I have a friend who wanted me to set up BBS Drag Race, has anyone done this successfully? It uses his own internal routines so the only way I can seem to get it to work is to set the door in console mode. The ANSI doesn't translate and it makes the door kind of unusable but does execute and display when I do that.

So, this is a standard door game? What version are you trying? On what OS? Does the door support FOSSIL or UART communications? More information, like your configuration of the door and the SCFG settings, would be helpful.
now - i dont get callers to my bbs yet so not sure whether it was a peculiarty with my machine here to ont but time will tell..

I'm using DosEMU under Linux. If I try the normal setup for these things it seems to just hang which I assume is the
internal routines trying to take over. If I use Intercept I/O Standard, it does appear but the Ansi escape sequences seem to
get ignored so it's kind of impossible to use at that point.
Ijust checked to see if you have a BBS listing in the Synchronet BBS list: http://www.synchro.net/sbbslist.html
For the verification results, it says "0-00-00 none". I don't recall if I've seen that before, but it sounds like the
automated verifier isn't able to connect to your BBS.

Thanks DM! In the sysop doc it says this -
Important NOTE : When Running in remote mode that ( Non-local) Mode,
BBSRACE installs it's own serial Interrupt driven
routines. If you have a fossil driver loaded, you may
experience problems. It is Recomended that you
UNLOAD OR DISABLE THE FOSSIL before running this

i had an issue with a couple of DOS doors running under freedos/dosemu2 and ansi. I would get the ansi sequences on the screen. I loaded up nansi.com and it works perfectly.

yea cus it thinks it's ssh and not telnet.
dunno how to change that one.

nope.. never had SSH active on tehre cus that's how i admin the machine is via opensshWhat do you mean when you say it thinks it's SSH? If you try to log on yourself via telnet, are you able to log on, or does
only ports that are open to the world are telnet and binkp
it report an error related to SSH?
no if you look at the bbs list it says the only connection available is SSH when it should be telnet.

no if you look at the bbs list it says the only connection available is SSH when it should be telnet.Ah, I see. If you edit your BBS entry (probably needs to be on your own system), I'm pretty sure you can edit the types of
connections your BBS accepts. Then your update should be sent to Vertrauen and the entry in sbbslist.html should be updated.
here's my mayhem.bat file i use to run it
---------------------------------
@echo off
rem run ansi driver
ansi.com
rem set NODE env
set UUNODE=%SBBSNNUM%
mayhem.exe
rem make sure we exit
exit
And normally, that would be okay. Most doors either have their own serial routines to talk directly to a UART/COM port and/or they can use FOSSIL (software interrupts). Did you try disabling the FOSSIL driver in your ctrl/external.bat file to see if that resolves the problem with this particular door?

that's the thing, i dont know how to do that LOLHow did you add your BBS entry in the first place? It's basically the same process to update it.
