07/18/91 [v4.0] Game not allowing 5 of a kind (Yahtzee) to be placed in the FULL HOUSE category. Changed the "random" number generator. May give some better random dice generation. If ANSI not detected, caller has option to contimue or return to BBS. No longer denies access to game, outright! If Sysop uses the door, he/she is given 99 chances to play the game. Registered version ONLY! Added support for Wildcat! v3.0 (See Docs.. Config file!) Added support for WWIV BBS' (See Docs.. Config file [untested]) Under certain circumstances the program would hang the system after displaying the ADOPT-A-DOOR screen 05/31/91 [v3.9] Program will no longer save a game if no moves were made. Changes made to internal variables related to timeleft. The "[C] Yahtzee" category was not printing, in Non-Graphics mode only. Fixed! Added support for non-standard IRQ numbers (othe than IRQ3/IRQ4). See docs for implementation. 05/05/91 [v3.8] Door would hang, in local mode, when returning to BBS. In YAHTZMRG.EXE the date being passed to Yahtzee.Sco was garbled. YAHTEMRG.EXE not calculating security values correctly. 04/14/91 [v3.7] After releasing v3.7, I uncovered a problem that would only occur if you had more than 10 entries in the YAHTZEE.SCO file. No one reported it, I ran into it on my BBS. It only affected those that converted a previous .SCO file with more than 10 entries. ONLY THE YAHTZEE.EXE FILE NEED BE REPLACED IF YOU ARE ALREADY RUNNING v3.7 !!!!! 04/06/91 [v3.7] Must run SCOCNVRT.EXE to convert existing YAHTZEE.SCO file. If no existing YAHTZEE.SCO file, DO NOT RUN !!! To execute type: SCOCNVRT YAHTZEE ________________ This release incorporates the changes required to allow your callers to play Triple Yahtzee offline on their PCs and upload their score(s) to your BBS. You can then merge ALL uploaded scores into the Triple Yahtzee Door high score file, using a combination of DOS commands and a supplied program (YAHTZMRG.EXE)... READ DOCS!!! 03/24/91 [v3.6] Added option for Sysop to restrict number of games that can be played per day. You must change your CFG file !!!!! otherwise you will get an ERROR !!! CHANGE IT NOW !!!! Read DOCS! Bulletin being created had extra line feeds between lines. When presented with the "Press ENTER or E to exit" message, pressing E caused another "Press ENTER to continue" message to appear. Eliminated the second "Press ENTER..." message after you press an E to exit. When using DORINFOx.DEF, the door would stop at the start of the game and require a key press to continue. When using DORINFOx.DEF, the BBS NAME was not being picked up from the configuration file and was not picking up the correct NODE number from the configuration file. 03/10/91 [v3.5] Several problems related to the use of DORINFOx.DEF were corrected 02/23/91 [v3.4] Internal changes to speed up program. Corrected "hung system" when responding to a "Press ENTER to continue, E to end" message. 02/08/91 [v3.3] Internal routine changes. 01/13/91 [v3.2] Added error trapping routines Changed method of creating filenames that hold the "saved" game. This will accomodate 1-word handles. 01/07/91 [v3.1] Well I finally was able to locate that little bug some of you said existed. Seems that Yahtzee bonus' were being given at odd times and not conforming to giving the bonus' only after all 3 Yahtzee categories were filled. Please let me know if I still have a "bug" with this item. 01/01/91 [v3.0] Problem with last display of instructions not remaining on screen. Several internal programming changes. 12/29/90 [v2.9] ADOPT-A-DOOR display problem fixed "Warnin x Minutes Remain...." message messed up the display. The message has been eliminated. ANSI checking is now automatic. Opening screen ANSI question has been eliminated. DORINFOx.DEF now handles security levels > 32767. 12/02/90 [v2.8] HiScore file name capitalization inconsistant with prior versions. All names will now be capitalized. 12/01/90 [v2.7] Corrected a problem with the "game save" feature. NOTE:Delete the YAHTZEE.INX file and ANY .SAV files in your directory. Not recognizing DORINFOx.DEF - Fixed Not handling midnight time change properly - Fixed 11/27/90 [v2.6] Now Supports DOOR.SYS, CALLINFO.BBS, DORINFOx.DEF and PCBoard.SYS. Major board color is now configurable. ADOPT-A-DOOR is now an option in Config file 11/16/90 [v2.5] Cosmetic changes. More informative opening screen. 11/16/90 [v2.4] Problems reported relative to the slow response after a key is pressed in response to a prompt. This only happened if using the HOTKEY option. Changed some of the input routines and it looks like I have fixed the problem. Feedback about whether it is better or not would be appreciated! 11/10/90 [v2.3] When running the Door Converter called DoorMaster and you are using the Door in a local mode, DoorMaster created a 4 digit number for "call time remaining". Since I was expecting a 3 digit maximum, pgm was producing an ERROR #5. I have fixed this by changing the time remaining to 30 minutes if the time remaining is greater than 999 minutes. (That should be more than enough for a Sysop to play the game locally...) 11/08/90 [v2.2] Caller names were not being outputted in uppercase. This caused a problem with the HiScore file in that a caller could show up in the Hiscore file with their name in both upper and upper/lower case. To correct the file use an editor or word processor to correct the spelling to all upper case characters. 11/04/90 [v2.1] Having failed to fix the intermittant system hangs, I have re-written the program using a different set of routines. This version requires a CHANGE to the CONFIGURATION FILE!! Check the DOCs for changes required !! Added option to allow Sysop to bypass dipalying the ADOPT-A-DOORmessage! 10/20/90 [v2.0] Several changes made in an ATTEMPT to fix the "system hang" problem when running under SOME DesqView configurations. Slight cosmetic changes made. You may now use a zero (0), along with a "P" or a "+" to signal that you want to stop rolling the dice and play the current hand! ADOPT-A-DOOR display now centers names automatically. Removed the BRUN45.EXE file from the ZIP file. This was done to reduce the size of the ZIP which will result in a shorter transfer time. It will be available on the Sunrise-80 BBS. 09/21/90 [v1.9] The speed by which individual dice are changed/displayed, has been increased. This will speedup overall game play. Added a new entry to the configuration file. You can now set the initial setting of the HOTKEY feature to either ON or OFF (1=ON, 0=OFF). Several Sysops have reported unusually long delays (and possible system hang situations) when running TY under a DesqView environment. From what I can tell, it has something to do with the way I was causing "pre-planned" pauses throughout the program. I have made some changes, but since I do not run in a DesqView environment, I would appreciate some feedback from those of you that do. NOTE: Unregistered version will encounter a 15 seconds (approx) delay on the opening and closing screen! 08/28/90 [v1.8] Error #52 on multi-node systems....fixed 08/25/90 [v1.7] HOTKEY activate/deactivate is now consistant for all input fields on the game board. Game Board heading changed to reflect only the name of the game and the version being used. Added the ability to play another game, when current game is completed, rather than having to exit and enter the door again. I believe I have fixed the color problems at the end of the game and while displaying the Top Score list. If not please let me know! 08/23/90 [v1.6] Removed requirement that SHARE be loaded in single node systems. Fixed a misplaced "pause" statement Introducing the ADOPT-A-DOOR concept. See Docs for more info. New feature allows player to toggle between HOTKEY and non-HOTKEY, when responding to prompts. Corrected a problem with the game SAVE routine, where a game was saved one day and was not found when the player logged back on next time. 08/19/90 [v1.5] Added the capability to produce a Bulletin of the Top Scores. This requires an addition to the configuration file. The DOC file has been updated to reflect this new feature, as well as including a warning that you MUST have SHARE loaded or you will get an ERROR #70. 08/18/90 [v1.4] Added a new entry to .CNF file. You can now control the keyboard timeout value. Minimum value=2 minutes. Minimum number of HiScore entries allowed is 10. 08/17/90 [v1.3] Fixed Error #5 generated when updating the HiScore file 08/17/90 [v1.2] Added some code to support multi-node system usage. I am unable to test the multi-node function, so I would appreciate some help. 08/14/90 [v1.1] Several minor "bugs" eradicated. 08/11/90 [v1.0] First production release.
