It's therefore one of the fastest chatters available right now. You can swap ansi screens/Xy sets by pressing the F4 key. Greetz fly out to: Vertigo - thanx for the daily testing dude Mad Max - for saying it rewls.. ehr.. dunnow who can be greeted... hehe.. all of u (using damchat) Ä D’MCH’T ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Generation I Ä * Installing DamChat Well, that's the easy part, just throw damchat in one of the directories you want. DamChat will also search for all other files in the directory where it resists so put the ansi's in that dir as well! You have now installed DamChat. For the commandline options, just type DAMCHAT /? and some examples will be shown. Type the following to configure DamChat: C:\BBS\CHAT\DAMCHT CFG You can change all standard settings in that screen, use (shift-)TAB and ENTER to move the cursor-position. There are two different screen-combinations possible, and you must configure these first. The XY coordinates are located in the upper-part of the screen, you can change the coordinate-set by pressing F1 (sorry.. this changing is only available when editing colors or the yelltime. The filenames of the ansi's are: DAMCHT1.ANS - for the first coordinate-set DAMCHT2.ANS - for the second coordinate-set * There are some things to pay attention too, some X/Y positions can give strange results since the program doesn't do any internal checking. The program also doesn't have any internal time checking, so if a user spends 2 hours in the chatter, thats no problem. But watch out when entering the board again, he will probably be kicked out :) And when logged on locally, DAMchat will always display on the commandline "Dude from Local at 0 bps". * You can define 100 macro's in the file DAMCHT.MAC. A file with examples is included. All lines are in the format , Ä D’MCH’T in REMOTE ACCESS ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Generation I Ä * Setting up DamChat in Remote Access This works basicly the same as with any other chatter, just put in your global menu an execute type-7 option containing the following data: *C /C C:\\DAMCHT.EXE -C:\RA\ Ä D’MCH’T in PCBOARD 15.x ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Generation I Ä * Setting up DamChat in PCboard This couldn't be easier! PCB generally has only _VERY SLOW_ and not very sysop and userfriendly chatters in PPE.. this door can also be used in PCBOARD! just do the following: Make an entry in your doors menu with the keyword/batchname "CHAT". Set the swap field at "S" to make PCB swap out, and toggle the DOOR.SYS field to "yes" so pcb makes a door.sys. Damchat needs this file for various info. then go to your dos and edit the batchfile CHAT, and put the following line in it: C:\\DAMCHT.EXE PCB YELL -C:\PCB\ The next step is to go to your CMD.LST editor in PCBSETUP. Enter in the command field: "O" . Then go to the "keystrokes to replace" field and enter the line "OPEN CHAT". When the users enters "O" at the commandline prompt DamChat will pop up! happy chatting dudes ;) Ä D’MCH’T ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Generation I Ä What are the keys in chat-mode?
