  • Help with doors

    From Alonzo@21:1/130 to All on Wed Apr 23 18:49:42 2025
    At the expense of sounding like a newbie, I really need help setting up some door games with my Mystic BBS. Can someone point me toward some good
    examples, with the full details about setting them up?

    I don't know beans about the drop files or external stuff you need to run the doors. That's why I need some real examples, with complete setup
    instructions.

    Thanks a lot.

    The first thing is what kind of door do you want to run? It's likely
    that it may be something you can only run on a 32 bit system and ideally on Windows not some dos-box type emulation.

    There are other doors like Galactic Dynasty and For Honour that Apam has created and they run both on Linux and Windows.. we run a inter-bbs
    league for them here in fsxNet and there's some guidance in the infopack about how to install them etc.

    At this point, I am ready for anything. I just want some games
    on my board. I have tried to connect with some of the door
    servers but haven't had any luck yet. I used to run a BBS in
    the 90s and could do absolutely anything with it, but now
    I am an old geezer and I've forgotten 90% of what I used to
    know. I will keep trying. Thanks for the reply.±

    Welcome back to BBSing! Are you running a Windows system or Unix? If
    your using a windows system maybe this will help a bit. I've had luck
    with most of the games I've run but a few of the older ones like Yankee Trader I haven't been able to get to run. I use Netfossil to run the

    Thanks for the ideas. I really appreciate it. I can't seem to
    get any of this stuff right lately and it's driving me nuts. :)

    I know what you mean I get frustrated with stuff sometimes got a lot of open fires that I started and never got back to. You'll get it! :)
