  • Mystic door games

    From Alonzo@21:1/130 to All on Mon Nov 20 18:26:11 2023
    I am trying to install some door games on my BBS but I can't get
    anything to work except doors written in MPL. Mysic CLAIMS that
    you can use doors that require a door.sys file but I can't figure out how to do that.

    If you have managed to get door games to work on your BBS,
    could you please tell me what settings you used in your doors
    menu? I have a 32-bit Windows system. Do I need to install Python?
    Mystic claims to have an embedded version of Python pre-installed.
    Thanks.

    I may be way off base on this .. .however I tripped over this one before. Mystic drops door.sys in the ./Temp directory you I have to tell the game where to find that file. Once I did, I was able to run the Door Game.

    Visit my BBS anytime - I have PLENTY of doors running.

    I posted stuff last year sometime, but can repost or if you have a direct email, I can post screen caps of the command lines.

    You will need an emulator as well for redirecting over telnet, but that's easy to install. Python isn't needed for doors unless it calls for it.

    eg ARROWBRIDGE 1 using NETFOSS on Windows 7 32-bit system and Mystic BBS:



    DDe:\mystic\netfoss\nf.bat /N%3 /H%0 e:\doors\ab1\node.bat %3

    ARROWBRIDGE I\NODE.BAT
    ----------------------
    E:
    cd e:\doors\ab1
    abridge.exe /LOCKED=19200 /NODE%1 /Pe:\mystic\temp%1
    cd e:\mystic
    exit



    NETFOSS: nf.bat
    ---------------
    @echo off
    REM you can optionally add ansi.com here
    REM e:\mystic\netfoss\ansi.com
    e:\mystic\netfoss\netfoss.com %1
    if errorlevel 1 goto end
    e:\mystic\netfoss\netcom.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 e:\mystic\netfoss\netfoss.com /u
    :end
    exit

    Hey, thanks a lot. I may be able to get them to work now. I appreciate the help.

    I will do that. Thanks. I will figure that anything you have running will
    work on my BBS too. I just need t figure this stuff out.

    Holy cow! That's a lot of convoluted wrangling just to get a
    door to run. I miss the days when I ran a Searchlight BBS. I
    don't remember it being this difficult. I will give this a try
    though, so thanks.

    ... There will be a rain dance Friday night, weather permitting!
