Have attempted to setup some of the Sunrise DOS doors on the system...but the only option I seem to have available is DOOR32.SYS...rather than Door.SYS or some of the other options like Chain.TXT & whatnot.

I have all the Sunrise doors registered with *.bat files set up...along with the config files setup in the local folders. Here's the *.bat file for the first door:

@ECHO OFF
CD\mystic\DOORS\PAIR3
pair3 pair3.cfg
CD\mystic

Here's the first part of the *.cfg file for said door:

C:\mystic\temp%3\door.sys

Have attempted to read the docs for Mystic/SBBS and others for a way to run it...but I get complaints about not finding the drop file in whatever node is running.

Thank you for your help

The cfg files won't understand %3 or any of the variants. You'd have to
either setup separate cfg files for each node, using the absolute path to the node dir where the drop file is (\mystic\temp1 etc) and reflect that in the batch file with %1 for the node number.

For example:

c:
cd \mystic\doors\pair3
pair3 pair3_%1.cfg

and create a separate cfg file for each node, pair3_1.cfg, pair3_2.cfg, etc.

for node 1 cfg. I also noticed you said Mystic won't do just door.sys; it
does. Use the DD command instead of D3 in Mystic

You can also do it in a batch file to create cfg files on the fly for each
node number, but that might be something you're not up for. It's easier,
albeit a bit more tedious, to create the individual cfg files for each node.

Just make sure you reflect each \tempX directory in each corresponding cfg file.

The Mystic command line should be something like:

c:\mystic\doors\pair3\pair3.bat %3

which will pass the current node number.

That makes sense!

Just noticed that I did have the command set up for (DD) with this under the data:
c:\mystic\netfoss\nf.bat /N%3 /H%0 c:\mystic\doors\3pairpoker\pair3.bat %3 /DOS

From what you mentioned...was on my way there...but not quite.

Thank you for the help!

No worries! I don't mind helping where I can.

Just to let you know, the /DOS command doesn't do anything, as near as I can tell. Everything else about that command looks 100% though.

It does, it will create the drop files with ^M or CR/LF line endings in
the linux and OSX versions of Mystic. Some doors may need that to read
the drop files as expected.

Oh, that's right. Forgot about that switch. I actually ran 3 Pair Poker on Mystic before swapping over to Synchronet for DoorParty, and it ran okay
(from what I remember) without the /DOS switch. Either way, I guess it should be okay.

Did you get it working?

I haven't messed with anything dos in a while, although I have an itch to
get OO][ up and running. Trying to decide between dosemu or qemu. I've
done it before with dosemu so I may go that way to avoid the learning
curve but I think qemu may be a better solution to dos stuff going
forward for Pi's and *nix OSs so I may do that too.

But I need spare time to get to anything.. :)

Been working on getting the Sunrise doors running. For the most part...most
of them work once I check the paths & such are correct. For those which are causing me grief...just gotta do RTFM. ;)

Again...thank you for all your help!

c:\mystic\netfoss\nf.bat /N%3 /H%0 c:\mystic\doors\3pairpoker\pair3.b %3 /DOS

Found that command line in my searches on setting up these doors. The first part of that line was suggested to call the fossil...but isn't needed.

Yaknow, I run DoorParty, which has most of the Sunrise collection available. Easier than messing with DOSEMU and stuff. Just an FYI =)

Have seen their website. You're the first one I've been in contact with who
has used it. Am considering getting another RPi and transferring this over there to an old Xbox 20GB HDD with a USB connector. Would DoorParty work on
the RPi under Raspian?

It most assuredly does. I was running it on my RPi for about a year before it died. Also used it on Windows 7 and now Linux Mint. No problems at all.

And I don't just use it, I also run and host it. =) If you're interested, you can check out the wiki for it, http://wiki.throwbackbbs.com or there's info about it on my BBS. It's also where the signup form is if you decide to take the plunge.

There's also a list of systems connected to DoorParty, I think last count was over 150. Yep, 157 as of now. Link for that is http://wiki.throwbackbbs.com/doku.php?id=connected_bbses

HOT DOG! Just waiting to re-sign my lease with a new roommate & I'll be able
to get back on my feet with an RPi 4 with the ethernet hat (which I already have on my RPi 3B+).

Am so happy that there is some/anyone on here who are familiar with things
like this. Sometimes it feels like I'm hitting my head against the wall
without being able to talk to someone about this & other things I have questions about before coming back to this medium.

No worries man, any questions about getting doors to work in general I try
and help with. =)
