Okay,

So I've set up the network side of things regarding getting the BBS ready to deploy Galactic Dynasty and For Honor. However, in GD's readme it asks me to
do the following:

Linux is similar to Windows, except requires STDIO redirection.

Use dorinfo1.def as your drop file, or door.sys.You will need to write a shell script that first changes the working directory then calls Galactic Dynasty with the -D switch for the drop file.




How do I go about doing that? I'm relatively new to linux and I'm only
starting to get more proficient with the terminal and bash, so I'm a wee bit lost.

I'm running Magicka but here's a look at my fhnr_l21.sh that runs For
Honour in the league 21 game here..

#!/bin/bash

NODE=$1

cd /home/alan/MagickaBBS/doors/fhnr_fsx
./ForHonour -D /home/alan/MagickaBBS/node${NODE}/door.sys
./ForHonour maintenance

The only magic bit there is the ${NODE} bit. When the door is run from
the BBS the node number we are running on is the first command line
parameter. I put that node number in an environment variable with the
NODE=$1 above, then use that parameter to get the right directory to look
in with ${NODE}.

Ttyl :-),

Question is, will Mystic detect that {NODE] EVAR and run properly? I want to make sure all my ducks are in a row before I start doing things in a bash script.

When you create the menu entry command in mystic, make sure you set it
like this:

Command (DD) Exec external program
Data ./fhnr_l21.sh %3

See: http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=menu_commands#external_doors

The %3 becomes the node number, which mystic passes onto the script
which becomes $1.

Take care,

Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

I'll be getting on it tonight.
