    Having problems with some door batchfiles. I have LORD, TEOS and Darkness working as they all have similar configurations. Having difficulty with Tradewars now if anyone has some pointers. Will try some other game configurations today as well.

    Sorry to complain. :) If you have them working could you also
    post the settings here? Just so future sysop's won't need to bug you! ;)

    Remember I've had to get the LORD settings from you twice. hahahahaha

    I did manage to get Twars working yesterday but not with the batch I got in
    the email. I kept having this problem with the door not working remotely and then assumed it was not picking up the drop file. The problem was mostly in the game setup and the stock bat seemed to do the trick. When I get a chance today. I'll post my settings. I was thinking about documenting configs i.e., Net2BBS and doors and zipping them up or something.

    Here's the info I gave Jim:

    **Seth Able's Node Data System, for node 1
    BBSNAME Century Point BBS
    BBSTYPE DOORSYS
    ;COMPORT 0
    FOSSIL
    LOCKBAUD 57600
    STATUS ON
    STATFORE 3
    STATBACK 7
    COLOR1
    ;NODIRECT
    ;UNUSED
    BBSDROP c:\ezy\node1
    ;UNUSED
    ;UNUSED
    ;UNUSED

    My Games.bat Lord Entry:

    rem %1 = lord1 %2 = current node number

    :lord1
    echo Bashing Players in L.O.R.D. > \ezy\userdoes.%2
    cd \bbsgames\lord
    call start.bat %2
    goto finish

    For you menu type 7 option, use the following:

    *c /c *m <path/name of lord batch file> *n *d5(dropfile type)

    eg: *C /C *M c:\ezy\games.bat lord1 *N *D5

    Hope this helps...

    Cheers,

    Nope, be another week at least before I have time to do much of anything. Also you removed the archives from DB so I don't have them anymore. :)
