Tony,

Two problems I've run into with my doors on Synchronet.

I saw a picture on Facebook that HAD the <ANY> key. :P
I can't help with those, I don't run any of them. :/

Daryl Stout wrote to TONY LANGDON <=-
Of the over 300 doors online, if only 2 aren't working right, that's pretty darn good. Admittedly, I had to do a lot of tweaking to get some
of them to work. Sadly, most of them now are abandonware, and no longer registerable.

Good deal. I've been getting the ANSI score screens via the QWK Networking, but I'm not sure where Synchronet is putting them.

I'm having problems getting the QWK Networking packets to transfer, although it's set up like the rest of the QWK Networks (DoveNet, etc.). Someone else posted they were having the same problem. I hope Tim,
KK4QBN, is reading this. <G>

I did see something about that. I'm still waiting for my application to come through.

Well, I guess I'll rock on over and create a QWK account, and get connected. :)
I'll have to find that qwknet script for your system too. Anyway, SSH seems to be working for me, I just logged into my regular account.
Anyway, my BBSLink application came through, and I've got it working on Freeway, dead easy setup, at least on Synchronet. :)

He should get back with you via email as soon as he gets to it. I
remember when I first signed up for BBSlink, during the application proccess, so much time had lapsed that when he returned my email I had already forgotten what it was about.
I believe my email was sent to his spam box and he just happened to
find it..
check on the bbslink website for an alternative form of contact and
just send him a reminder that you applied if it has been over a week or so.
OK, thanks. I'll follow it up in due course. Spent much of today chasinf some weird routing issues in an AMPRnet gateway. Think I've managed to lock it down with iptables, but not 100% convinced. :)

Ahh, OK. Hmm, he needs to fix his system to accept email from his form! :)

Cool, the qnet script is included in the packet off my main website or

system burped or something. ssh and tls were giving issues until I rebooted.

I put emphasis on "Believe" I don't know that for sure, I do know it
took a while for him to get to me.. cannot remember exactly why
though.. but once he got to me I had all games setup within about 5-10 minutes :)

OK, I haven't found either yet, will have to fish around. I don't do well with vague leads. :) Just curious, why the need for the different script?
Yes, and using the "menu" option makes it dead simple. I did add LORD by itself as well, just for the exercise. :)

Its not needed unless your system has issues getting packets from mine because my router. I lack the technical knowledge on the subject to explain why soem routers need passive mode, and some do not while communicating with mine, but thats the way it is :(

Oh yeah, for sure.
Thanks, we will get it worked out.
Mojo suggested that I "not require real names" with the dropfile.
That's fine if they have a 2 word alias, like "Grimy Trader", etc. However, if they've had a one word alias, such as "Warrior", the door CRASHES because of "limited data" in the dropfile. And, when the door "crashes", it locks the BBS on that node, and they can't play the game, anyway.
I mainly use either DORINFO1.DEF (some of my doors will run ONLY on
that dropfile), or DOOR. SYS for a dropfile.
Yes, we are using alias. Let's keep these discusions using email or text D>through jay, you and me, not here. OK This is a league 59 issue.
If you can produce a door.sys file, use that, then use srdoor to convert it t D>the right format. It's all the the docs for bre, fe, tal.
When I looked at the install program for BRE, FE, FH, and TAL, it
created a batchfile with the SRDOOR command to convert the data from DOOR.SYS (what I use, unless the door requires a DORINFO1.DEF file).
The problem remains that IF a user has a one word alias (i.e.
"Warrior") instead of a two word alias (i.e. "Grimy Trader"), the door CRASHES upon loading, as the door does NOT know how to handle the dropfile with the "one word alias". Then, it locks the node up, and the user can't get into the door...and has to disconnect, and logon again.
I even discovered that with my own account, when I tried to use my callsign as an alias. So, I just changed it to my regular name, to avoid that problem.
Daryl
You don't need to run srdoor with synchronet, as synchronet makes the D>doorfile.sr that bre, fe, and tal use. You just need to have synchronet put D>doorfile.sr in the door directory, and call bre on the command line. Very D>simple.
Uh? am I missing something? Reuire full names. and have sbbs create tje K>doorfile.sr in the node dir. amother couple hints I picked up is to clean sta K>files
Mojo sent me a screenshot, and I updated the CFG file accordingly to
just use (doorname exe) then FULL. However, since Falcons Honor doesn't have an InterBBS module, I'm not sure if that will work or not.
Uh? am I missing something? Reuire full names. and have sbbs createI am having SBBS create the Solar Realms Dropfile, and put it in the startup directory. When the InterBBS processing will run, I move the outbound files to the proper directories in IREX, and send them
tje doorfile.sr in the node dir. amother couple hints I picked up is
to clean sta files
out...and then vice versa with incoming files.
Now, since Falcon's Honor does NOT have InterBBS capabilities (I
wonder why that is??), I may have to set it up a little differently.
Also, some have asked that "real names not be used"...although in some InterBBS competitions I have been part of in the past (not Sunrise
Doors, as I can recall...although that InterBBS competition was ended a few months ago), the coordinator DID REQUIRE REAL NAMES.

It's set up similar to the others, but why there wasn't an IBBS deal
with it, I have no clue.

Falcon's Honor is setup and it works. But for whatever reason, the programmer did NOT put an InterBBS module with it...and I've never seen
that door as an IBBS setup.
could not get it working. dick stuck in toaster.
