Installing Scorpion 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).

  Scorpion_01_Prelogin.ans      ->  prelogon.ans  (pick one)
  Scorpion_02_Login.ans         ->  prelogon.ans  (pick one)
  Scorpion_03_Login.ans         ->  prelogon.ans  (pick one)
  Scorpion_04_Main_Menu.ans     ->  main.ans  (menu display file)
  Scorpion_05_Message_Menu.ans  ->  msgmenu.ans  (menu display file)
  Scorpion_06_Door_Menu.ans     ->  doors.ans  (menu display file)
  Scorpion_14_Logoff.ans        ->  logoff.ans

Menus: Mystic menus each name their own display file. In the menu editor, set the menu's display file to the name shown (or any name you like) and copy the screen there.

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: Scorpion_07_Menu.ans, Scorpion_08_Menu.ans, Scorpion_09_Menu.ans, Scorpion_10_Menu.ans, Scorpion_11_Menu.ans, Scorpion_12_Menu.ans, Scorpion_13_Menu.ans, Scorpion_15_Header.ans, Scorpion_16_Header.ans, Scorpion_17_Header.ans, Scorpion_18_Header.ans, Scorpion_19_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).

  Scorpion_01_Prelogin.ans      ->  text/answer.msg  (pick one)
  Scorpion_02_Login.ans         ->  text/answer.msg  (pick one)
  Scorpion_03_Login.ans         ->  text/answer.msg  (pick one)
  Scorpion_04_Main_Menu.ans     ->  text/menu/main.ans
  Scorpion_05_Message_Menu.ans  ->  text/menu/msgscan.ans
  Scorpion_06_Door_Menu.ans     ->  text/menu/xtrn_sec.ans
  Scorpion_14_Logoff.ans        ->  text/menu/logoff.ans

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: Scorpion_07_Menu.ans, Scorpion_08_Menu.ans, Scorpion_09_Menu.ans, Scorpion_10_Menu.ans, Scorpion_11_Menu.ans, Scorpion_12_Menu.ans, Scorpion_13_Menu.ans, Scorpion_15_Header.ans, Scorpion_16_Header.ans, Scorpion_17_Header.ans, Scorpion_18_Header.ans, Scorpion_19_Header.ans.
