• Sim-BBS under Mystic

    From Black Panther@21:1/186 to All on Thursday, March 30, 2017 16:30:00
    Hi All,

    I just installed the door game Sim-BBS, and it's running fine. The only
    problem I have with it, is when you exit the game, it will disconnect from
    the BBS. This one has me a bit puzzled.

    Has anyone else got this game running under Mystic? If so, have you had this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    I have not played this / installed it... wondering are you using a fossil driver with this game? When it disconnects on you are you connected via
    telnet login or playing the game via local login etc.?

    I am not using a fossil driver for this game. I have Mystic set up with
    command D3, running the batch file for the game. Mystic is passing only the
    %P (nodes temp directory) to the batch file, and the batch file is running
    the 'sim-bbs.exe %1\door32.sys' command.

    This is via telnet connection to the board. I've never run into this issue before...

    Do the docs refer to use of a fossil driver?

    For the heck of it, I tried running the dos version under Ubuntu and DOSEmu, and I get "Runtime error 200 at 08EC:0091". This is trying to run both the config program and the actual door game.

    Perhaps I'll have to scrap this one... :(

    I've been running both the SIM-BBS 32-bit v2.41 and the SIM-BBS DOS v2.41 on my

    board in DOORS Test Lab for sometime now. Although the door sysop.doc does not talk about any fossil drives per-say. Most 32-bit doors don't require them, while the 16-bit Dos doors do need \netfoss\nf.bat loaded. Here SIM-BBS32 version is runs in mystic using D3 commandline {path}\doors\sim-bbs.bat %3
    But, like BlackPanther will drop connection after user exits the game. WINxp.

    The other SIM-BBS 16-bit Dos version looks exactly the SAME. lol using D3 Commandline c:\netfoss\nf.bat /N%3 .H%0 c:\doors\simbbs.bat %3 the batch is SIM-BBS c:\mystic\temp%1\CHAIN.TXT

    Ok, so at least it's not just me doing something stupid... :) I'm running

    I'll have to see if I can get the 16 bit DOS version running on the Ubuntu system here. That may be my only choice. I'm assuming it doesn't have the
    same problem with dropping the connection as the 32 bit version?

    The Win32 has a bug... or the coding just sucks in the exiting the game.

    Correct, The dos 16-bit install *.EXE work fine here and the game looks and feel are exactly the same. Also exits the game and returns properly to bbs.

    So it's not related to Dan running Win 10 64bit?

    yes this is because at the time it was using g00r00s win32 door32.sys doorkit and when he made an upgrade it stopped doing it so find a newer version. what version you running? 2.42?
