Legend of the Red Dragon

Legend of the Red Dragon can be downloaded from Metropolis Gameport.

Extract the LORD zip file to a new directory (ie, c:\lord) and then also extract the other zip (lord.zip) contained inside. Then, run LORDCFG.EXE to configure the node settings (option S from LORDCFG's main menu). Configure node 1 as follows:

  (1) Node Number      : 1
  (2) BBS Name         : Your BBS  <-- example only! 
  (3) BBS Software     : DOORSYS
  (4) Path To Drop File: c:\sbbs\node1
  (5) Fossil/Internal  : Using Regular Fossil Driver
  (6) Locked Port Speed: Port Not Locked
  (7) Comport          : Read From Drop File
  (8) Send Open Comports Command?  : Yes!
  (9) Send Reset Comports Command? : Yes!
  (A) Use Special ANSI Settings?   : No!
  (B) Use direct screen writes?    : Yes!
  (C) Copy setup from another RT game.  (TEOS & RTREADER)
  ([) Go back a node
  (]) Go forward a node
  (Q) Quit To Main

You must manually configure the rest of the nodes; hit the ] button to move to the next node. Be sure to specify the correct Path to Drop File for each node (ie, c:\sbbs\node2 for node 2, c:\sbbs\node3 for node 3, etc).

Now, you must add Legend of the Red Dragon to your board's games menu. In SCFG, go to External Programs -> Online Programs -> Games -> Available Online Programs and hit the insert key. Configure it as follows:

¦Name Legend of the Red Dragon ¦Internal Code LORD ¦Start-up Directory C:\LORD <-- example only! ¦Command Line start %# ¦Clean-up Command Line ¦Execution Cost None ¦Access Requirements ¦Execution Requirements ¦Multiple Concurrent Users Yes ¦Intercept I/O Interrupts No ¦Swap BBS out of Memory Yes ¦Modify User Data No ¦Execute on Event No ¦BBS Drop File Type GAP DOOR.SYS ¦Place Drop File In Node Directory ¦Time Options...

Be sure to set the "start-up directory" to whatever directory you put your Legend of the Red Dragon files in.

After these steps have been completed, be sure to refresh the board's node data so that the config changes take effect immediately.
