Hi there,

i need help to use the Advent Calendar in Synchronet (linux). https://github.com/robbiew/mg_advent

How do you add the shell script that executes this door to the external programs menu as a door?

i have the executable and advent.sh script in /sbbs/xtrn/advent/

you go into scfg and add it in your external area
you then add the command:
advent -path %n

make sure it's setup to use door32.sys

did you build it for linux?

I am using their precompiled executable advent-linux-amd64.
It seems they just have updated it, so i checked the new download package.
The included bash script has changed alot, to basicly just start the binary with your recommended -path %n parameter. Looks like it is working now.
Now i just have to wait for december 1st or i get it to run with the debug-disable-date paramter ;)

Thanks!

Brilliant art this year. Especially day 4. I'm just running it on dosbox
as the zip I received didn't have a linux binary in it.
