  • Setting up LORD door in Mystic

    From Tangled Mass@21:2/150 to All on Sunday, December 01, 2024 13:11:32
    I'm having a rough time trying to set up LORD in Mystic. I've followed the instructions in the Mystic docs and it's not working... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Google has not been my friend on this :(

    Windows 32-bit
    Netfoss is in c:\mystic\netfoss
    netfoss.dll has been moved to System32
    LORD is in c:\mystic\doors\lord

    In Mystic's menu editor LORD is configured as follows:
    command: (DD) Exe external program
    data: c:\mystic\netfoss\nf.bat /N%N /H%H c:\mystic\doors\lord\start.bat %N

    I've also tried: c:\mystic\netfoss\NF.BAT /N%3 /H%0 C:\LORD\START.BAT %3

    My LORD start.bat is:
    cd c:\mystic\doors\lord
    REM ^ Set this to your LORD path!
    @ECHO OFF

    IF "%1" == "" GOTO NOSTART

    IF EXIST INFO.%1 DEL INFO.%1
    IF EXIST DO%1.BAT DEL DO%1.BAT

    :BEGIN
    LORD.EXE %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 /DREW
    IF ERRORLEVEL 255 GOTO DONE
    IF ERRORLEVEL 254 GOTO DO1
    GOTO DONE

    :DO1
    CALL DO%1.BAT
    GOTO BEGIN

    :NOSTART
    CALL START.BAT 0
    GOTO REALDONE

    :DONE
    IF EXIST INFO.%1 DEL INFO.%1
    IF EXIST DO%1.BAT DEL DO%1.BAT

    :REALDONE

    Did you edit the NF.BAT file to include the %1 at the end of the line NetFoss and the Mystic docs say to?

    c:\path\to\netfoss\netfoss.com %1

    And this is correct:

    data: c:\mystic\netfoss\nf.bat /N%N /H%H c:\mystic\doors\lord\start.bat
    %N

    It should work after this. One last thing, you didn't mention setting up the paths to the drop files in LORDCFG. Just a reminder to do so if you didn't.

    And while you're in there, and you get the ASCII "LORD" logo in the cfg screen, I made that for Mike Preslar way back in the day. Just a bit of LORD trivia for ya =)

    Thanks... got it working finally. Turns out it was a typo on my part :(

    No worries, it happens a lot. Tons of typing sometimes. Good to hear you got it working!

    I was going thru your code as I run 7 different "flavours" of LORD on my BBS. Glad you got it figured out - My hands type much slower than my brain, so I'm constantly using the BACKSPACE key.
