CHAPTER 1
SYSTEM STARTUP AND THE WFC
SCREEN
_________________________________________________________________________
____
WHAT IS RENEGADE BBS?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Renegade BBS is a bulletin board software derived from the
Telegard BBS source code version 2.5g. The Telegard software
was in turn a modified version of the WWIV pascal source code.
Renegade, however has been vastly improved from the original
TG 2.5g source much to the credit of the talented programmer,
Cott Lang.
Changes can be browsed from a file known as WHATDONE which
list the hundreds of changes made to the original code. Renegade
offers SysOp the ultimate in BBS configuration, allowing your BBS
to
achieve a UNIQUE look and feel.
___________
CHAPTER 1-A
___________
To start the BBS, change to the main BBS directory and execute the
"RENEGADE" program. Renegade requires that you have at least 285K
of
available memory, have at least a 80186 processor, and a fossil
driver.
These are the bare essentials though, and the system will run much
better
if it has at least a 386dx/25 with 570k Conventional memory and 1
Meg EMS.
___________
CHAPTER 1-B
___________
The Command Line Parameters are as follows:
-Bnnnnn
This command tells the BBS program a user is on the
modem
at nnnnn baud.
This skips the WFC screen and goes
directly
to the BBS.
-EEnnn
the
If a critical error occurs during the operation of
BBS, it aborts to DOS with an ERRORLEVEL value of
nnn.
-ENnnn
Normally, when you perform a normal exit back to DOS,
the program returns an ERRORLEVEL value of 0.
-Ixxx
If you want to pass Caller ID (CID) information to
Renegade, use it after this switch. (ie: With Front
Door,
in the EXEBBS.BAT file, Renegade /I%6, will pass the
CID
information.)
-Kxx
If you have changed Dos's screen display, you can
tell
Renegade that you have done so. Valid #s are 25, 43
and
50.
-L
Operate the BBS in local mode only (don't send
anything
out to the modem, and don't respond to incoming
calls).
-Mn
Will create a QWK mail packet for user n then return
to DOS.
-Nn
If you're running in a multi-node environment, use
this
to load node n.
-P
Pack the message bases and return to DOS
-S
Sort the File areas and return to DOS.
-Q
Quit to DOS after the next user logs off.
-Un
Will upload a REP mail packet for user n then return
to
DOS.
-Xnnnn
External event start time in minutes.

mode,
you can send commands to the modem, but if the phone
rings, Renegade will still answer the call.
If local security is set to on, there are only 2 commands that
become
available on the keyboard. (This is useful if the BBS is in a space
where many people pass by and can cause great damage to the BBS.)
The only two commands which are allowed are [SPACE] and "Q".
[SPACE] brings up a prompt for the system password. Entering the
correct
password will allow the use of all WFC menu commands.

AND - "S20D50" requires the user has an SL of 20 *AND* a DSL of 50.
OR - "S20|FA" requires that the user have either SL 20 *OR* AR

NOT - "!FA" requires that the user *NOT* have AR flag "A".
The TRUE and FALSE operators are used to give everyone access, or to
give nobody access. "^" means ALL users have access, and "%"
means NO users at all have access.
For even more complex ACS's, parentheses are allowed to group ACS
settings
together to be compared to another set:
"S20FA|D255" means that the user must have at least SL 20 *AND* AR
flag
"A" *OR* DSL 255.
A few more examples:

Renegade has a system for displaying system information in all
locations on
the board. This is done using a set of codes called MCI (Message
Command
Interpreter). These codes are entered with the character "%"
followed by
a two specific characters.

CHAPTER 4-B
___________
With the release of Renegade 10-04Exp (No it is not a typo - 10-04
was
released and then 10-05 was compiled the next day) renegade supports
a new type of MCI code. Seeing that there is only one of these
SPECIAL
codes as of this version, they do not have a separate name.
%DF%FILENAME.EXT%
<-- Display File Variable.
Believe it or not, this MCI will change the face of a board, and has
a
lot of possibilities. This code however, does NOT work in Messages,
File Listings, and Files read in my Renegade (ANS,ASC...). So where
do you use it? I have found that this variable is useful in the
string
definition section of Renegade. For example... suppose that you are
tired of that same ole logon. Go into the STRING CONFIGURATION, and
change the HANDLE prompt to %DFHANDLE%. It will then display the

CHAPTER 4-C
___________
There are 2 easy ways of changing colors in Renegade. The first
method is usable almost everywhere in Renegade. When you're where
you
want to change to another color, press [Ctrl-P] and then enter a
number
from 0-9. Control-P is actually a macro type of key, because when
you
do hit Control P, a ^ appears. The ^ is the actual, better way to
change
the colors. From then on, the color will be the one you set with
the last
command. It will stay the same color until the color is changed
again by
either the system or by another color code sequence.
NOTE: Just because the [Ctrl-P] key sequence does not produce
~~~~ the "^", doesn't mean you cannot change the color.
Simply
enter the "^" yourself.
_________________________________________________________________________
____
CHAPTER 5
PIPE COLOR
SYSTEM
_________________________________________________________________________
____
A other way which can be used is called the Pipe System. Where you
want to change the color, enter a "|nn" (w/out quotes). The nn is a
number between 00 and 23. (2 digits MUST be used.). The first 16
colors
(00-15) affect the foreground color, and the last 8 (16-23) affect
the
background color. The colors are as follows: (B. = Bright, D. =
Dark)

a pipe code.

Note that the command strings can contain the following special
characters:
"|"
Sends a carriage return (^M) to the modem.
"^x"
Sends a control character to the modem. (^M can be
typed
as a | here.)
"~"
Performs a half-second delay before sending the next
character to the modem.
"^"
Toggles DTR for .25 seconds.
Each menu option is described in detail below.
1
This is the baud rate that Renegade will use when waiting
for calls at the WFC menu. This should be set to the
modem's maximum baud rate, either 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600, or 115200 baud. (If you lock the COM port,
this is also the speed at which it will be locked.)
2
This is the COM port that your modem is connected to,
which
can be COM1 through COM64.
3
This is the command that initializes the modem. This is
VERY important, as it tells the modem how to operate under
the BBS environment. Words of Advice: If your modem has
the
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ability to store
user
defined profiles in
its
volitile memory,
USE IT!
For some reason if
the
initialization
string is
too long it tends
to mess
up the other
settings.
4
This is the command that enables the modem to answer an
incoming call.
5
This is the command that hangs up the modem.
6
This is the command that places the modem offhook. (Makes
the
phone line busy.)
7
This option lets you lock the COM port if you have a modem
beyond 2400 baud.
8
This option should be set if you are using a DigiBoard.
9
This option toggles CTS/RTS flow control on or off. Flow
control tells the computer or modem when to start and stop
sending or receiving information to/from the other device.
(RTS/CTS is also known as Hardware Flow Control.)
A
This option toggles XON/XOFF flow control on and off. (See
information above about CTS/RTS flow control. XON/XOFF is
also known as Software Flow Control.)
B
The complete path to where the door files (CALLINFO.BBS,
DORINFOx.DEF, DOOR.SYS, etc.) will be written to for this
node.
(If blank, files are written to main BBS directory)
C
The minimum ACS setting required to be met by the user
trying
to logon to the node so they can stay on.
D
The string inserted here sets what is displayed by this
node's
line in the teleconference before the user's text is sent
normally.
E
The string inserted here sets what is displayed by this
node's
line in the teleconference before the user's text is sent
anonymously.
F
The string inserted here sets what is displayed by this
node's
line in the teleconference before the user's text is sent
globally.
G
The string inserted here sets what is displayed by this
node's
line in the teleconference before the user's text is sent
privately.
H

This is the string that is displayed when the %E MCI is
I
This is the port address of the modem displayed when the
%C
MCI is used.
J
If you want the BBS to answer on a ring other then the
first
ring, enter the number here.
K
This will toggle the option to use the MultiRing (also
called
RingMate, and Distinctive Ringing) option.
(Pick up after
the
set number of secondary rings.)
R
These are the result codes returned by the modem when the
NO
CARRIER and other various baud rate conditions are
encountered.

A
This option sets the limit for the amount of Email that
any single caller can leave during a call.
B
This option sets the limit for the number of feedback
messages that any single caller can send during a call.
C
This option sets the limit for the number of public
messages
that any single caller can send during a call.
D
This option sets the limit for the number of chat attempts

F
This option sets the limit for the amount of Email that
can
be kept waiting for a Co-SysOp.
G
This option sets the number of logons a user can have
before
the BBS checks to see (as a security feature) if the user
knows what the birthdate they entered into the BBS at the
first
logon.
H
This option tells the BBS where to swap memory to when the
BBS "swaps" out of Renegade. The locations are either
(D)isk,
(E)MS Memory, (X)MS Memory, (N)on XMS Extended Memory or
(A)nywhere.
I

log on to the BBS, before the BBS hangs up on them.
J
This option sets the amount of days before a user has to
change their password as a security precaution.
K
This option sets the SysOp chat color. This only matters
to the users that can view ANSI colors, as this color is
the
one that is used while the SysOp is typing.
L
This goes along with option K, except that it's the user
chat
color. (In case you're wondering.. the reason there are 2
different colors for chat is basically so that the SysOp
and
user knows who said what.)
M
This option sets the minimum amount of hard drive space
(in K)
that must be available on the hard drive in order to post
a
message.
N
Pretty much the same as option M, except that it deals

_________________________________________________________________________
A
This option specifies whether or not handles are allowed
on
the system. (A handle is an alias. Like CB Radio.) Some
users like the anonymous aspect of BBSing, but it IS your
choice.
B
This option specifies whether or not the user's phone
number
is asked for during the logon process.
C
This option controls local security protection.
D
This option specifies whether or not the RENEGADE.OVR file
is to be accessed from, EMS (expanded) memory. If the
overlay
can't be stored in EMS, Renegade will access the overlay
from
disk as usual.
(EMS is MUCH faster in accessing then the
disk.)
E
This option controls global activity trapping. If set to
ON, the BBS will make a trap file for EVERY caller.
F
This option specifies whether or not to automatically open
the chat buffer during a chat session.
G
This option specifies whether or not the auto-message is
displayed during the logon process.
H
This option specifies whether or not the bulletin menu is
presented during the logon process.
I
This option specifies whether or not the last few callers
list
is displayed during the logon process.
J
This option specifies whether or not the user's status is
shown during the logon process.
K
This option specifies whether or not Renegade's color
codes will be stripped from the SysOp log.
L
This option specifies whether or not the phone should be
taken off-hook during local logons.
M
This option will toggle whether or not the messages going
through teleconferencing should be logged or not.
N
This option controls the "compression" of file and message
base numbers. This option takes a little explaining...
Say you have ten message bases (1-10), and bases 2, 6 and
9
are restricted from certain users.
Normally when the list
of
message areas is displayed, those areas are not shown,
leaving
a gap in the listings (1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10).
If this
option is
set to on, all the message base numbers are made
contiguous..
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) to the user.
O
This option controls the search for duplicate files during
the uploading procedure.
P
This option controls the output of the SysOp log.
You
have
three choices.
File only -- Puts the log in the SYSOPxx.LOG file.
Printer & file -- Same as File except it outputs the log
to
the printer also.
Printer only -- Sends the log to the printer only.
R
This option specifies whether or not ROM BIOS routines are
to be used for all local screen output.
S
This option specifies whether or not IEMSI handshaking
will take place or not. IEMSI is simply when the user
defines certain pieces of information in his terminal
program such as Real Name, Address and such... it
basically speeds up the logon.
T
This option defines if new users will be allowed onto the
BBS or
not.
U
This option defines if Renegade will Swap memory if it
shells
out of the BBS.
V
This option defines if the BBS will use the Shuttle Logon.
W
This option toggles Chat call paging. (After a user pages
you,
the board buzzes you to remind you that the user wants to
chat.)

that they
upload. If set to 0, this function becomes disabled for that SL.
___________
CHAPTER 6-Q
___________
This section works like the Time Limitations section except this
section
sets the number of K that a user can download for every K that they
upload. If set to 0, this function becomes disabled for that SL.
___________
CHAPTER 6-R
___________
This section works like the Time Limitations section except this
section
sets the number of posts per call ratio that must be kept in order
to have
a correct PCR. (Helpful if you want to keep people out of the File
transfer
section until they get productive in posting, etc..)
Some people have gotten confused about this section. You want to enter
the
number of posts that a user of that Security Level (SL) would need for
the ACS
"ZZ", per 100 calls. (ie: if this was set to 25, the user would have
to post
25 messages for every 100 calls they make. if they don't, they won't
have ACS
"ZZ", and therefore can't do anything that you have "ZZ" in.)

Designates the message base type.
Three types are
currently
available:
Local -- Allows the exchange of messages only between
the users of the BBS.
Echomail -- Allows the exchange of messages, via a
FidoNet
type message network system.
Groupmail -- Similar in concept to Echomail, but with
a
different distribution method.
QWKMail -- Adds origin lines and tear lines to
messages,
but does not export or add addresses.
This is
for
use with the QWK Networking feature.
When a base is defined as Echomail or Groupmail, you will
be
prompted for a disk drive message path.

The ACS requirements that the user must meet in order to
access the message base.
The user must have this ACS setting in order to post
this base.
6
This is the ACS setting for users to have "SysOp Commands"
available to them. This is helpful for BBS moderators.
7
This is the maximum number of messages that can be posted
on
the base. (Default is 100.) When the number of messages
exceeds
this limit old posts start getting removed when the base
gets
packed.
8
This determines the anonymity level of the message base.
Available anonymity levels are:
(Y)es, anonymous allowed.
(N)o, anonymous not allowed.
(F)orced Anonymous -- This automatically makes every
post on the base anonymous.
(D)ear Abby -- This is for a "Dear Abby" problem
solving message base. A user may post a message
under ANY one of these three possibilities:
"Problemed User" -- Posted by a user who
wants help, but wishes to remain
anonymous.
"Abby" -- Allows another user to respond to
a
problem post, with anonymity.
User name and number -- Allows a caller to
post a problem/suggestion under their
handle and user number.
(A)ny Name -- Allows users to post messages using any
name
they like.

This option allows you to define the type and availability
of the current protocol. The available types are:
Active - The protocol is active
Batch - The protocol will transfer multiple files
with
one command.
Resume - The protocol will transfer one file, and
resume the transfer where it left off (if the
previous transfer was aborted).
Bi-Directional - The protocol will transfer files in
both directions at the same time.
Reliable - The protocol should only be available to
those callers who connect with a reliable
connection.
(Error Correction Connect...)
1
This option defines the command keys required to select
the
protocol and a description that will be displayed when
requested.
2
This option defines the ACS requirements that the user
must have
to use the protocol.
3
This option defines the name of the file that holds the
result log of a file transfer operation.
4
This option defines the names of the permanent result log
files for upload and download transfers.
5
This option defines the commands required to perform file
uploading and downloading.
When pressed, you will be asked which command (upload or
download) to define. You are then asked which type of
command
it will be.
The four different command types are as
follows:
(C)ommand -- The entry is assigned to a special
function.
Ascii -- The selected file will be transferred
to
the remote user via ASCII transfer.
Batch -- The entry will not actually transfer a
file, but instead will add the file to the
batch transfer queue.
Edit -- The selected file's directory entry is
edited
and the information can be changed.
Next -- The selected file is skipped and the
next
file is selected.
Quit -- The selection is cancelled.
(E)xternal -- Allows you to define the actual DOS
Commandline used with the protocol driver.
Refer to
the above list to determine the correct
Commandline.
(O)ff -- Disables that particular function for the
protocol.
6
This option toggles if the error result codes defined in
option
7 mean a good or bad transfer.
7
This option defines the result codes (for both uploading
and
downloading) returned by the protocol driver after
completing
transmission of a file.
E
environment
This option defines the command that sets up an
string for those programs that require environment
variables to
be set up in certain ways for a transfer log.
For
example:
"SET DSZLOG=%T" would set the DSZ.COM temporary result log
filename to the name defined in option 3. If no
environment
setup is necessary, this string should be set to NULL
("").
*IMPORTANT*:
If you define a command with this option,
make
sure to define it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
FILE!
I
This option defines the name of the file in which Renegade
will store the filenames to be transferred in a batch
transfer.
C
This option defines the maximum number of characters
allowed
on the DOS Commandline.
(Default is 128, which is the
normal
allowable DOS size.)
P
This option defines the positions, on a single line of the
temporary result log, of the filename and return status of
the
transfer.

CHAPTER 11-C
____________
When a user activates a menu command, Renegade executes all of the
commands which have the command letters which were entered by the
user.
If two different commands both have the same command letters in
them,
both commands are executed in the order they are in the menu.
When linking commands together, remember to put a description only
on
the first command in the link, and set the rest to null. This stops
Renegade from displaying the command several times on the generic
menu.

_______________________________
!
This determines whether or not the event is active.
1
This describes the event.
2
This is the type of event that will be executed.
(Up to 80 characters)
There
are
six choices:
ACS -- Enables only certain callers who have the
correct
security settings to access the BBS at a certain
time
of the day.
Chat -- Not implemented yet.
DOS -- Shells to the DOS level and executes files
defined
in the Event Data.
External -- This requires a batch file for execution,
which
is used to detect an ERRORLEVEL value.
Pack -- This event packs the message bases by
removing
all deleted messages and adjusting the number of
messages in each base to conform to the maximum
limit set in the message base editor.
Sort -- This event sorts the file bases by scanning
the
directories and sorting by name.
3
This field will vary with the type of event being
executed.
DOS -- The name of the program to be run.
External -- The ERRORLEVEL value to be used when the
BBS
quits to DOS.
ACS -- The ACS setting that users must have.
All others -- Not used; the event data field will be
ignored.
4
This is the time before an event that the BBS will become
busy.
If a user is online, their online time is adjusted for the
event.
5
This is the time of day that the particular scheduled
event
will occur.
6
It is defined in the 24-hour format.
This field determines whether or not the modem will be
made
busy during the scheduled event.
7
This tells if the event is "Hard" or "Soft". Hard events
will make Renegade shorten a user's time online if it will
keep them on longer then when the event will run. Soft
events
wait for the user to logoff before the event is run.
8
This field determines if the BBS should run the event if
it
missed it the last time it was supposed to be run.
9
This field sets the number of days since the event was
last
run.
A
These are the days of either the regular week, or the
month,
that the scheduled event will occur.
Weekly -- Event will occur at least once every week.
A
bar with the current days active will be displayed as
follows:
Current: SMTWTFS
[
]
Modify by entering "X"'s under the days the event is
to be
active.
Monthly -- This will occur only one day in the month,
and
is modified by entering the day it is to be
run.
B
This field determines which node will run the event.
0
means
the first free node will run it.
[
This will jump back one entry in the list of events.
]
This will move forward one entry in the list of events.
F
This will move to the first entry in the list of events.
L
This will move to the last entry in the list of events.
J
This will jump to a specified entry in the list of events.
Q
Saves all entries in the list of events and returns to the
main editor screen.

CHAPTER 13
MINI-DOS
ENVIRONMENT
_________________________________________________________________________
____
Mini-DOS is a small, compact version of the DOS Commandline.
When
you enter this area, you will see something like:
E:\RENEGADE>
where E:\RENEGADE is your BBS Home directory.
available
here are:
The commands
CD
Normal DOS Change Directory Command
CLS
Normal DOS Clear Screen Command
CONVERT *8*
This command will convert an archived file to
another
archive format.
The proper format for the
command is:
CONVERT FILENAME.EXT XTN
where FILENAME.EXT is the full
drive:\path\filename
with the correct archive extension of the archive
you
want to convert (ie: RENEGADE.ZIP).
XTN is the
archive
extension that you want to convert the original
file to
(ie: ARJ).
COPY
Normal DOS Copy Command.
DEL
Normal DOS Delete Command.
DIR
This command will provide a short DOS directory.
The
use is the same as the normal DOS Directory
Command.
DIRSIZE
This command will provide the amount of space
that a
given filetype takes up.
DIRSIZE FILETYPE[.EXT]
The usage is:
FILETYPE is a valid DOS filename, EXT is an
optional
extension.
Wildcards are allowed.
"DIRSIZE *.ZIP" shows the total size of all the
ZIP
files, while "DIRSIZE *" will show the total size
of
all the files that don't have an extension.
DISKFREE
This command will show the amount of space free
on the
current drive.
EDIT
This command will pop up the old Renegade Editor,
which
is not unlike the DOS command EDLIN.
If no file
is
specified, the file is then asked for.
EXT *5* (*)
This command will allow the command after it (ie:
EXT DIR) to pass to DOS directly, not relying on
Mini-DOS.
EXIT
Normal DOS EXIT Command which will return you to
Renegade.
HELP or ?
This command will pup up the DOSHELP.* file as a
Help
me file.
MD
Normal DOS Make Directory Command.
MOVE
This command will copy a file or a group of files
and then will delete the original files. The
proper
format for this command is:
MOVE FILESPEC.EXT DESTINATION
RD
Normal DOS Remove Directory Command.
RECEIVE
This command will tell Renegade to receive a file
from
the remote computer. The full command is just
"RECEIVE". After pressing enter, Renegade will
prompt
for a protocol, and if the protocol is a nonbatch
protocol, Renegade will prompt for a filename.
REN
Normal DOS Rename File Command.
SEND
This command is the opposite of receive, as it

INFOFORM QUESTIONNAIRE
SYSTEM
_________________________________________________________________________
____
____________
CHAPTER 14-A
____________
Infoform questionnaires are text files with certain commands that
only
have meaning to the BBS. The questionnaire is stored in the MISC
directory, in a file with the extension .INF, .INA or .INV (No
Emulation,
ANSI Emulation, or Avatar Emulation, respectively.) When users
answer
the question(s), their answers are also stored in the MISC
directory, in
a file with the extension ".ASW". Answers from other users are
appended
to the end of the answer file.
____________
CHAPTER 14-B
____________
A special Infoform questionnaire called NEWUSER is always given to a
new
user during the new user logon process.
An example is listed below:
_________________________________________________________________________
____
Alright! Only a few more questions to go before you can logon. Please
answer the questions, as they are essential for Validation and just as a
security measure. Don't worry though.... It's not a test. (it's a
quiz..)
;YAre you the SysOp of a BBS (Y/N)? : *
;INO,NOSYSOP
What is the Phone # of the BBS?

;AHow long has it been running for? *
;GNOSYSOP1
:NOSYSOP
Oh well!
Someone's gotta do it, eh?
:NOSYSOP1
Do you know of any of the current users on this BBS, or any other good
users that could recommend you? (2 lines)

Certain errors while Renegade is online cause it to exit back to
DOS.
Whenever this occurs, the screen image is sent to a file called
ERROR.LOG in your main BBS directory, along with certain pieces of
information such as the time, date, error number, BBS version, the
user
who was on and what baud rate they were on at.
A message is also sent to the SysOp log, and the user's screen when
a
error occurs.
If a error does occur in Renegade, please report it
to
either your local support hub, or one of the Renegade Alpha sites.
Please
send along the information at the top of the section where the error
is in
the ERROR.LOG file.

Renegade
comes out..
Other parts were written by Cott Lang in the "Whatdone" file that is
released with the new versions of Renegade.
Version 10-05 Documentation was brought to you with aid from Daniel

CHAPTER 20
ADVANCED RENEGADE
CUSTOMIZATION
_________________________________________________________________________
____
The power of Renegade lies within its simplistic Menu Editor.
Because of the menu editor, Renegade is able to emulate almost
anything that the other BBS software programs possess except in some
fixed areas such as FILES and MESSAGES. Some advanced techniques
would include CURSOR controlled lightbar menus, multiple graphic
levels and other such features. Included with this documentation, I
have included three extra files. The first one is MISC.ZIP, which
you should unzip into your Renegade MISC\ directory. MENU.ZIP
should be unzipped into MENU\ directory, and STRING.DAT is the
necessary STRING configurations required. _PLEASE_ remember to back
up your information before you install it. What it is is a simple
LIGHTBAR shuttle login. It shows you basically what you can do with
Renegade if you put your mind to it. Do not EDIT any of the ansi
files, for if you do it will append extra characters on the end of
the files which screw it up. Install it, take a look at, learn from
it, and try your own. I am working on a LIFE-SAVING utility (almost
done - out in time for Christmas) which will create the ANS, RIP,
and MNU files required for your LIGHTBARS. The menu itself may not
be perfect and it may overwrite the backdrop. If it does this,
simply take your handy HEX editor, and edit RENEGADE.OVR to take out
the lines that are F***ing it up! I keep telling people, and I want
you to help me out.. TELL COTT LANG TO TAKE *EVERY* STRING IN
EXISTANCE IN RENEGEGADE AND MAKE A STRING.* (where * is ANS, RIP)
like PCBOARD's kinda. It would make expansion Sooooo easy.
Well, that is one advanced customization. The other, is cut down on
your menus. Instead of having a menu for everything, you may want
to think some out, and use a MESSAGE or a FILE core. It is really
too difficult to explain.. but if you snag my RENEGADE STARBASE when
it is finished, you will see... in the meantime... Goodbye!

(D)on't center the menu titles - This tells Renegade to
leave the menu titles uncentered.
This only affects the titles at the top.
(N)o menu prompt toggle - This can be used if you want
to put the menu prompt for the menu in the .ASC or
.ANS file.
(P)Force pause before menu display - The screen will be
paused before the menu is displayed.
(T)Auto-time display toggle - If this is set to on, a
"time-left" string will be inserted right before the
menu prompt.
(Most people use the @V MCI command to insert a
HH:MM:SS type format time left string in their
menu-prompt.)

APPENDIX E
FILE
EXTENSIONS
_________________________________________________________________________
____
Renegade has a complex way of displaying files (Normally the menus.)
Here is a list of possible file extensions, and what they mean.
ASC
Can contain color codes which are displayed to users
who
are in an emulation mode.
ANS
Displayed to those users who have ANSI.
AN1-AN9
If a file with an extension of AN1 exists, Renegade
will pick and display a random file. (ANS, AN1-AN9).
A0S-A6S
These files are displayed on different days of the
week, ranging from 0:Sunday to 6:Saturday. They can
be
used in conjunction with the random files, too.
(WELCOME.A01 for example, means the first (1) random
ANSI
displayed on Sundays).
The order of searching is:
ANS -> A?? -> ASC
AVT
These files follow the same guidelines as the ANSI
files,
except they are displayed to AVATAR emulation users.
(If
this file isn't found, Renegade will try the ANS
file.)
The order of searching is:
AVT -> ANS -> A?? -> ASC
RIP
These files are displayed to the people who are using
RIP
graphic emulation.
The extension follows the same
rules
as ANSI for the Random Files. RIP files are forced to
be displayed, even in Expert Mode. RIP files are also
forced with the PROTBUL, PROTBDL, PROTSUL, and PROTSDL
files.
The order of searching is:
RIP -> ANS -> A?? -> ASC

MODEM INIT

_________________________________________________________________________
____
Just to mention... If you have a modem beyond the normal 2400
baud
modem, MAKE SURE TO LOCK YOUR COM PORT! Maximum Baud Rate:
Suggested is 19,200 baud. You can go to 57,600 baud, but there
is
a tendency to start losing characters on computers without a
16550
UART chip.
Lock the Com Port via Renegade, and you'll also want
to
lock the Baud Rate via Fossil Driver (you don't have to for
Renegade,
but most doors you would run from Renegade will need the fossil
driver locked.) For BNU do "/L:1=19200,8N1", where the 1 is
the COM Port minus 1. (This is my command for locking COM2 at
19,200 baud at 8N1...)

APPENDIX H
HOOKING UP A CDROM
_________________________________________________________________________
____
A CDROM (Compact Disk Read-Only Memory) Device is always a nice
addition to any BBS because of the fact that it can hold
approximately 600+ Megs of information, and when each of the files
are compressed using ARJ/ZIP, that number jumps to over 1200 Megs!
Many of the other
executed in order
one can hook up a
to get your CD up
Bulletin Board Systems would require a DOOR to be
to access the CDROM. Through Renegade's interface,
CDROM with very little difficulty. The easiest way
and running is to follow these 5 easy steps:
(1) Install the CDROM and get it working in DOS
(2) Create a CONFERENCE ($ on WFC Screen) for each CD Disk you wish
to put on-line.
(3) Create however many categories there are on the CD Disk, and
enter the filename as CDROMxx in order (So if there are a total
of 200 categories combined between two CDs, you would create
CDROM1 through to CDROM200). Set the ACS to Cx (where x is the
conference tag for that particular CD disk)
(4) Enter the Paths and Descriptions for each of the directory
paths.
(5) Here is the tricky part - getting the file descriptions into
Renegade. Well, if your CD has FILES.BBS in each directory,
then I suggest that you download Kludgeware's FileIn 5.x
utility (available on most Renegade Support Systems). If your
CD does not have FILES.BBS in each directory, then you are
going to have to do it the old fashioned way - LOCAL UPLOAD..
and have Renegade Search for FILE_ID.DIZ / DESC.SDI.
There you go - all done! Here is a typical file Base setup:

SETTING UP A
DOOR

Doors have got to be the easiest thing to set up. Let us use Legend
Of the Red Dragon as an example. Legend of the Red Dragon,
depending on how you have it configured, requires A) A path to the
drop file and B) A node number if you are running multinode. Here
is a sample batch file.
@ECHO OFF
CD\DOORS\LORDS
LORD /PC:\RENEGADE\DROP%1\DOOR.SYS /N%1
CD\RENEGADE
That is the easiest setup. The %1 is the variable that Renegade
passes to the batch file. Here is the Menu Settings

INSTALLING
RENEGADE
_________________________________________________________________________
____
To install Renegade, follow these steps, and it will be basically
setup.
1) Type "MD [BBSPATH]" where [BBSPATH] is the path on the drive
where
the BBS will be located (like C:\RENEGADE).
2) Change directory to BBS Path by typing "CD [BBSPATH]", then
change
to the drive where [BBSPATH] is located (like C:).
3) Unpack the Renegade Archive by typing "[PATH] Renegade", where
[PATH] is the path to where the Renegade.Exe archive is.
4) Type "INSTALL".
4a)Install will ask for the directory to install Renegade to.
Enter
"[BBSPATH]" as above.
4b)Install will now do some disk access, then ask for the
directory
where the external protocols are to be stored. The external
protocols are the files such as DSZ.EXE and GSZ.EXE, etc.
Most
setups have "[BBSPATH]\PROT". (You might want to grab the
file
RGPROT10.ZIP. It has a bunch of protocols and the Data file
for
Renegade to use them all.)
4c)Install will now ask where the external archivers are to be
stored.
These files are the files Pkzip, ARJ, etc...
"[BBSPATH]\ARCS".
Most setups have
5) Run the batch file "INST" which should be in the Renegade
archive.
This will delete unneeded files, and then instruct you to
delete
it.
6) You should now be at the Waiting for Call screen.
Press "S"
and
go through the System Configuration, setting the BBS up as you
want.
7) If you haven't already, get ahold of a Fossil Driver (such as
X00
or BNU), and install it.
Renegade needs one to run.
That should be all you need to do to install Renegade.
If you
didn't
get the INST.BAT file in the Renegade Archive, or off the BBS you
got
the original archive from, the files you can delete after
installation
are "INSTALL.EXE, README.NOW, RGMAIN.DAT, RGMISC.DAT, RGMENU.DAT
and
RGDATA.DAT". These files were only needed by the install
program, and
aren't needed by Renegade again.

Renegade is still in Beta testing which anyone running Renegade is
doing.
Even though it says to Register the program, there is currently no way
to
do so. As soon as the program is in a way that is mostly bug-free, and
is
good enough to be released, it will be out of Beta testing and be

SPECIAL MENU
FILES
_________________________________________________________________________
____
Typically, people will have a menu called START.MNU. This is
usually defined as the startout menu, which is the menu that is
accessed right before going to the main menu.
FILEP.MNU is the menu that is used while scanning through the
file
bases.
READP.MNU is the menu that is used while reading through
the
message bases.
NEWINFO.MNU is the menu that is used where a new
user
logging on can change the user information.
These menus all used
to
be an internal to Renegade, but now they have been moved to a
separate
file to allow for flexibility.
Another note, at NEWINFO.MNU, the
user
does not have a User Number yet.
Do NOT use any commands (such
as
Read Mail) at this menu.
GLOBAL.MNU is a separate menu file that will allow its commands
to be accessed from anywhere on the BBS. One thing that will
not work however, is the GOSUB MENU command (-/). Other than
that - everything else works.

APPENDIX O
SETTING UP
CONFERENCES
_________________________________________________________________________
____
Ok. You want to set up some conferences. This section will explain how
I
have my system setup. On my system, I have 4 CD-ROM discs which I switch
weekly. I have each CD-ROM setup in it's own Conference (A, B, C, and
E.) I
tell my users which disc is up each week, and then all they have to do is
switch to that conference, and they can access the file directories as
they
normally would. This gives me a little bit of "playing room" where I can
turn
the ACS for a certain CD-ROM up to a point where only I can get to it,
without
having to go through 60+ file base entries, and change the ACS to enter
the
base. Ok, let's get into the nitty gritty parts. If you goto the
Conference
Editor ($ from the WFC), you will see at least see the @ conference. @
is the
conference you should use as the "general" conference. I have mine set
up as
the hard drive. Let's say you wanted to add the Nor'Easter Software
Shareware
Bonanza disc (doesn't exist, but I can dream.) You'd choose M for
modify, and
enter the letter of your choice. Let's choose A just for the heck of it.
You
are now asked for the name you wish to give this conference. I'll call
it the
NES Shareware CD. After you hit enter, you are asked for a Access
Setting.
This is the point where most people get confused. This is the access
that a
user must have to have access to that conference. I'll choose "vv" for
validated user. That's it! The conference is now all setup.
Next part. Since Nor'Easter software has 34 programs out, all of which
will
fit on a 720k floppy, we have one directory on the disc. You want to
goto the
file base editor, and create the directory as you would a normal hard
drive
directory. For the download path, set it equal to the directory on the
disc.
The upload directory is a tad different. Renegade allows you to have
uploads
to a CD-ROM directory. "What? How's that? I can't write to CD's..."
Here's
how it works. The upload will be stored on the path you choose for
uploads
(ie: A Hard Drive directory.) When people list files, the listing will
show
both the files on the hard drive and on the cd-rom, and if they want to
download a file, both the CD-rom and hard drive are checked to find where
the
file exists, and then that file is downloaded. If you don't really care
for
this option, set the Upload directory to the actual disc directory. Ok,
the
second confusing thing for most people; the ACS for entry to the base,
uploads
and downloads. The easiest way to do this is to set the upload and
download
ACS like you normally would. I have download as "vv", and upload
(remember,
it's a CD-rom) ACS set to "%" so no one can upload. The ACS required to
access the directory is the tricky part. Since you have Conference A
setup as
this disc, make sure that CA is in the string. This means that the user
must
be in Conference A before they can see the directory. If you had two
directories, and wanted to limit one of them, just add whatever you want
to the
ACS (for adult CD-roms let's say, you can add "FY" so only people with AR
Flag
Y have access to the directory, AND they must be in Conference A (CAFY is
the
actual ACS))
That is the trickiest part of understanding conferences. If you have
your hard
drive setup as conference @, make sure that "C@" is in the ACS for the
hard
drive directories. If not, they will show up in all the other
conferences.
It's hard to explain. Think of conferences as simply a way to categorize
access to certain parts of your board.

QUESTIONS

____
Q: My modem will connect to a user, but Renegade just sits there,
displaying the "Renegade is Answering Phone" message, and then inits the
modem again.
A: Make sure there is a V0 in the init string. Most common
fix. Also make sure the result codes are correct, and also make sure
there is a W2 in the init string (HS modems.).
Q: I don't know my result codes.
A: Simple! If you don't want to use the numbers, simply initialize
with a V1 in the init string, and in the result code setup, simply
enter the verbal definitions, which is displayed earlier on in the
docs.
Q: My HS modem will connect to people at 9600 and above, but when people
at 2400 call, all they get is garbage, but on my side it works fine.
A: Lock the baud rate via Fossil and in Renegade...
Q: When I send netmail from Renegade, my front door never seems to find
it.
A: Take the Network.Dat file from a full version of Renegade, copy it to
your data directory, and re-install all of the information. Also
ensure that Frontdoor is set up properly and is responding to the
ERRORLEVEL codes.
