Changes to BRE nodes

Please all inter-bbs nodes ensure that you update and use the
latest brnodes.dat sent to your inbox in your game ASAP
the following BBS have changed node numbers in the config file.

* Bottomless Abyss BBS 21:1/172 (was node 8 now node 7)
* Blackfair's Manor BBS 21:4/152 (was node 9 now node 8)
* Shadowscope BBS 21:1/157 (was node 13 now node 9)
* Deadbeatz BBS 21:2/123 (was node 14 now node 10)

All games will be reset now.

GD game ID is now 82
FH game ID is now 22

check you system has the latest ID and the latest CFG file
for both GD and FH. I will send them to your inbox to be sure
for nodes that I have as still active.

Both FH and GD will be updated to a new version in the coming
week. I will post an update when they are hatched. This will be
followed by a further reset for GD and FH a day or so later.

** WARNING **

I am also going to start purging systems that just don't send
any recon packets into the HUB despite seemingly polling (or not)
for game packets. If a sysop can't ensure their inter-bbs game
is keeping in touch with the HUB daily then it's not really
an inter-bbs game is it?

Systems that fail to send recon packets risk being deleted after
7 days of inactivity. There are a number of nodes in this camp
and I'm kinda over chasing sysops to get recon data sent etc.
You have been warned. You will soon be removed if you remain
inactive by not sending recon packets in.

Crack that whip... :)

Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it

I don't even know what a recon package is. How do I send one?

If you are in the league the software generates packets that report back to
the HUB and the copy of the game being run at the HUB.. you'll see these info in the posts that come from the HUB each day in BOT echo.

The instructs to run both GD and FH and BRE cover how to run the games and steps to take to send back to the HUB the locally created packets from a
member BBS that also contain that telem recon data.

There are some systems taking inter-bbs game packets but never sending
anything back, so on the face of it, it looks like they are not even
configured correctly, and if folks were playing the copy of the game locally
on a BBS their scores etc. would never be sent in to the HUB for distribution out to other nodes involved in the league.

I missed that this was for the games stuff. I'm not a part of that. :)

=============================

Added 4/166 Black Lodge Research to BRE, FH, GD

Added 3/121 ElGringo BBS to BRE

Please Deadbeatz BBS 21:2/123 check you are using the correct brnodes.dat file You were node 14 but are now node 10. No recons have been seen since this change back on 29/9

Both GD and FH game id remain the same at this stage

At this stage no resets will be issued while I still try to help
nodes confirm they are connected and polling etc.

A new version of GD and FH will be released in the coming weeks
When they are sent I will post an update here and it's important
that everyone update to these versions else packets won't be
processed correctly.

now.
