Installing Goblin on your BBS
=============================

The .ans files at the top of this folder are ready to use: no SAUCE, no EOF marker. Copy each one to the name your BBS looks for, listed below. Back up the files you replace first.

MYSTIC BBS
----------
Where: your theme's text folder, for example mystic/themes/default/text/ (file names in lower case on Linux).

  Goblin_01_Welcome.ans  ->  logon1.ans
  Goblin_02_Login.ans    ->  prelogon.ans  (one at random)
  Goblin_03_Login.ans    ->  prelogon.1.ans  (one at random)

Several screens for one spot: Mystic picks one at random each time. Keep one as name.ans and name the others name.1.ans, name.2.ans and so on.

No standard spot on Mystic BBS: Goblin_04_Menu.ans, Goblin_05_Menu.ans, Goblin_06_Menu.ans, Goblin_07_Menu.ans, Goblin_08_Menu.ans, Goblin_09_Menu.ans, Goblin_10_Header.ans. Show these from a menu or a script.

SYNCHRONET
----------
Where: the sbbs folder: menus in text/menu/, the rest in text/ (put your own copies in mods/ to keep them through upgrades).

  Goblin_01_Welcome.ans  ->  text/menu/logon.ans
  Goblin_02_Login.ans    ->  text/answer.msg  (pick one)
  Goblin_03_Login.ans    ->  text/answer.msg  (pick one)

Several welcome screens: name them random1.ans, random2.ans and so on, and Synchronet shows one at random at each logon. Other spots show a single file: pick your favorite.

No standard spot on Synchronet: Goblin_04_Menu.ans, Goblin_05_Menu.ans, Goblin_06_Menu.ans, Goblin_07_Menu.ans, Goblin_08_Menu.ans, Goblin_09_Menu.ans, Goblin_10_Header.ans. Show these from a menu or a script.
