Installation
------------

In SCFG (BBS->Configure in the Synchronet Control Panel on Windows,) go to
External Programs -> Online Programs (Doors), then choose an Externals section
to add Star Trek to.  Create a new item with the following details, leaving
all over settings at their default values:

¦Name                       Star Trek
¦Internal Code              STARTREK
¦Start-up Directory         ../xtrn/startrek
¦Command Line               ?startrek.js
¦Multiple Concurrent Users  Yes


Star Trek features an interBBS scoreboard.  To use the scoreboard on my JSON
DB server, which may contain adult/innappropriate ship names, open 
'server.ini', and edit the 'host' and 'port' values at the top to read:

host = bbs.electronicchicken.com
port = 10088

If you would rather host your own scoreboard, ensure that you are running the
JSON DB service (you should have something like the following in your
ctrl/services.ini file):

[JSON]
Port=10088
Options=STATIC | LOOP
Command=json-service.js

And that you have the following section in ctrl/json-service.ini:

[startrek]
dir=../xtrn/startrek/

(After editing services.ini or json-service.ini, you must recycle services or
restart Synchronet for the changes to take effect.)
