Ruined Castle Player Database Editor v1.00
** RuinEdit was released on Nov. 30th, 2007.
----------------------------------------
-- Player Database Editor utility (RUINEDIT).
-- DOS LORD IGM utility by Donald Tidmore.
-- For use with The Ruined Castle v2.30 IGM.
** Freeware. ** See RUINEDIT.TXT for details.


Extended info for the IGM:
--------------------------------------------
The IGM is based on Dan Stovall's LADY Script.

Explore inside or outside a mysterious,
old, ruined castle that you find in the
forest.  Ask the Castle Ghost for favors,
but be careful what you ask for.  Being
greedy, when it comes to Fairies, may
cost you YOUR Life!  While exploring
outside, you can find Gems, a Horse, or
a Child.  Are you brave enough to enter?
----------------------------------------

As of 01/16/2007, I've removed the limit
on Adoptions.  Max Visits/Day range is
now 1-10, instead of 1-6.  IGM now uses
a RUINBACK.DAT file which protects users
IGM stats from accidental loss/deletion
of RUINPLAY.DAT file during IGM usage.
========================================

01/16/07: Added Castle Events Menu. Each
monster event can be used 5 times per
visit.  Added Ogre Fight and Vampire
Battle events.  Both are random as to
outcome, and won't result in death if
player loses the fight.  View Stats and
View Usage Reports are accessible from
the Menu, along with the original Castle
Ghost adventure.  Req. v2.21+ beta.
========================================

Sysop chooses # of daily visits allowed,
up to maximum of 10.  Only ONE Fairy may
be obtained per day, from the Ghost.  He
kills greedy fools who ask him for a
second one on the same day.

DragonPoop notes: Risk of random event
occuring is 33% for normal IGM uses. It
goes up to 100% when Daily Visits limit
is exceeded.  Angel Rescue will occur
only ONE time per day - and is limited
to Level 1-4 players.

Experience Points rewards for entire
IGM are limited as follows: Dragon Poop
reward is limited to 25 Million maximum
points per event.  Overall igm limit
does not allow players to gain over
50 Million exp. points per day.
-------------------------------------

** v2.20 was released on May 23, 2004.
=======================================

** This IGM checks for Over-Range or
Negative LORD Stats at IGM Entry, and at
IGM Exit.  All of LORD's numeric stats
are covered since LORD will crash if it
encounters over-range values, and no one
wants to have negative stats.
=======================================

IGM compatibility with versions of LORD
before v3.55 is not guaranteed.
--------------------------------------

The Ruined Castle's IGM files were tested
under DOS LORD v4.07, which was released
on Jun. 07, 2006.

They are currently tested using DOS LORD
v4.08 Beta's September 2006 compilation.
