Hi Everyone,

I know it's been awhile since you've seen any releases from RCS. It's not that we haven't been doing anything, but working on a few MPLs that are VERY exciting!

I would like to let everyone know about a release that will be coming out as soon as we tidy things up a bit.

RCS Game Room

This MPL will give new and experienced Sysops the ability to set up both DoorParty and BBSLink games in minutes, instead of taking hours. You also have the ability to set up local games as well.

The RCS Game Room is a complete door game menu system, and included in the archive are menus (ini files) already set up to work with DoorParty, BBSLink, both DoorParty & BBSLink, along with local games.

Each 'menu' within the MPL, is completely lightbar driven, and will also work with hotkeys. Also, each menu is completely configurable! You can add / remove games in seconds.

And, if that wasn't enough, we've also added a scrolling marquee on each of the game menus, that will show the Top 5 games played! The main menu, when you enter the MPL, will give you the overall Top 5 games played. These Top 5 lists are completely real-time, so as soon as you exit a game, you can see the new updated list scrolling on the screen.

There is also a bunch of great looking ANSI files for these menus included. I would like to send out a HUGE Thank You, to the following for their hard work on these ANSIs.

All ANSI files included in the archive are copyrighted to the individual artists, and are used with permission in this release.

So, keep an eye out for this to be released within the next day or so. I have
a feeling this is going to be a popular release, and I'm excited to be able to see what people can do with this!

Hi,

I tried to install per the instructions. When I attempt to run it I get a "menu ini file not found" (or very similar) and it get's stuck there.

I put the rcsmenus and rcsmenudat in the default scripts folder.

For this setting:
//Name indicated in the ini file for your top (main) menu //This needs to match what it in the ini file, as it determines which Top 5 to display MAIN_MENU = 'rcsmain'

Is this refering to the "main" main menu, or the main menu for rscmenu? I've tried both with same results.

did you make your menu command followed by the data? "rcsmenu rcsmenu" - It's like this because a sysOp could have other .INI setups for other menus. If you only executed "rcsmenu" that would be why it failed. If you've renamed any INIs or are trying to modify things you'd still need
"rcsmenu mysetupfile".
Hope that makes sense.

It looks like paulie answered this one, and I think that is probably causing the issue you're seeing.

For this setting:
//Name indicated in the ini file for your top (main) menu //This
needs to mat ch what it in the ini file, as it determines which Top 5 to display MAIN_MENU = 'rcsmain'

Is this refering to the "main" main menu, or the main menu for rscmenu?

This setting is just for the name of the 'main' menu. It's used to indicate which of the menus will display the Top 5 games overall. So, if it's named 'main' in it's ini file, it will need the name 'main' for that variable as well.

I hope that helps. :)
