I simply want to start doors from rlogin connections. They're all .js. I can't figure out any of this. The whole logon sequence appears even though I disabled most of it. The games don't start, I get an error that it's not

need to start them with jsexec? I've got tons of questions and couldn't find any answers on the wiki searching for my questions... I've got 3.20d I
think.

Sorry, I'm in over my head... I really thought this would be self
explanatory and a piece of cake. I just want to have my users be able to access .js arcade games locally. I just need one working example for
startrek, gooble gooble, chicken delivery or Lemons. I should be able to figure it out from there. Plus how to disable all of the new user messages
and prompting...

I simply want to start doors from rlogin connections. They're all .js.

.js written for Synchronet specifically?

I can't figure out any of this.

Did you read https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:game_server ?

The whole logon sequence appears even though
I disabled most of it.

Where?

The games don't start, I get an error that it's not
found due to the way I've got the path and door game name separate.

What's the error message?

Do I need to start them with jsexec?

No.

I've got tons of questions and couldn't
find any answers on the wiki searching for my questions... I've got 3.20d I think.

If you want an rlogin client to go *directly* to a specific door game, then the rlogin *client* needs to specify the internal code of that door (xtrn) in the Rlogin terminal string, as documented in the above wiki page.

If you want all rlogin clients to go directly to your door game menu, that's also described on that wiki page.

I should be able to
figure it out from there. Plus how to disable all of the new user messages and prompting...

Can you be more specific? Some new user messages/prompts can be disabled in SCFG->System->New User Prompts, some are disabled through text string customization (e.g. via ctrl/text.ini file), others via JS modifications or modopts settings.

Yes.

In the ctrl file.

I got around that.

No.

Yes, the door is starting after the bulletins and other things appear, right before the menu would. I'm using xtrn=GOOBLE as an example.

Then it sounds like you just need to set [logon] rlogin_xtrn_logon = false in your modopts.

Can you be more specific? Some new user messages/prompts can be

those screens that show up can be disabled by doing [atcode[POFF[poff]

i'll show you a super sloppy way to do it.

backup c:\sbbs\text

go in there and do

I simply want to start doors from rlogin connections. They're

all

.js.

.js written for Synchronet specifically?

I can't figure out any of this.

Did you read https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:game_server ?

Yes.

The whole logon sequence appears even though I disabled most of

it.

Where?

In the ctrl file.

What file is that?

modopts.ini

The games don't start, I get an error that it's not found due to

the

way I've got the path and door game name separate.

What's the error message?

I got around that.

Still, I think we'd like to know what the error message was.

I had jsexec followed by the .js script loading after the path. Simple user error.

Do I need to start them with jsexec?

No.

I've got tons of questions and couldn't find any answers on the

wiki

searching for my questions... I've got

3.20d I

think.

Sorry, I'm in over my head... I really thought this would be

self

explanatory and a piece of cake. I just want to have my users be

able

access .js arcade games locally. I just need one working example

for

startrek, gooble gooble, chicken delivery or Lemons.

I added that and it still does the same thing. I gave up and am using an external server. This was quite unpleasant. I followed the instructions
to the letter and it didn't work as stated.
