If you find a bug, a feature not working, or want to make a suggestion for improving the game, feel free to drop me e-mail.  Obviously, registered SysOps will have more attention than unregistered SysOps.  Also, don't bother me with the "If you just added this feature, I'd register." comments.  We both know that comments like this are half-truths.  You'll register this game when you and your users agree that it is worth being registered.

Installation

Copy all files into the same directory.  Included, you will find a sample batch file, and a corresponding configuration files.  Modify them as necessary.  Make one CFG and one BAT per node if necessary. Each line that has a semicolon in the front of it is a comment and is ignored.  Each additional line consists of two parts, KeyWord and Value.  The following list explains the various settings.

KeyWord
BBSDir    			the directory in which the drop file can be found.  If your BBS 				provides a dropfile separate for each node and places them 				in separate directories, you need to make one configuration 				file for each node, changing this value.

DoorDir			the home directory of the door game.  This is the directory 				that this door game looks into to find it's files.

LocalMode			by removing the semi-colon before this keyword, the door 				will be activated in local mode only.  This is a simple 				option for running a local node version of this game for 				testing or whatever.

Node				this is the node number.  Generally, the game will take the 				information contained in the dropfile.  But if the dropfile 				does not contain this information, this value will be used.  				Also, if your system used DORINFO#.DEF, this value will 				replace the # to determine the correct dropfile.

MaximumDoorTime 		this is the maximum time a caller is allowed in the door per 				play. 

MaximumGamesPerSession	this is the maximum games a player can play each time 				they enter the door.  0 disables.  1-10 are valid.  5 is 				default.

MaximumGamesPerDay	this is the maximum games a player may play each day.
				0 disables.  1-10 are valid.  5 is default.

InactivityTimeout		this is the time in seconds which, if the caller does not 				press a key, the game will timeout and return to the BBS.

SysopName			this is the name of the sysop

SystemName			this is the name of the BBS

LockedBPS			if the information is not provided by the dropfile, or the 				fossil, then this is the speed at which your port is locked.

SerialPort			if the information is not provided by the dropfile, or the 				fossil, then this is the port to be used. 0=Com1, 1=Com2, 				2=Com3, 3=Com4,etc. 
				Note: All other port configuration information is provided 				by Windows.

NoFossil			when the semi-colon is removed from in front of this 				keyword, use and detection of a fossil is manually disabled.

NoDTRDisable
DisableDTR			if your system is a DOS BBS running under Windows 95, 				you may need to use this option. Windows 95 has been 				known to not properly handle the DTR during door exit, 				and so this may help if you are experiencing hangups.

RegCode			when you register this program, I will provide you 				a registration code that you place here.  It will disable all 				nag screens, allow the player to go past level 4, and disable 				all time delays.

AdoptedBy			Here's where you stick the name of the caller who helped 				get this game registered.  His or her name will appear on 
				the title screen and the exit screen.

ASCIIblt			this screen is used to keep a display of big winners of
				this game, suitable for display on your BBS.  It is necessary
				for the High Winners Files displayed inside the game.

The command line of the batch file should normally be as follows:

start /m /w magbjk.exe -C magbjk.cfg 

in this instance, /m keeps the windows minimized at startup.  remove it if you want the window to pop-up in the screen whenever someone plays.  You may still maximize the door during play, but /m just keeps it from being annoying.  "start" is very important!!

Here's the other options available to you on the command-line. To access this information, just run magbjk.exe -HELP

-C xxxxx  		configuration file to be used
-L 			local mode
-D xxxxx		dropfile path and/or filename
-N x			node number
-B			locked bps rate
-P x			port number 0=com1, 1=com2, etc.
-HANDLE x		serial port handle to pass if the serial port is to be left open
-SILENT		operates door in silent mode, with no local display
-MAXTIME x		maximum number of minutes allowed
-G 			unless followed by 0 or N, this switch forces ANSI
-BBSNAME x		Name of the BBS
-USERNAME x	Name of the user
-TIMELEFT x		User's time remaining online
-SECURITY x		User's security level on the BBS
-LOCATION x	Location from which the user is calling
-?, -H, -HELP		Help, Displays these options.

The Game creates a BIGWIN.USR file in order to keep track of Big Winners for the High Scores File.  This file is appended to with every big winner.  Just delete the file whenever you want to reset the bulletin.  I suggest setting up an event and deleting this file once a week.  Unregistered SysOps will not have this feature enabled.

There are two files that you may edit in order to customize this door.  WINSAY.DAT and LOSESAY.DAT.  These contain various 50 character sayings that the game uses randomly when the player wins or loses.  These are non-gender specific, and read in a flirting manner.  Each saying must be 50 characters in length, so edit these files from a monospaced font editor.  Also, there must be exactly 25 sayings in each file.  No more, no less.  Edit these files at your own risk.  If you screw them up, just replace them with the original files.

SPECIAL NOTE:  If you use a DOS based BBS under Windows, you will need to insure that you have the setting under [386Enh] in your system.ini set up for each comport as
COM#AutoAssign = 0, whereas # is the number of the com port.  This is necessary so that the windows program will be able to use tehs ame com port as your DOS BBS.

Also.  You may need to run DTRON.EXE after the game exits in order to maintain the DTR .  DTRON is available free.  To see it's help, just run DTRON -HELP from the command line.

GAME DESCRIPTION

Magus Adult Blackjack is the classic game of 21 with a twist.  If you win a hand, your dealer must remove a piece of clothing.  If you get the dealer completely naked, you
play one game of high card.  If you win this game, you get the dealer for a night of action,
displayed in animated ANSI on your screen.   

Special features of Magus Adult Blackjack

- Gender and Sexual Orientation is accounted for.  Player makes choice and game plays out according to preference.

- Player chooses name which is displayed in high scores file

- 8 dealers available (4 of each gender) all drawn in the beautiful ANSI art :)

- Animated ANSI sequences

- Maximum Games Per Day, Maximum Games Per Session, and Maximum Minutes Per Day allow the SysOp to control their user's ability to play this game.

- Registered sysops get free upgrades for life.
