What the fuck is NodeInfo ?
NodeInfo is an REXX-DOOR for AmiExpress versions 2.33 and higher, created
for multinode boards to display information about what it happening on
the other nodes. Furthermore NodeInfo features 'Node To Node Message Send'
with which every user may send one-line messages to all other nodes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What 'bout da Options ?
There are currently three options which NodeInfo may be startet with :
SEND - to deliver one-line online messages to other nodes
SHAKE - to bring sum sort of screen earthquake to other nodes
? - to display the help page
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
How To Install That Thang ?
Just copy the directory "Ninfo" to your standard 'doors:' directory,
then create an entry for NodeInfo in the 'BBS:Commands/BBS.CMD' file
and edit the config at the top of the file "Ninfo/Ninfo.Rexx" until
it fits for your purposes.
Example entry for the command list :
*NODE RM010DOORS:NINFO/NINFO.REXX
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sum hints for setting up the config lines:
The REXX-Code will look similar to this :
/***************[ DA PREFS ! EDIT HERE PLEASE !! ]*********************/
Yes =1
No =0
MinNode =0 <- Your lowest node number
MaxNode =2 <- Your highest " "
SysopNode =0 <- Which of them is the SysopNode ?
DisplaySysop =Yes <- Display the SysopNode ?
SendLevel =100 <- Min. level required for 'Node Send'
ShakeLevel =100 <- " " " " 'Node Shake'
HardCore =250 <- " " " " Hardcore page
MaxLines =5 <- Max Number Of Lines On 'Node Send'
^^^ NEW OPTION SINCE V2.5 !! Check it out !
DefaultName ="No One" <- Name/Location to be displayed on
DefaultLocation="No Man's Land" <- free nodes ...
/**********************************************************************/
Here we go:
Well, at first you have to tell NodeInfo how many nodes you've got.
You do this with the 'minNODE' and 'maxNODE' values, whereas 'minNODE'
should be set to the lowest node number and 'maxNODE' to the highest numba!
Normally sysops have their own console node running, so you've got to tell
NodeInfo which of these nodes is your private node - do this by setting the
'SYSOPNODE' entry to the according node number. Now you've got to decide
wether NodeInfo shall display your sysop-node. Tell the door your decision
by setting 'DISPLAYSYSOP' to 'YES' or 'NO'
(btw: if you don't have a sysop node (what a shame!!) just add 1 to the
'maxNODE' value, set 'SYSOPNODE' also to this value and toggle
'DISPLAYSYSOP' to 'NO' !!)
With the entries 'SENDLEVEL' and 'SHAKELEVEL' you may set the security
level at least needed to use these options. If a user runs the door
with one of these options without havin' the required level, NodeInfo will
act just normal, ignoring the given option !
The value of 'HARDCORE' is the minimal required level to enable the
hardcore page option! Hardcore Page may occur if you want to send
a message to another node. If the user on this node is doing nothing-
no problem ... your message will go thru ... but what e.g. if he's
just starting an upload? There are several situations when NodeInfo
won't post your message, because of the high risk of crashing the
system (some of these are file transfers, door activities etc.)
But there are still sum left which are not that dangerous ... so
if you got the 'HARDCORE' level you may decide for yourself if
ya want to send the mail ! (To 'normal'-leveled users the
message send will still be denied !)
Long bla bla, short meaning : The higher the hardcore level, the
fewer user may use it, the safer is your system ! I think Level 250
should be okay !!
NEW FEATURES :
With the MaxLine value you may set the maximal number of lines a user
can post via 'Node Send'
Yo... That's It !

History:
V 0.01 : Written for DETONATION BOULEVARD! Online debugged! hehe
V 0.02 - 1.99 : Tested, rewritten .. still several bugs
V 2.00 - 2.2 : Dedicated to BOONDOCKS
V 2.3 : First time released to the public !
V 2.4 : (Not released)
Minor bugfixes especially in the HardCore-page option
where sum ErrorMessages have been missing.
V 2.5 : 'MaxLine=' Value
Now you are able to set the maximal number of lines
which a user may post via 'Node Send'
Enhanced 'About'-page which displays the current settings
