  • instal-ini doors

    From Grease@1:103/705 to All on Thu Sep 3 11:02:56 2026
    Sorry to ask this, but my old addled braincan't seem to figure it out.
    I was on xtrn/3rdp-install and saw an old doorgame I liked, Gutterbowl.
    I read the CLAUDE.md file and thought I was doing it right.
    First I made a directory in xtrn: gutbowl
    Next I moved the .ini and the .js into the gutbowl directory
    Third, I run ~/sbbs/exec/jsexec gutterbowl32.ini (can't remember the exact filename at the moment) in the gutbowl directory.
    It doesn't work.
    I've read the CLAUDE.md file a couple of times now and I guess it's not going through. Is there a "Install.ini for dummies" tutorial out there?

    I'm not sure what ".ini and .js" you moved into the gutbowl directory, but that doesn't sound correct.

    I will give it a shot. Thanks!

    In the xtrn/3rdp directory, there are several doorgames. For each game, there is a .ini file and a .js file.

    I'm sorry. I misremembered. It's in the repo/3rdp directory

    Those files don't need to be copied or moved anywhere. Let me know if the wiki instructions aren't clear.

    The repo/3rdp directory is for a different purpose (nothing to do with install external programs).
