Improved Bulletin Boards Code v1.1 Copyright 1997, by Trevor Man What is it? ----------- This is a drop in replacement for the Circle 3.0bpl11 bulletin board system. The new files add the ability to respond to messages (And also respond to reponses) and also it sorts the responses so they are displayed below the actual message. Remember to save the board information table before installing these files. NOTE: This WILL make your existing board messages incompatible! You MUST remove them before using the new board system. You can either delete them or rename them. How to install -------------- 1. Backup your mud 2. Add the respond command to the master command list in interpreter.c E.g. Put { "respond", POS_RESTING, do_not_here, 0, 0 }, below the line that says { "reply", POS_SLEEPING, do_reply, 0, 0 }, (The spacing will be different but you can ignore that) 3. Replace the board information table in the new boards.c with the one you saved from earlier. (If you haven't changed the stock boards or added any you can just leave it as it is) 4. Copy the original boards.c and boards.h files to somewhere safe. 5. Copy the new boards.c and boards.h files into the directory. 6. Recompile the mud 7. Thats it........ How to use it ------------- The board response sorting is automatic and doesn't need anything done to it. The new responce command is called respond. It is just respond Disclaimer ---------- Use this code at your own risk. Send any improvements or any bugs to the address below. - Trevor Man
