  • Sunrise Doors?

    I read the wiki on installing Sunrise Doors and it's not working for me.
    In the cfg file i used @PCBDIR@\door.sys top line

    I am running NVDTMx64 on Windows 10 64 bit. When I run it nothing happens. I am not sure where to look. Thanks

    Which cfg file?

    I am running NVDTMx64 on Windows 10 64 bit. When I run it nothing happens. I am not sure where to look. Thanks

    When you run *what* nothing happens?

    Do other 16-bit DOS doors work on the system BBS?

    How is the door in question configured in SCFG?

    More information is needed,

    Is that in the door configuration file? If so, I don't think @-codes will work there. In my door configuration files, I've always put the literal path; I've never used @-codes in the door configuration files.

    I checked the referenced wiki.synchro.net page and it directs the sysop to use %PCBDir% in the .cfg files, not @PCBDir@.

    Could that just be it?

    for the configuration files you can just put
    .\door.sys
    for the dropfile location

    and in scfg do place dropfile in game directory

    theoritically it's unorthodox to do so, but i've never had a problem.
    even when trying to get people to enter a game at the same time when testing. the dropfile always went with the right user.

    it's also highly unlikely we would have 2 users on a bbs at the same time and they would play the same doorgame in the same millisecond.
    Just trust me on this. i was running a big gaming bbs.
