"So how does this program work and what does it do?" - same setup as the rest.
Calling syntax: Q datapath /repeat[x]
Where datapath is the drive:path to your TW data files. Use /REPEAT[x] if you
want Q to hit more then 1 sector. Replace x with any valid number from 1 to
32676.
When Q is run, it will pick a random sector, and check for players in that
sector. It will then decide what kind of mood it's in, either good or bad.
Then it will pick what it will mess with, Fighters, shields, or Credits. If
it's in a good mood it will add a random amount, if in a bad mood, it will
subtract a random amount.
While adding it takes into consideration ship limits on shields and fighters.
If they have more fighters or shields then the max the ship can handle, then
it will remove the extra. Like like a miniature bug catcher.
OK, that's about it.
Send any money you feel the program is worth. Or if you own/run a
company, donate hardware to my BBS (like a 19.2 kbp modem!) and get your
company/store name and address posted on my board AND in my doc files!!!
Hows that for some good advertising? I think it's worth it. And if you do
donate hardware, you'll get the next 5 releases free that require a
registration to unlock features. So I think you get something good in return.
Send any donations or hardware to the address given shortly. And for hardware,
don't forget to include any information you want added to my board/DOCs about
your store, like phone number, address, what you sell/do, etc. A full ANSI
advertisement would be great to.
That should be enough. Now the stuff no one reads.. If you like this or
any of the other programs I've done that you have or have seen, please send
me something for my time and testing. I currently don't have a "real" job and
my only income is from my BBS and my programming. Do you know how hard it is
for a 22 year old computer nerd to get a job in a small hick town?
Send any donations, or your own programs that you've written to be placed on
my BBS to:
David Proper
927 Maple Avenue, NW
New Philadelphia, Ohio 44663-1522

A quick little thank you goes out to Dan Roseen, SysOp of Nite Owl BBS
206-631-4949. He gave the TW file formats to one of my users that called his
system looking for them. Thanks Dan, we need more SysOps like that who are
willing to help out there users and other SysOps. (You wouldn't believe the
[cowpoo] in this area between the local systems. It's unbelievable)
And of course thanks to Jason Boyd for writting the text file that had the
file formats.
Guess that's the end of this file. Increase the peace. Later.
