characters than there were in the puzzle they were trying to guess. (Now I'm GLAD I kept ahold of this version for awhile! :smile:) Thanks to Phil Steffan for spotting this bug(and TELLING me about it! :-) ) - Looking to REPRODUCE this bug: - Someone told me that players could REPLAY the game AFTER they had "lost" by using the "Y" command, followed by the "P" command to play. I've tried this in all three modules, but could not make it happen here. If someone can reproduce this, please let me know HOW you did it and in WHICH module. (The only time it DID happen here was once when the player hits the body guard in the groin!) - New Additions/Features/Options: (In the order they were implemented) - Decided to start completely over where the Millionaires were concerned! I've SPLIT the Millionaires into Regular Round and Bonus Round Millionaires. The "players" file received an extra value, so that each type of millionaire could have it's own "earned" value. - Something that appeared in the first 6.40 version(before my crash) was something I was calling a Billionaires Listing. This idea was slightly changed to form a Bankers Listing of All Time Best WOF Players. This listing can be viewed from the Hall of Fame screen. - From the Main Menu, the O and N commands(to view Game Logs) were combined to form the new V (for VIEW Logs) command. - A new S command (SEE Millionaires) was also added to the Main Menu. - The request that asked the player if they wished to view the list of Millionaires was modified to ask WHICH list they wish to view, including the new Bankers listing. - The "No One Yet" entry is now REMOVED from the Millionaires files once a REAL player has their info added to the file. - In the IBM-ANSI module, the picture of VANNA was made EXTERNAL to the game file. This allows it to be ABORTED by the user, if they don't wish to oogle-eye her! :smirk: - The "Spinning" Wheel Graphic in the ANSI and IBM-ANSI Game Modules was redrawn, so as to look REALLY GREAT! Two different versions are in place(an ANSI version, and an IBM version(which uses the graphic characters ANSI users may not be able to see)) - There is now a THIRD Wheel Graphic available! This one can be found in ALL THREE Game Modules. Now the ASCII users have an alternative to the Wedge Graphics. Called the "Quick" wheel, it simply flashes the wheel spots on top of one another(like you may have seen in those one-armed-bandit type games). - The SetUp, Maint and Config files were ALL updated to correctly use, setup or config the new files, features, values, etc. - There is now an EXTERNAL OLM Processor each Game Module can call on when sending OLM's. This feature allows the OLM's to be sent to ALL ports, without the player being LOCKED until each port can RECEIVE the OLM(as when ports are up/downloading, playing MUD, etc). The new file "OLM_Proc" simply hangs around in the background until the OLM can be sent, then unloads itself from memory. - I've also added COLOR to the OLM's(something I removed from the game awhile ago, as my knowledge of OLM's wasn't as great as it is now! hehe) You need to REMOVE the \@1 command from the END of line 920 in your BBSTEXT files if you'll be using the OLMs, else you'll SEE the MCI Color Codes, instead of them being interpreted!) - Each Module now has the ability to use specific Guess Puzzle formats that allow the player to type the ENTIRE puzzle string, or only the portions that NEED to be filled in. This is helpful for puzzles that contain punctuation a player may forget to type in, hence they'd make an incorrect guess. There are five formats to choose from: - Regular (Player types in the ENTIRE PUZZLE by hand) - Regular (but with On-Screen-Count-Down Timer as well) - Fill-In-Knowns (As the player is typing their guess, any previously guessed letters will automatically be printed to screen as the player comes to them.) - Fill-In-Holes (Before the player types their guess, all previously guessed letters will be printed to screen, then they'll be taken to the first "hole" that needs to be filled in, and proceeds accordingly.) - Ask Player (The player gets to CHOOSE format from a menu!) All four formats are available in the ANSI and IBM-ANSI Games, but only the Regular(No Timer) and Fill-In-Knowns formats are available in the ASCII Game Module. - All Game modules now read their version numbers and creation dates directly from the "WoFortune.Config" file. (However, internal version numbers are still in place, so you'll know you have the right version when updating) - The game can now be RESET automatically. This now gives the players a goal to work for. The SysOp has the ability to determine HOW the game should be reset. Four options available: - After a specified number of months(this option disables the ability for the players to become the next Master of the Game, however it still allows them to see how much they can wIN in the given amount of time!) - when player wins specified amount of money in REGULAR play. - When player wins specified amount of money in BONUS play. - When a player wins a specified amount of money in EITHER REGULAR or BONUS or BOTH(combined winnings). - In addition to the user's being automatically MUFFLED from receiving OLM's while in the game, if a user was MONITORING ports before they entered the game, monitoring will be DEACTIVATED. When they leave the game, their monitoring will be reactivated. - In the BONUS Round, before players specify additional letters, they will be shown the puzzle with the pre-given R-S-T-N-L-E letters already filled in. (This was done to match the way the TV Show does it! Makes the player's choice a little easier too!) - Also in the BONUS Round, the player can now choose THREE consonants, instead of TWO. (Again, just like the way the TV Show does it!) - I slightly redrew the Main Menu of the screen to make room for a new line telling the player who the current MASTER of the game is. - Due to the increased use of the MAYGETCHAR command in the new Guess Formatting routines, I had to rewrite the NOCARRIER routine. This new routine seems to function a bit better than previous versions. - Well, I finally took the time to convert the 20 IBM-ANSI Graphic Prizes into ANSI and ASCII versions as well. In addition, I also created ANSI and ASCII versions of the Vanna picture, although I really do NOT like the looks of the ASCII version. - The game now uses a "Prize History", which is viewable from the Your Status screen. This history will list Bonus Prize Money, SysOp Prize(Minutes/Points/ByteCredits/FileCredits), Smart Bonus Money, as well as the Graphic Prize that was won. This history file is stored in the user's UUCP Mail Directory, so that if they ever get purged from your system, this file will also get purged. - To combat the "too many initial questions" complaint, I've written a User Config file for the PLAYERS. Each player can now specify how they wish 14 separate items to be set concerning the game. Now, they'll only be ASKED the questions if THEY want them asked, instead how the SysOp happens to have it set up. (There will still be some sysOp control as to which options a player CAN and CANNOT edit). - I slightly changed the look of the "Reg" graphics for registered WOF SysOps to also include the name of the current WOF Master. (This is what Pat meant by "immortalizing" their name!) Updated the Reg.Reg Editor while I was at it(one less registered file I'll have to worry about updating down the line!) - Created separate ASC, ANS and IBM versions of graphic screens to let the user's know the game is either CLOSED or BUSY. - The above graphics, in addition to the three new Vanna Pictures are stored in a new directory called Graphics/ inside the main WoFortune directory. (This WAS the Prizes/ directory found in the last version of the game, so the directory also contains the 60 prize graphic screens(20 each of ASC, ANS and IBM)). - Expanded upon the "hidden" SysOp-Only command, so it does different things in different parts of the bbs. You'll have to play around to see if you can discover what it does in various places! (:smirk:) - Began to weed out various now-unused variables from the main WOF Config file(as they're now stored individually in the user's own config file). Getting ready to rewrite the SysOp Config Program this weekend. (This should be a major pain in the butt!) :-( - New CONFIG file is finished. - WOF now uses Commodore's Installer program for installing and/or upgrading from previous versions. Took awhile to learn the LISP language the Installer interprets, but I think it's worth the wait! - All Documentation used in WOF now uses AmigaGuide format, as well as the standard text format! These files are now housed in a new directory called "Guides/" which resides inside the specified WOF storage path. (Hey, what can I say, I learned an AWFUL LOT with this version!) - Removed the individual CLOSED statuses from the config file. Now, only the "Close Wheel of Fortune" option remains, as when I got to thinking about it, it was really just ME that used that feature. - Romoved usages of the || concat pair wherever I could, as they are really not needed, unless under certain circumstances(where they were left intact). - Added the ability for the last player to play again after either 6, 12, 18 or 24 hours of non-play by other players. Slightly changed the "Play Again Chance" option in CONFIG to allow for the new "hourly" wait limits. - Added another way to reset the game! It's now possible to reset the game whenever a player earns enough money to become the next Banker of the game. - In the CONFIG file, I changed numerous usages of ANSI-Color coding into synonymous MCI coding, as I saw it took fewer keystrokes to do it using the MCI's than it did using ANSI's. A similar change concerning using the WORD() command, instead of the SUBWORD() command was also made. These changes slightly increased the speed at which the CONFIG file now loads and runs at. - In the loader module, I added checks to make sure a particular game module had been installed, before allowing the user to play that module. - Also in the loader, I added some better support for when the last player attempts to play again. They'll be told they were the last player and will be given a slightly different load request, which will default to NOT loading the game again. Also, if the SysOp is using a time-limit between plays, the user will be told how many hours until they can play again. - Lastly, the loader module has been moved into the designated WOF storage path, and has been renamed from "WoFortune.Loader" to just "Loader". @endnode @Node V63C "Version 6.3c" -- v6.3c -- - Bug Fixes: - In the Bonus Round, it was discovered that when it asked you to enter 2 additional consonants, that it was possible to enter one or more VOWELS instead. A similar problem existed with the question asking for another vowel, as it was possible to enter a CONSONANT instead. This bug existed in ALL THREE modules. - Thanks to Jason Richards, aka Lynx of Euphoric Connections BBS for alerting me to this bug! - Released as a partial "bug-fix" archive, containing only the 3 updated "Game." modules, as well as this updated HISTORY file. - Release Date: November 5, 1994! @endnode @Node V63B "Version 6.3b" -- v6.3b -- [ Future World Release! ] - Bug Fixes: - The "IBM" module had a bug in the new "Millionaires" section that incorrectly stored the data in the "Millionaires" file. This had the result of users being listed as "Billionaires" before they should have been. - The "ASC" module had a bug in the GENERATE routine that would not replace the authors names with the selected authors if it happened to be a hardcoded "Pat & Vanna" puzzle. - The "Smart Bonus Letters" wasn't correctly checking for validity in ANY of the files, meaning even if the user chose three different letters, if they guessed the Bonus Puzzle correctly, they were also given the Smart Bonus Prize, when they shouldn't have been. - If a user sent you an OLM while in the game, and you chose to NOT muffle all ports, sometimes this OLM would pop up as you were in the process of GUESSING the puzzle, which made for trying to type in your guess a messy affair. This has been corrected. The OLM will interrupt AFTER you have made your guess. - Dates appearing in the range 1st through 9th of any month were being displayed as 01, 02, etc. in the Loader module. This was fixed. - New Enhancements/Changes: - The Millionaires addition received some slight improvements in that the file is now sorted first by those users who earned the most money, then by the date in which they did so. - I inserted my newest versions of the Error Checking routines into all command files. This means the file "wof.errors" is no longer being used. (Delete this file, if you see it in your WoFortune/ directory). The new routines now print COMPLETE information right to your "calls" or "ArexxSays" logs. - The "E"rrors Log maintenance command was removed from the menu and each modules coding, as that file is no longer being used. - All occurrances of ANSI-Color Commands in both the ANSI and IBM- ANSI Modules were converted to MCI-Color Commands in preparation for the newest Registered Utility, which allows you to CHANGE the COLORS that are used in those two modules, as well as the Loader. - The "Register.Viewer" received an update, as well as the "Register/" directory. There are now MANY files to look at to peak your wanting to register this game. :-) - Release Date: September 5, 1994! @endnode @Node V63A "Version 6.3a" -- v6.3a -- [ Future World Release! ] - Bug Fixes: - Some MORE and MUFFLE changes were made to revert back to previous settings if the user tried to play the game when someone else was already playing. Now the user exits the game with the same settings they had when they entered the game. - New Enhancements/Changes: - The CONFIG file now has a few more features: - Ability to use the letter "Y" as a VOWEL if you want to. - You can now specify the NAMES of the HOSTS of the game, as some of you were telling me there were different hosts in different parts of the world. You can now specify WHO you wish to host the game. ALL REFERENCES to these hosts will be changed. The "Key" fields were also given some templates which can be used to insert the correct Host names. - There is now a "Millionaire's Listing" for those players who accumulate more than $1,000,000 dollars in either Regular or Bonus Monies. Their accounts will be deducted by $1,000,000 and their names will be added to the Millionaires Listing. The MEG List is hard-coded to be 15 entries long, as this file will NOT be changed very often. - You can specify whether or not you wish the "MEG List" to be shown right after the title screen, but before the Main Menu. If you specify NOT to display it upon entry into the game, the user can still view the listing from inside the Hall of Fame screen. - The "Hall of Fame", "Player Status", "Last Puzzles", and "Last Bonus Puzzles" screens all received an updated look, so that they fit in with the new look given the "Millionaires Listing". - The IBM-ANSI version was given a NICE looking IBM-ANSI Vanna! It took me awhile, but I'm pretty comfortable with how it looks. I may or may not convert it to ANSI and include it in the ANSI module sometime down the road. In addition, the "Show Vanna" option received 2 age restrictions, so now you have settings of: No, Yes, Age14, and Age16 before Vanna is displayed. - The IBM-ANSI version also received 20 Color/Graphic Prizes to be given in addition to the Bonus Money when a user success- fully answers a Bonus Round question. - You can now optionally tell the user what the Bonus Puzzle was: Never, only if TIME ran out, only if they GUESSED WRONG, or in either of these events. - The opening puzzle shown on the Title Screen in all three of the Game Modules has been changed. For those who weren't able to figure out the first one, it was "Robert Redford". See if you can figure out what this NEW one is. Also, on the new VANNA IBM-ANSI Pic(in the Game.IBM Module), there is yet ANOTHER puzzle for you to try and figure out. Have FUN! hehe - The proposed THIRD Wheel Layout is still on hold, as I am still playing around with the animation of it. [To give you at least an idea of what it is, I'm trying to MERGE the "Spinning" graphics directly into the main Game Play screen, so that you don't have to have all those screen clears every time you go to SPIN the wheel. Hopefully, I'll put the finishing touches on it soon! :-) ] - Release Date: June 6, 1994! @endnode @Node V63 "Version 6.3" -- v6.3 -- [ Registered Loader Release ] - The LOADER received changes to allow it to load the Stages area of the Registered Head-2-Head module. Nothing else was changed in the Single Player game version. - Release Date: April 30, 1994 REGISTERED SysOps Only! @endnode @Node V62D "Version 6.2d" -- v6.2d -- [ Future World Release! ] - Bug Fixes: - Some reworkings of the MORE? killing have hopefully disabled the More? prompt ONLY when NEEDED. (For instance, NOT when viewing the Logs, Instructions, etc.) - The OLM routine that accompanied the MUFFLING addition of the v6.2b needed some work, as I didn't like the idea of the Broad Cast OLM's having a "Respond" prompt. I also noticed a BIG, BIG problem if WOF tried to send an OLM to a port of a user that was doing a file transfer. Now, the program sends Broadcast System Messages(without "Respond" prompts), and will SKIP any port that is Idle, Offline, or doing a file transfer! - New Enhancements/Changes: - You ever have one of those "enlightening" days where you could hit yourself over the head with a 2x4 for not seeing an EASIER way to do something? Well, I did, thanks to one of my users: The WOF Game no longer uses those ARBITRARY values for the timers, which could CHANGE, depending on the CPU being used! All "timer" variables now use SECONDS values, instead of odd- ball arbitrary values, so if you specify "20" for the Bonus Timer(watch this) it means: "Give 20 Seconds to Solve BONUS"! Wow, neat, huh?!?! (Jeesh! *POW* Upside the head w/ a 2x4!) - The "Spin" delay used for the Spinning Wheel Graphic uses a value of 1/50th seconds, where "50" would mean 1 Second between each "click" of the wheel! Also, the Spinning graphic will now only spin around 2 or 3 times, before hitting, instead of 4 or 5 times as in previous versions! - Broadcast System OLM's are also sent whenever a user Solves the Regular Puzzle and the Bonus Puzzle. These OLM's are only sent if you have "Send OLM's" in config set to "Yes" or "Ask" and the USER states "Yes", so if you DON'T want to use these new OLM's, you don't HAVE to. - Some final color changes were made to make all areas of the Game look and feel the same as in all other areas in the game. - Public Release: January 8, 1994 (on Future World that is!) @endnode @Node V62C "Version 6.2c" -- v6.2c -- [This version NOT released on Future World; Frontiers ONLY!] [Want to make sure the "little" bugs are found/fixed first!] - Bug Fixes: - Due to unexplainable crashes on 040 machines, I have decided to change all uses of the {$ } MCI Command into ADDRESS COMMAND lines directly. This should put to rest, once and for all, the DOS call problems experienced on 040 machines! - Release Date: December 31, 1993! @endnode @Node V62B "Version 6.2b" -- v6.2b -- [This version NOT released on Future World; Frontiers ONLY!] [Want to make sure the "little" bugs are found/fixed first!] - Bug Fixes: - I declared war on the "More?" prompt, and I think I was the victor! I had to add two small routines to each file that will selectively kill the "More?" prompt as needed. - I adjusted the screen positioning of the Error Routine in the WOF Config file, so as not to print right on top of the actual Config screen(in case there was something you wanted to jot down or something) - The "Register.Viewer" file wasn't using the "dfile" variable, so would crash if you were storing the files somewhere other than in "pfiles:WoFortune/". - I made some slight modifications to the {$ } commands that will hopefully get them running better under the 040's. - New Enhancements/Changes: - I noticed there were a couple places that an OLM could creep in on you, while playing the game(like when you were trying to guess the puzzle, or play the Bonus Round), so I included a routine to MUFFLE all ports, if not already muffled. The new routine also has the power to send a Broadcast OLM to everyone else online telling them you won't be able to receive their OLM's, until after you have finished playing.(Instead of you looking like you're impolite or something! hehe) This routine is skipped if the user has already muffled everybody out, and is configurable as to whether you wish to send the OLM or not. It is also a Tri-State variable, allowing the USER to choose if they wish to send the OLM themselves. - The new [U]se Previous Funds command was moved slightly on the screen in anticipation for a new Wheel Layout due in v6.3! - It is now possible to use the ? symbol as a HIDE character, as I found there were a lot of users who liked being able to use the ? symbol. I don't believe this will cause any problems with any of the puzzles. - Release Date: December 31, 1993! @endnode @Node V62A "Version 6.2a" -- v6.2a -- [This version NOT released on Future World; Frontiers ONLY!] [Want to make sure the "little" bugs are found/fixed first!] - Bug Fixes: - Well, it turns out there WAS a bug in 6.1 that I wasn't aware of until one of you alerted me to it(Thanks to Mike Rudolph!). It seems I wasn't checking to make sure that the user who used the "M"(Maintenance) command had MAINT ACCESS. In other words, it didn't matter HOW you had your "Maint Access" set in the WOF Config, ANYONE who pressed "M" would be taken into the Maint Menu. How'd THAT one get by us guys?!? Could have been lethal! - Release Date: December 28, 1993! @endnode @Node V62 "Version 6.2" -- v6.2 -- [This version NOT released on Future World; Frontiers ONLY!] [Want to make sure the "little" bugs are found/fixed first!] - Bug Fixes? - There were really no bugs to speak of in the last version, except for an incorrect version string in the 6.1 Config File. It still said it was 6.0c, yet it contained one more line than the actual 6.0c version config. - Lots more goodies were added, as follows: - A lot of people were really mad at me for removing the online counter from the Bonus Rounds, so it's back, but this time it's part of the Config. If you WANT to use it, enable it through the Config Program! - Still more people were confused, dismayed, mad, etc. at the new Last Player checking I included. I made this a Configurable setting as well. Simple checking will only check Handle & SID, while Complex checking checks everything. I also reworded the Game Text to more fully explain WHY the user can't play again. - The "Which CNet Version" question was REMOVED from the Config program. It now checks your CNet version itself! - The following received "tri-state" logic entries to include a setting to "Ask the User". This puts the decision to the USER, instead of to the SYSOP: - Show OLD Game Log - Show NEW Game Log - ANS Wheel Graphics - IBM Wheel Graphics - Smart Bonus Letters - Show Bonus Timer - You can now specify THREE(3) Custom SURPRISES to appear on the Wheel. These 3, along with the 3 hardcoded Surprises allows the game to randomly select 1 of 6 different Surprises when that spot is hit on the wheel. You can choose to give the user Time, Game Points, Byte Credits, File Credits, or specify one of the Game's three hardcoded choices: Money, Free Vowel, Free Spin. Infinite Amounts are also taken into consideration when issuing the Surprises! - A "Smart Bonus" Prize setting is included as a BONUS Prize to the existing Prize if the user selects at least ONE of the GIVEN letters for one of their ADDITIONAL Letters. Since doing this makes the Bonus Puzzle tougher to solve, I thought I'd include a way to reward those who could solve the puzzle with the LEAST amount of help. - The "Use Banked $" setting allows you to specify whether or not a user can use $300 from their PREVIOUS WINNINGS for the Current Game. The user can only take this money ONCE per turn, MUST have at least 300 dollars of PREVIOUS WINNINGS, and must have LESS than 300 dollars in CURRENT MONEY, before they are allowed to "Use" some of their Banked(Previous) Money! - An option to close "ALL" the Modules was included both as an easier way of shutting the WHOLE program down, as well as a way of allowing you to close certain modules down for editing, while still keeping others open for play.(You now no longer have to remember WHICH Module you closed for editing when you decided to close the WHOLE game down for some reason) - The 3 Bonus Timer amounts received an extra digit to play around with, as some of the 030/040 users were saying 9999 wasn't quite large enough for their purposes. - When editing the Hide Characters, the following characters are NOT allowed for use as Hide Characters: - , . ! ? ' ` These characters are not allowed as Hide Characters, because some of the puzzles use one or more of these characters in their texts, which could make it confusing for the player trying to solve the puzzle! - The Loader Window received a couple small text changes, like the inclusion of the Total Number of Puzzles you have, as well as some small color changes. - When the LOGS are being saved, you are now told WHICH Logs are being saved, instead of seeing the same prompt twice on the screen, but for two different reasons. - Release Date: December 25, 1993! @endnode @Node V61A "Version 6.1a" -- v6.1a -- - Never officially released. @endnode @Node V61 "Version 6.1" -- v6.1 -- - More Bug Fixes: - When playing the BONUS Round, after typing your two consonants and one vowel, the actual BONUS Round Screen was not displaying the correct chosen letters, and it wasn't giving you the vowel you asked for if it was found in the puzzle. - Some spelling/typo errors corrected. - Changes/Additions/etc. - The CONFIG file was completely rewritten, as I added NUMEROUS things to this file, as follows: - When editing the "press any key" prompts, the file will now show you how the key will look and act, so you can see if it does what you want it to. - A "LOCAL" slowdown variable was added when using the Spinning Wheel Graphics, as some SysOps running 030/040 boards were finding that the 14.4 setting was still not enough time for THEM to enjoy playing the BONUS Round, but by changing the 14.4 setting, the REAL 14400 users were being given TOO MUCH TIME. - A "cpu" setting is included to help pick the right timing vars. - There are now three Bonus Timer settings for slower cpu's, faster cpu's and LOCAL Mode cpu's. - The PRIZES have received a GREAT enhancement, because you can now offer two alternative prizes for each puzzle. These "other" prizes are only used if the current winner is found to have an infinite amount of the present prize. For instance, if your prize was 15 minutes, but the user who won has infinite time, then the 2nd alternate prize would be used instead. If the user has an infinite amount of the 2nd prize, then the 3rd prize is used, but if they also have an infinite amount of the 3rd prize, then NO PRIZE will be given. You can specify two alternate prizes for both Regular AND Bonus Puzzle Winners. I believe NOW you have the ability to make sure EVERYBODY can win SOMETHING besides a "pat on the back". - Due to numerous feedback/mail messages concerning this, I decided to completely remove the "on screen" count-down timers used in the ANSI and IBM-ANSI versions of the Bonus Round. They now ALL perform as the ASCII version has in the past. With the removal of this coding, the timer values should be DOUBLED from those you used in the past, because now the cpu doesn't have to worry about constantly updating the time on screen. If you were one who kind of liked the "on-screen" counters, let me know. Who knows, I might add it into the CONFIG later on again. - It is now 100% safe to RUN any of the Game files as stand-alone files when run on MULTI-LINE Systems. Coding was added to each "Game." Module that checks both Open/Closed status, as well as Port Use status. It is now IMPOSSIBLE for more than one copy of ANY WOF Game Module to be used by MORE THAN ONE PORT. - The "Puzzle Shuffle" routine now uses the RANDU() function, instead of the RANDOM() function. This insures that if you have over 1000 Puzzles on file, that you won't be visited my 'ol Mr. *BOOM*! - Release Date: December 12, 1993! @endnode @Node V60C "Version 6.0c" -- v6.0c -- - Never officially released. @endnode @Node V60B "Version 6.0b" -- v6.0b -- - More Bug Fixes: - The odd [heart]F1 printing for some of you seems to be caused by using the Arexx CLS command. It only appears to those using v2.63 I've found, but in any event, all occurances of this CLS command were replaced with the "\f1" MCI command directly. - There were some instances using the DELETE command to attempt to delete a file that didn't exist. Normally, nothing bad would be caused by this, but some 040 configurations were choking, so I included some checks before an actual DELETE is performed. - I tightened up the use of the "dfile" variable, which stores the game file directory. This should fix those "unable to lock on directory" errors some of you reported. - The "?" command to display the MENU was not working in any of the main "Game." modules. It now works, as does it's alias command, the "/" (A ? without pressing SHIFT). - When playing the BONUS ROUND, the first screen that comes up asking for the consonants and vowels was not correctly using alternate HIDE Characters. (It would always use the @ char) - The DOCS files will now only advance when the RETURN/ENTER key is pressed, instead of ANY key. The prompt wordings were also changed to reflect this. - The following were ADDED to the "Config" module: - There are now two variables that allow you to easily adjust the rotating spin speed used in the "Spinning" graphics for users of 9600 and 14400+ modem speeds. - You can now give PRIZES for solving either a Regular Puzzle, or the Bonus Puzzle. This prize can either be Extra Minutes of Online Time, Added PFile Game Points, UD Byte Credits, or UD File Credits. There is also a "None" setting for those who wish NOT to give additional prizes(over Congratulating the user). - Please refer to the README! file for more info on the newest CONFIG options added. - This looks like it may be the last release for the 6.0 version as far as BUG FIXES go. If you know of any bugs which were not caught and killed in either 6.0a or 6.0b, please let me know about them. I can only fix those I find or know about. The majority of the bug fixes to date were caused directly by either the CNet Version running the file, or the hardware setup being used. @endnode @Node V60A "Version 6.0a" -- v6.0a -- - God I hate v2.63! Sheesh! hehe - Bug Fixes(within 2 hours of initial release): - The Loader was not using the path file variable when trying to load the "Game." modules. - The Loader was using a GETWHERE, instead of GETUSER in the v2.63 port scan routine, and the CNet Version flags were in the wrong order. - The Config file was missing a semicolon, which was producing an odd [heart]f1 code before the screen was printed. - All three "Game." files had their use of the SORT command changed from using the MCI {#4 } command to ADDRESS COMMAND, because 040 machines like to barf on {#4 }'s. - The More? Command is turned OFF in the "Config" file. - Note to those who haven't already done this: You need to change your OVERSCAN settings(In Prefs) so you're using a 203 line screen, instead of a 200 line screen in order to correctly view 23 line ANSI screens. - Note that NOW the only PATH hardcoded into ANY of the files is the one where the "WoFortune.Config" file is located(in "pfiles:"). You can now place the "WoFortune.Loader" file wherever you want to, even inside the "WoFortune/" directory, but don't move the "WoFortune.Config" file, unless you go through and change all the hard-coded paths in these files: Loader, Game.???, SetUp, Maint, and Register.Viewer. @endnode @Node V60 "Version 6.0" -- v6.0 -- - Well, the more I thought about it, the more I began to decide that ALL SysOps should be allowed to have the new BONUS ROUND, so here it is! - There have been so many changes made between August and November that I hope I can remember all of them(There was also a complete rewrite of the BONUS Round, due to a slight crash I had which lost my only copy of the original BONUS Round coding, which is the main reason you're reading this file NOW, instead of my previously stated October release date). Here are some bugs I was told about, and which were fixed: - If either all the vowels had been guessed, or the last vowel in the puzzle had been guessed, and the user typed BUY VOWEL, they were taken into the BUY VOWEL routine and were LOCKED in there, until they dropped carrier. They are now given the same reminder they see if they try to guess a consonant when all of those have been guessed. - Two of you told me about another way your users have found that they can CHEAT in the game. If they entered the game and played out their turn in full, then used the EU command to change their handle, they could then play the game again. Also, if you had husband-wife/brother-brother teams on your board, they could take turns playing the game through different ports on multi- line boards. This problem was taken care of this way: - A file containing the following info on the last player of the game is created containing: - Handle - Serial ID Number - Street Address - Voice Phone Number - Data Phone Number - When a new player attempts to play the game, a check is performed against the above info from the lastplayer and the current player. If ANY of the data matches, the player is NOT allowed to play again. - There is a new feature that gives the last player a 1 in 10 chance of being able to play again, but this is SysOp Definable if you wish to use this or not. - Using this technique, I can't see HOW it is possible a user can CHEAT in this game anymore! - I also noted that NEW users and GUESTS were also allowed to play the game, which might also be used as a way to CHEAT in the game, so I added an option in the config that would allow you to specify whether or not you wished NEW/GUEST user's to play or not. - The following are changes and additions that were made to the game over the past few months: - Of course, the BONUS ROUND is now fully integrated in ALL THREE modules. It includes: - Two New Hall of Fame Entries. - A new "Last Bonus Winners" file now exists. - The Loader now has the ability to show info on the last Bonus Winner, how much they won, etc. - An automatic count-down timer. - Player is given R,S,T,N,L, and E to start. - They supply an additional 2 consonants and 1 vowel. - Whether they are allowed to type letters which have already been given to them or not is SysOp definable. - Ability to specify the MINIMUM length Bonus Puzzles can be(instead of simply selecting the next puzzle in the list, even if it's only 10 characters long!) - User who solves regular puzzle is ASKED if they wish to play the Bonus Round, instead of actually HAVING to play it if they don't want to. - The Bonus Round has a prize amount between 10,000 and 50,000 dollars, and the user's accumulated Bonus Money is kept separate from their regular puzzle winnings. - Having to edit variables manually in any of the command files is now obsolete. There is now a new command file "Config" that allows you to specify over 30 different variables pertaining to how the game, and it's loader operates and behaves! See the README! file pertaining to the CONFIG for more info! - Certain colors, and wordings were changed to better interact with the newer features. - The unregistered version now includes 350 puzzles, while the registered SysOps will receive close to 1400 puzzles. There is a new format to the "Puzzles" file, using packed character relative type technology, instead of the previous sequential type ordering. The puzzles are still encrypted, but they are now saved relatively, which makes reading them into the game much faster, especially for the registered SysOps, who are using over 1000 of them! - There is now a common "SetUp" command file that is used by all three modules to initially set the game up. Color and IBM chars are used in this file, because it is thought that the SysOp will be the only one ever using this routine. - There is now a SysOp Maintenance command file "Maint" that will let the SysOp: Restart a game completely, or partially, delete older players from the "Players" file, Configure the game using the new "Config" command file, and will load any of the three registered utilities(if the game is a registered version) - The Wedges used in the ANSI version of the game have been COMPLETELY ReDrawn. (I told you I wasn't quite satisfied with them!) I think I like this new look enough to want to use them over the "rotating" wheel. - A little COMMA routine was added to each file that inserts commas into large monetary values as needed, so you'd get: $27456 into $27,456 and $1286932 into $1,286,932, etc. This routine works with values up to: $999,999,999 - The "List All Players" routine received an update: - The current player's stats will always be the FIRST entry printed(and will appear again where it normally comes in the alphabetized listing) - New columns for Number of Bonus Wins, and Amount of Bonus Cash were added. - The Handle column was widened to allow for the ENTIRE handle to be printed, instead of being chopped. - you can now ABORT the listing if you press any key OTHER than the ENTER key it asks you to press. - All Random Numbers are now "truly" random, in that I am now using the technique of only seeding the generator ONCE at the START of the file, instead of EVERY time a random number was needed. This was found to be a MUCH more precise way to make random numbers. - There is now an "Errors Log" created whenever one of the Game Modules experiences an error. This file can be viewed by the SysOp from within any of the Game Modules. The error notations were also removed from the Game Logs, so as not to "publicize" the fact an error occurred(which will stop a user from trying to deliberately create the error over and over). - The Game Logs are now segragated, as are the Game Docs into the ASC, ANS, and IBM interpretations. This makes each module now a COMPLETE translation into each terminal emulation. - You may have noticed in this version, an attempt was made to make this program "modular", whereas only the modules that are NEEDED are ever loaded. However, this method is NOT the method utilized by Crazy Cad in Empire, where his modules were used via the INTERPRET command, these modules need to be loaded in as separate pfiles. Although each module is written to be able to be run as a stand alone pfile, it IS possible to load them through the command file. At the MOST, one port could load up to FOUR(4) separate pfiles, as shown below: - "WoFortune.Loader" - "Game.???" - "Maint" - "Config" Because of this fact, you will want to be sure to use a setting high enough in your "Max Pfiles to Run at Once" in CONFIG. A setting of "# of ports" x 3 should be good, so if you had 1 local port and 3 modem ports, use a value of 12, etc. - Hopefully, this release is as bug-free as possible. I deliberately kept my hands on this file for an extra 2 weeks just to run it under numerous different settings in hopes of finding any bugs that may have crept in, but as is generally the rule, one or two MAY have slipped past me. You know what to do in the event you ever find a stray bug by now! @endnode @Node V53B "Version 5.3b" -- v5.3b -- - A misplaced BUFFERFLUSH command was causing a "no carrier" problem in the .IBM and .ANS modules. It was correctly coded in the .ASC module. - I decided to go through these modules with a fine tooth comb, to hope- fully make this the last release version in the 5. series. As far as I was able to determine, there are only four places in each module where this bug might show itself, and I checked all four places in ALL THREE Modules, so NOW I think we've finally solved this problem! - Release: August 24, 1993 @endnode @Node V53A "Version 5.3a" -- v5.3a -- - The new CNet MCI {i } command does not correctly handle Lost Carriers, so a slight addition had to be added to each "Game." file to correct this problem. - This bug-fix version was released in two flavors: - The "do-it-yourselfer" text file way. - The full 60+K archive method. - Release date: August 18, 1993. @endnode @Node V53 "Version 5.3" -- v5.3 -- - STARTING THIS VERSION: ONLY REGISTERED SYSOPS MAY USE WOF5! - The "Registered" file is no more. There are now THREE separate files, one for each term mode, ASCII, ANSI, and IBM-ANSI. - A new WOF utility, "RegEditor" was introduced allowing the SysOp to modify the COLORS used in the REGISTERED Graphic Files. - All Command Files(Game.'s, Editor, RegEditor, etc.) were modified to work with the new "Reg." Graphic Files. - The "txt" equivalents to the "Puzzles" files were included with the archive. Getting ready for the next utility to Code/Decode "Puzzles" files. - Release Date: August 12, 1993. @endnode @Node V52 "Version 5.2" -- v5.2 -- - Looks like I lied about v5.0b being the last BUG FIX Version! :-) - I still missed one "No Carrier" location(in the Winner Creates NEW Puzzle routine). HOPEFULLY, that is ALL the possible locations! - I rewrote the Wedge Graphic SPIN Routines(AGAIN), as I was noticing it STILL wasn't acting true to the wheel(I spun 7 FREE SPINS in a ROW!) I think I've come up with a good algorythm now, so hopefully things will appear more randomly. - There's a new variable that allows the SysOp to choose which character will be used to HIDE any UNSOLVED letters, in case you don't like my preference of the @ symbol. - Another variable allows you to let the WINNER of one game be the FIRST player of the NEXT game(provided they Auto-Generated the Puzzle). - Users now have a 1 in 10 chance of being able to play again if they were the LASTPLAYER to play the game. - The "rotating" wheel graphics were updated to look and act a little better than previous versions. Slight delay loops were also added if the user was at 9600 or above for their Baud Rate. This slows down the spinning effect just a bit, so as to be enjoyable. - Some "little" typos, spelling mistakes, format oddities, etc. were also taken care of in this version. Hopefully, this will be the last version you'll have to download for awhile. - Release Date: August 10, 1993! @endnode @Node V50B "Version 5.0b" -- v5.0b -- - My first attempt at correcting the Loader checker wasn't correctly checking for the "Game." files. All four files were given new, updated WHO displays so proper checking COULD be done. - The "Data" file was renamed "GameData". This was done to allow for CNet's "data" directory to reside within the "WoFortune/" directory in case you wished to add the "Game." files as stand-alone Arexx Pfiles. - The "shuffle" routine was slightly modified to work correctly with "Puzzles" files of greater than 250 puzzles. Now, ALL puzzles will be efficiently randomized. - This SHOULD be the LAST "bug-fix" version, until v6.0. - Release Date: July 20, 1993 @endnode @Node V50A "Version 5.0a" -- v5.0a -- - CNet Amiga, v2.63 has a bug in the Arexx GETWHERE command that does NOT correctly respond to what the users on your bbs are doing. - This "WoFortune.Loader" file is written using the LONG, 7-Digit GETUSER OFFSET values to determine what the users are doing, in other words, whether or not they're playing the WOF game or not. - The "WoFortune.Loader3" file is the loader you will use when updating to v3.0 CNet Amiga. It reverts back to using the GETWHERE command, a more STABLE way of finding out what users are doing on your bbs. @endnode @Node V50 "Version 5.0" -- v5.0 -- - Time for a MAJOR ReWrite of this Game's idea. Too many conversions to different formats & BBS programs made the coding very choppy, and in some places, downright redundant. - This version was WRITTEN for the Amiga CNet BBS software, v2.63 & beyond, with separate modules for ASCII, ANSI, and IBM-ANSI users. - Two Graphic Wheels provided: Wedges & a Rotating Wheel. - Complete LOG is kept for ALL activity done within the game. - The WOF Logon file was combined with a Game Loader. The window now lists who the last player was, as well as how the CURRENT Game is coming. It also checks to make sure no other ports are playing! - High Scores Saved to Disk, as well as ALL Scores. - The Winner can either WRITE their OWN puzzle, or have the BBS pick a new one for them. - All puzzles are encrypted to disallow cheating on ANYONES part! - MUCH, MUCH more.... Read the README! and REGISTER! files! - Release Date: July 13, 1993! @endnode @Node V40 "Version 4.0" -- v4.0 -- approximate version number. - Trebor (Robert Smith), converted the BB(Baud Bandit) BBS version to run under the Amiga CNet BBS. - Created an ASCII and ANSI version, mentioned a future SKYPIX version, but offered no IBM-ANSI version. - Trebor was the first that I know of to include a WOF Logon file that listed who the last winner was, and what the winnings were... - Was still quite buggy, and the different modules weren't TRUE to those term protocols. (The ASCII version was using IBM Graphics, etc.) - All puzzles were viewable by whoever could get into the programs directory. @endnode @Node V30 "Version 3.0" -- v3.0 -- approximate version number. - Matt English converted the SkyLine BBS version to the Amiga BB(Baud Bandit) BBS. - Started out using scrolling wedges, then went with the rotating wheel. - No separate ANSI / IBM-ANSI modules existed, and the ASCII mode was built into the ANSI version, making it operate NO more quickly than the ANSI version. @endnode @Node V20 "Version 2.0" -- v2.0 -- approximate version number. - Nick Brenckle wrote a version for the Amiga SkyLine BBS. - This is the first AMIGA WOF file that I knew of for ANY AMIGA BBS! - First version I knew of to utilize the Wedge Graphics. @endnode @Node V10 "Version 1.0" -- v1.0 -- approximate version number. - Unknown author wrote a version for the Commodore 64/128 CNets. - Recall this version used a rotating wheel, and allowed for playbacks. @endnode @Node END "That's It!" ============================================================================ Written by Dotoran of @{"Frontiers BBS" link "pfiles:WoFortune/Guides/REGISTER.GUIDE/FRONTIERS"} (716)/823-9892! ============================================================================ Last Modified: June 5, 1994 Please @{"REGISTER" link "pfiles:WoFortune/Guides/REGISTER.GUIDE/Main"} This Game! ~~~~~~~~ @endnode @Node WHY "Why make an AmigaGuide version History File?"
