I would like to welcome all English Speaking BSW game players to our forum!

If you would like to become a partner town with Burgundy Ridge, just join our forum and post here, or email me directly at jeff@gamerjeff.com   I will pass your request on to our Mayor and get back to you as quickly as possible!

Partner Towns currently:
Rosehaven

....that the entire town, lost to the swirls of time and only reappearing once every 31.8 days and only for a 5-day period each time, had the strangest feeling while drinking their grog and wolfing down scones heaped with ginormous amounts of honey butter, that they had been there before, celebrating with the dragon.  Some would even call it deja vu.  But not the townspeople and their new-found friends the male cheerleaders.   No, they might call it a dream, a fantasy or even a strange thread only found on a forum somewhere, but deja vu?  No.  Instead, they came almost simultaneously to a decision.  Instead of the weekly bridge tournament they decided instead to ....

24  Questions about.... / BSW / Re: Prop File updates on: April 29, 2009, 06:48:02 PM
Okay, just a couple of quick notes here:

1) Read the links for BSW about Prop Files in the first post if you haven't already.  These will explain a lot of stuff that we will be talking about later.

2) Here are some things to keep in mind about your prop file:

  Be careful when editing this file.
  It's always a good idea to keep a backup copy of your PROP file, just in case.
  The changes you make to your prop file will only take place at your next login.
  Each line MUST be a separate command.
  The order of the commands does not matter. User-defined menus can be tagged at the front of a command to create menu sequences.
  Be careful of Blanks or TABs at the end of a line which may make the prop file compile incorrectly, then you won't be able to enter BSW!  Blanks can however be used within menu commands to make your menus more meaningful.
  Everything placed after a '#' is considered a comment and not executed by the computer. '#' Characters are particularly useful as reference texts for later review.
  Blank lines will be ignored and are treated like the # comments.
  The structure used in each line takes the form COMMAND = VALUE.


A couple of things you can most likely omit:
  Internet Connection options can be omitted as they usually default to you PC settings anyway.
  Automatic Login options can be omitted so no one else can log in from your computer.
     If two people share the same computer from time to time, you definitely want to leave this out!

A couple of things you should really change and make sure you have in your prop file:
  Nation = en  should be changed to   Nation = en-us
  reconnect = 10
  Client = Vampire


25  Questions about.... / BSW / Prop File updates on: April 29, 2009, 05:00:48 PM
If you don't have a prop file that you are customizing, you are missing out on a lot of cool things you can do!

I am going to be talking about the prop file and what you can do with it using the new Vampire Client from BSW.

If you have questions going forward, please start your post with the following:
    I have the Base Client (old version)             REFERENCE: http://www.brettspielwelt.de/Hilfe/Client/PropDatei/?nation=en
or
    I have the Vampire Client (new version)       REFERENCE: http://www.brettspielwelt.de/Hilfe/Client/ClientVampire/

This will help whomever responds to your questions with the correct answers!

First - you really should be on the new Vampire Client!  (This is just what BSW is calling it!) 
   You can see and/or set the following:
     - the country flags of everyone who logs on
     - Male, female or puppet status of everyone
     - change the colors of everyone's writing
     - change the background colors and writing colors of all of BSW
     - administer all of your channels and private chats much easier
     - pop up windows with pictures of your online friends list
     - ability to run 10 startup commands
     - ability to add quick buttons and more!
Also, with a prop file you can make custom menus, have custom function keys and more!

Here is a picture of the "chat" portion:


Notice you can have multiple channels and see which ones you need to respond to
as well as always seeing who is in the room with you or in channel with you!

TO GET ON THE NEW VAMPIRE CLIENT do the following:
  from within BSW type /client vampire            [this will TEMPORARILY put the Vampire Client on your system]

If you want to permanently be on the new Vampire Client, put the following in your prop file:
   client = Vampire



Over the next few posts I will try to break down the prop file with comments, using examples and screenshots.  If you have ideas not listed, please list them as all of us can use the information!  [Sharing is good!]

 
To start with, you will need a text editor of some kind to edit the prop file.  NotePad will work if you don't have a favorite one.
Your prop file is called Brettspielwelt.prop

Where is the prop file?  Well it depends on your pc and operating system.
On my desktop unit my prop file is in this folder:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Jeff\Application Data\BSW
On my laptop my prop file is in this folder:
    C:\Roaming Data\BSW

If you make a mistake, don't worry.  You can always edit it and change it again.
If you really mess up, you can always download our prop file located on our Burgundy Ridge downloads page.



I will end this post with a copy of the old standard Base Client prop file:

Good question!

I've searched all of the rules pages on BSW, info pages on BSW as well as the BSW forum and cannot find an answer yet.

I will submit a technical question in the BSW forums.

Okay, we all have other interests, and one of my biggest loves since a little kid has been Star Trek!

The new movie comes out on May 7th - who is going to see it? 

The trailers and teasers are here:  http://www.startrekmovie.com/

At first I wasn't sure about them re-doing the whole thing (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty and the rest - all with different actors) but now am thinking it is kinda cool.  I guess we will see how they handle it.

AND if it brings Star Trek back to a regular TV shows that would be cool too!
