Problem with Usurper and Syncronet reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rotan79 · 2019-06-11 12:40 Good morning guys! My boss finally got around to trying some of the BBS games and I just ran into an issue with Usurper. I originally ran into this issue trying out a test account for instructions to the BBS for our co- workers (we haven't rolled out the BBS to the rest of the company yet). Okay so the problem is now that my boss created an account for Usurper - when I run the game it thinks I am using his account in Usurper even though I am logged in as my account. I'm assuming my account is now lost or over-written at this point. Any ideas on how to correct this so that all users can only access the game as themselves? Once again I appreciate all the help! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-06-11 13:01 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rotan79 · 2019-06-11 13:08 Thanks, any ideas on how I can troubleshoot to fix the issue? I have LORD installed as well and we haven't run into this issue with that door. I tried googling but there's very little or very outdated information on Usurper. Lord has a config where you have to setup multiple nodes, so I'm wondering if that could be the issue - I just wouldn't know where to set that up for Usurper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rotan79 · 2019-06-11 13:10 Disregard that, I logged into Lord and back into Usurper it brought my ID back up. So it seems it holds the previous person's info in the node for a while? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-06-11 13:30 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- syi2k17 · 2019-06-11 13:39 It should be writing a new drop file everytime you run a door. If you're using a recent version of Usurper (the open source version that uses RMDoor), your command to launch Usurper should look something like this: ./USURPER -N$NODE -D/path/to/node$NODE/dropfile ​ Where $NODE is whatever your BBS software uses to insert your actual node number. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rotan79 · 2019-06-11 14:08 I'm giving this a shot: USURPER /N%1 /P%n I previously didn't have the /N%1 in my command line. We'll give that a shot later and see if that works. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dperry324 · 2019-06-11 16:12 What OS are you running? How are you calling the game? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rotan79 · 2019-06-11 16:14 I have a Win XP VM setup running the BBS on a Win 7 64 Laptop (bridged network connection). We are currently using the Microsoft Telnet app via Windows 10.
