Hi folks.

Back in 1991 (I think it was in 1991) I had a BBS door installed called Univarsal Mayhem which is a very complex space game which was a multi-bbs door which populated the universe with other players via fido address's. I have it installed, and I'm needing to know if anyone has ever thought to start up a network for Univarsal Mayhem?

Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here. If anyone does know if there is someone who is hosting the Node for this game I would like to join in, and have my BBS be part of it.

If you are wondering about the door here is a link to the BBS door game.

Thanks Ogg.

Too bad, Universal Mayhem is incredible. One of the best doors I have ever played. It even beats out Tradewars which is a tall order.

Thanks again.

Hi.

Cool. It's pretty complex, and it was a big game back in the day on Fido BBS's. I took part in it, and it was amazing.

Cheers, and I hope you enjoy it.

Hi esc.

This door is something I have enjoyed since 1993. When it was big back in it's day many people played it, and it's actually one of the most complex space games made for BBS's.

I suggest that you read the manual because it will come in handy, and I'm sure you will see how much you can do in this game.

Outside of the obvious (at least I think is obvious) you are able to do something I haven't come across for any other BBS or even todays online games which is you can setup a special profile for your ship, and how it will react when you are away. You might be amazed on how solid this particular game option is if you ever decide to use it.

My hope is that this game will be brought back, and supported by BBS's again. I literally spends thousands of hours playing it back when it came out, and when I took part of Fido in 93.

Well, great to know you picked it up, and I hope you enjoy it.

Cheers.

mind letting me know where you got a copy? the download i found seems to have some missing files

some idea on how you got it setup in scfg would be helpful too

as for routing, i'm sure we could probably use the fsx netmail addresses, unless it needs to be an actual echo ?

This door is something I have enjoyed since 1993. When it was big back
in it's day many people played it, and it's actually one of the most complex space games made for BBS's.

I installed it late last night and had a brief look, and yeah, definitely seems complex :P

I'm somewhat of a layperson with some of these more strategic games like Ultimate Universe and TW2002. So I assume this will be a tough one for me to wrap my head around as well.

I suggest that you read the manual because it will come in handy, and
I'm sure you will see how much you can do in this game.

Something I am admittedly terrible at doing, ha!

Outside of the obvious (at least I think is obvious) you are able to do something I haven't come across for any other BBS or even todays online games which is you can setup a special profile for your ship, and how it will react when you are away. You might be amazed on how solid this particular game option is if you ever decide to use it.

Sweet, I'll give this a look. I think some games have "default behavior when attacked" or some such construct but this is interesting.

My hope is that this game will be brought back, and supported by BBS's again. I literally spends thousands of hours playing it back when it
came out, and when I took part of Fido in 93.

It looks to me like this game is designed intentionally for some sort of FTN aspect; I don't know how well independent games would work. That said I have very little familiarity with it at this point anyway.

Well, great to know you picked it up, and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks!

It has been for many years. You know someone back in 2003 asked me that now you you have mentioned it. I do not know if they ever found it but I'm sure someone was looking to turn it into paid content.

Very cool. There is a utility which comes with the game called Uremote which checks, and packs, and tosses the packed data files, and whcih sends off to a hb (person who takes on that small job), and passes it off to those who have the game installed.

You know the deal, same with a few other online doors out there.

The game is very complex, and once you get to understand the commands it is one of the best games you can ever play online.

Reading the game manual is the only real way to understand how deep, and solid this game is.

Cheers.

Once you get comfortable with the commands it becomes very easy. I had a hard time with it at first but after
about a 1/2 hour I was a pro. You can also string several commands in one command line which can make it so much more easier. There are examples of how to do it in the game manual.

Just take your time, if you make mistakes which we all do even those who have played it for awhile don't get frustrated. I'm not one of those complex game playing people either but I got pretty good with it.

I suggest that you read the manual because it will come in handy, and
I'm sure you will see how much you can do in this game.

Something I am admittedly terrible at doing, ha!

Haaa. Not a problem, learn by doing. Just type in HELP at anytime, and you will get a help menu. Then go from there.

Absolutely. Not only did you have folks playing the game on your BBS but it was specifically designed to
open the game universe to every BBS who used Fido. It was incredible.

Well, great to know you picked it up, and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks!

You're always welcome. Take care, and have fun with the door, it's well worth the effort.

I've become spoiled over recent years where now I almost never read documentation and instead find someone doing something on YouTube. I bet if there was a true "This is how to play TW2002" video I'd be a pro by now, maybe someone reading this will want to cover Mayhem :P

I'm the same way. Now that I started to get back into the game I find it a lot harder than what I remember. I'm always pulling up the help menu, and even then I make all kinds of mistakes.

Hello Charles.

It's nothing like other space domination games from that era. It does quite a bit but once you get use the command structure it's pretty incredible. The person who made it made sure it stayed free, and he never charged for it.

For what you can do it outshines most other online games.

Hard as old heck though.

found a download of it. i'll be putting it up on mine for sure if i can

i

gure out how to node it for others i can run

that too..

Just make sure it's 2.0. That last version is solid, and no bugs that I'm

ware of. The name of the game is called MAYHEM20.

Also a small hint, read the game manual, it's well worth it.

YUP, I have a copy of it now and is up on my board if anyone wants to
get it. I have it running on the board and have to sit down now and
read multiple pages of the manual lol

I'm in if we can get something started. I'm trying to set it up (just basic functionality) in Synchronet and seems to be
working but I'm a long way from routing fido msg's for the game!

mind letting me know where you got a copy? the download i found seems to have some missing files

some idea on how you got it setup in scfg would be helpful too

I can only make it work properly with doorway, which is not ideal but it works. doorway.exe SYS /B:MSZ /G:ON /K:120 /O:T /S:D:\sbbs\xtrn\mayhem\ /W: /80 /P:mayhem.exe

I got the game installed and running. Haven't really got into it yet. Had anyone figured out what address to use for the Mail and Other players info from other BBSes? Should we be using our fsxnet Netmail address?

I left all that as-is and changed one of the options to 'no' regarding whether or not to use that feature. I don't think we have any interbbs setup yet so it's all just local games.

I think that's what everyone is doing. Hopefully we can get the inter BBS games going.

It would be nice to have someone who can host this game so we can import other players from other BBS's. The game back in it's day was incredible. Hard, but still one of the most enagaging games made for a BBS.

anyone of us can host it i beleive, but i'm wondering if there's a way we can do it via an ECHO (havent had chance to read the docs yet) or is it all done via netmail.

if it's done via an echo then maybe we can get an echo created for stuff like this? above my paygrade though./

I dont mind helping out if i can

Hi Charles.

All of this is way above my pay grade. I have no real idea on how to even go about setting something like this up. I have read through the doc a few times, and I'm scratching my head.

I'll continue on reading, maybe something will click. I do remember back in the early nineties having the config setup to point toward the person who was the hub for transferring the netmail along with the ship data but that was so long ago I have forgotten everything since then.

It's somewhat sad to see a game of this quality to go to the wayside, and be overlooked. It is a great game. Yes a little complicated but it's well worth the effort.

If anything changes on my end I'll let you know.

Cheers.

Hey all.

I have just been skimming this thread but am happy to host the interbbs stuff (assuming I can get things working) at the 21:1/10 Usenet + Games HUB.

I've not downloaded any files at the time of writing this nor know if it's available for Windows or?

TL;DR - it's a regular DOS door that has a program that generates a netymail with attachment that goes to a hub. the hub takes them all in and spits them all back out to the other players.

And there is subspace mail which is posted to the echo MAYHEM (I think it's hard coded).

Thanks! This version of the door only supports COM1 and COM2, which is a problem for me.
