                       Adds FX Sound for RIP 2.2 Users


Information About the FX_RIPS Included in this ArtPack from Outworld Arts.
===========================================================================

The FX?.RIP(s) Included in this Archive take advantage of the Sound Support
of RIPterm 2.2 and will "WIRE" your BBS with Sound for RIPterm 2.2 callers.
With the FX*.WAV(s) [or waves you define and make available for users] in
thier \ripterm\icon directory RIPterm 2.x callers can get "wired" in!

Make the FXWAVES.ZIP available for User Download on your System... It 
Includes all the sounds users need for all the FX System Add-Ons:

LORD FX (and various IGMs)
Vampires: Children of Darkness 
NY 2008 
ROK
RIPPEDFX (for ANSI Games)
FXRIP (for Users) 

FXWAVES.ZIP is available from the Outworld Arts Files Area:
http://www.outworldarts.com/files/fxwaves.zip

Customizing the FX_RIPS for Your System:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Most of the FX_RIPS are suitable to use for Login Screens for Most Systems
with but a few minor modifications that can be done with any text editor.
(I recommend using FREEVIEW.EXE to view the *.RIP after editing to insure
it is displaying properly)

1) Customizing the *.wav files:
   Simply rename the *.wav on the first line to the *.wav you wish to use.
   ex. The first line of the FX*.RIP will look similar to this:
   !|1w0000fxlook.wav 
   Simply replace the fxlook.wav with mywave.wav:
   !|1w0000mywave.wav
   Take note that large waves may cause problems 200k and smaller are ideal.
   Some FX*.RIP(s) may contain more than one sound but all sound commands
   will be found on a line by themselves and can be modified in the same way.

2) Customizing the RIP Text to Display YOUR BBS Info:
   Using a Text Editor Simply find and Replace the Text "YOUR BBS NAME HERE"
   or "xx Characters Maximum" with the Text You want to Display taking care
   to use the EXACT number of characters and\or spaces as the Original to
   Insure the text you've Inserted Retains the Proper Positioning.
   (Be sure you replace All the instances of the text since sometimes it is
    repeated to create a drop shadow or special effect. If there are areas 
    of text you do not wish to display, simply delete the text only or use
    spaces instead of text) Use FREEVIEW.EXE to View your finished RIP.
