Short: HydraBBS, Door coders wanted (C) Author: dominicc@barrysworld.co.uk (Dominic Clifton - Hydra^cP!) Uploader: dominicc barrysworld co uk Type: comm/bbs Architecture: m68k-amigaos 8.3 name: cP!-HBDC.LHA HydraBBS door coders wanted =========================== HydraBBS is a new BBS system written by myself, it offers unmatched configurablilty for sysops and loads of nice touches for users. For HydraBBS to really succeed I need some coders to code some new doors for HydraBBS, or to port doors from other BBS systems to HydraBBS. HydraBBS is really simple for door coders to get to grips with, it has two shared libries that offer *complete* direct access to any bit of information about the BBS that you could want, as well a whole host of *really* handy functions and routines to make accessing this data a user friendly as possible. For instance, to get a line of 40 characters of text from the user, that times out after 10 seconds, and displays a countdown timer, provides full line editing and command history,and only allows specific characters, and converts the input to upper case, and dis-allows OLM's, and prompt the user with a text message, you'd just do this: strcpy(N_ND->CharsAllowed,"ABCDE12345-_"); DOOR_GetLine(GL_EDIT | GL_DISPLAY | GL_HISTORY | GL_COUNTDOWN | GL_USECHARS|GL_CVTUPPER|GL_NOOLM, '\0',40,10,"Give me some text :"); How cool is that ? Do that in AmiExpress :-) hehe... Want to tag a file in the current conference ? DOOR_SystemUser("A",filename); Want to display an ANSI screen, particular to the current conference and node, with embedded commands ? No problem: DOOR_DisplaySpecialScreen("my_special_screen"); Want to display a text file ? DOOR_DisplayScreen("HBBS:Storage/Misc/MyTextFile.TXT"); It's just great, m8! *SPECIAL OFFER* For a limited period only, if you code a HydraBBS door of good enough quality and give me the source code for release in future versions of HydraBBS, you'll become a full registered user! If you want to code doors for HydraBBS, you can get the full source code to HydraBBS, with *loads* of example source code, for free, then send an e-mail to: IWantToCodeHBBSDoors@dsltd.force9.co.uk And I'll sort you out! WebSite ======= HydraBBS has it's own website, http://come.to/hydrabbs (or for those that like typing in long url's: Http://www.dsltd.force9.co.uk On it you can find the very latest information and upgrades as well as a Web Bases Support Forum where you can post and read messages from other HydraBBS users.
