Ambroshia

Ambroshia - The Test of Time is a Multi User Dungeon (MUD) game by Dominic Carretto, and it's available from http://ambroshia.thebbs.org

Here is how to install it: (Assuming that your BBS uses *# as the node macro)

1. Extract the Win32 version of Ambroishia (AMB4031.ZIP) to a directory/folder.

 (In this example we will assume C:\PB\AMBV4)

2. In your BBS software, configure your door to run a Command Line such as this example:

 c:\netfoss\nfu.exe c:\pb\node*# "c:\pb\amb\amblaunch.exe /n *# /d c:\pb\node*#\door32.sys" *D

Note that for node 1, the above command line would be translated by the BBS as so:

 c:\netfoss\nfu.exe c:\pb\node1 C:\PB\amb\amblaunch.exe /n 1 /d c:\pb\node1\door.sys"

If your BBS software automaticly sets the current directory as the node's dropfile directory before executing a door, you can shorten the size of parameter 1 like this:

 c:\netfoss\nfu.exe . "c:\pb\amb\amblaunch.exe /n *# /d c:\pb\node*#\door32.sys" *D

You can also shorten the second parameter by replacing the path (only) to

 c:\netfoss\nfu.exe . "c:\pb\amb\amblaunch.exe /n *# /d ^" *D
