Copyright 2005 by Donald G. Tidmore.  {HitsWarn.txt}
=============================================================

                             IGM Usage Warnings:
                       =================================

By using this IGM you automatically accept all limitations and
rules that this IGM uses.  Violation of those rules and limits
may result in termination of your right to free Technical support
for this IGM.  

    The usage Rules are as follows:

1) You may NOT, under any circumstance, add your own lines to
SHADOWS.CFG file.  That can cause the IGM to malfunction.

2) NEVER use the IGM or Setup program with the IGM's data files
write-protected.  The IGM or ShadCfg.exe WILL crash if they try
to modify a file, and are unable to do so.

3) Program Configuration/Installation.  All five text fields are
limited to 40-space data.  This is so that they appear normally
when you view the configuration data on-screen.  Usage of LORD
Color codes inside Shadows.cfg is NOT allowed.

4) This IGM will only work with DOS LORD.  This IGM is NOT usable
with LORD/32 beta or LORD/X Beta.  It never will be either.  A
32-bit version will be produced for specific usage with Lord/32,
which may run under Lord/X, whenever it starts running 32-bit IGMs.

5) Don't try to create/update the IGM Usage reports if you don't
have a Shadplay.dat file.  IGM/SHADCFG will crash if you attempt
to access an older Shadplay.dat file if it uses a different player
database structure.

6) Do NOT ever manually delete any primary-level IGM data file,
such as SHADPLAY.DAT, while the IGM is running.  Avoid manual
editing of any IGM text file while using the IGM or SHADCFG.EXE.

Regarding OUT files, remember that un-installing the IGM will
automatically delete all OUT files made by Hiding In The Shadows.

If another IGM is used to evict a player from this IGM, such as
The Pawn Shop, that IGM usually will delete the player's OUT file
that showed that player as being asleep in the affected IGM.

7) During IGM installation, Hiding In the Shadows will only
do actual installation if both SHADOWS.EXE and SHADCFG.EXE
are found in the directory that you specify as the IGM's location.

Installation is also terminated if the IGM is unable to find
LORD.EXE where you tell it to look.
=============================================================


                              IGM Usage Limits:
                       ===============================
1) Players are automatically protected from being killed by IGM
if they have paid for Conan's protection.  If player is killed,
and they have a Fairy, it is allowed to save you ONE time per day.

If on repeat visit to igm, on same day, you get killed again, then
you stay dead until the next LORD game day.  Fairy Rescue ONLY
works in Hall of Illusion IGM event - it is the only one that will
kill players.  

2) Vault robbery attempts are limited to TWO per day.  The vault
can only be robbed ONE time per day.  If you succeed on first try,
you are not allowed to visit the Vault again until the next day.

If you are captured robbing the vault, or trying to do so, then
you lose half of whatever Gold and Gems you were carrying.

Vault robbery success: Gems gain is limited to 4,000 gems maximum.
Minimum gems gain is 50 gems.  Gold gain is limited to 250 Million
Gold maximum or 20% of player's LORD Gold in Bank, whichever is
the lower amount.

3) Wishing Well, Hall of Illusion, The Corridor, Garden of Lust:
Those events may only be used ONE time per day.  However, if you
enter one and then simply exit, you MAY be allowed to return to
that event again later in day.

4) Player may only use the IGM a maximum of 5 times per day. If
they are on a BBS, the sysop may make the IGM usable between 1
and 5 times per day during IGM configuration.

5) ATM Access only works if you have money in your LORD Bank
account.  All users have to pay an access fee to Conan for EACH
access of the ATM.  Fees are limited to max of 5 Million Gold.

ATM Deposit/Withdrawal requests that would cause Gold in Hand
or Gold in Bank to go negative, or go over Two Billion, are not
allowed by the IGM.

6) As noted elsewhere, Wishing Well may only be used ONE time/day.
If you make a wish, and IGM can not fulfill it, you MAY be granted
a second substitute wish.  That does not apply to every wish, just
a few of them.

Wishing for something you already have wastes your 1 wish/day.
Some wishes, if they can't be granted, will allow you a second
chance to make a different wish.  Flirt and Bard Song wishes
will only work if you have already used the appropriate event
in the LORD Inn earlier in the day.

All wishes honor Seth's boundary limits for numeric lord stats.
The IGM will not raise Gold/Experience above Two Billion.  Skill
Point and Skill Use Points wishes are subject to 100 points limit.
All other numeric Lord stats are subject to their 32,000 limits.

7) Wishes are not granted if they would cause a LORD stat to go
negative, or if they would cause a LORD stat to exceed the limits
Seth Robinson established for LORD IGMs to follow. For further info,
read the LORD documentation files on that subject.

8) Free room at Inn privilege only applies to a player who is
married to another player.  It does not work with NPC marriages.

9) If a player's OUT file is deleted for any reason, that player
is no longer considered to be asleep in the IGM when they return
later that day.  If the OUT file deleted belonged to the current
player's spouse who was asleep in the IGM, the player does not
qualify for the free Lair Inn room.  When the spouse returns to
IGM in same day, the WakeUp process is not run for that player.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You only have to pay Conan protection money ONE time per day.
On repeat visits, if they are allowed, the IGM will remember that
you have protection.  Exception:  If shadplay.dat is deleted between
visits, the IGM naturally will not remember anything about your
previous visit(s).
