Anyone running an enigma bbs server? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-09 16:44 If so can you message me? I'm trying to get lord running. I can get it to work locally but when I fire it up on the bbs I get a check range error after the splash screen and it closes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zelionthunder · 2023-07-09 19:53 Got any more info bud? OS? Version or LORD? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-09 20:01 Version 4.08 of lord on dosemu2 running x00 fossil driver on Ubuntu, sorry, I was deep in it last night trying to figure it out and trying to stay awake when I posted tgis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zelionthunder · 2023-07-09 20:11 Have you tried creating a dummy dropfile and running it without the BBS, tends to help identify where the issue it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-09 20:12 I can run it without the bbs just fine with start.bat and it works flawlessly, it's whenever I load it on the bbs that it gives the error ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zelionthunder · 2023-07-09 20:17 Try recording what enigma sends to dosbox, see how it tried to execute lord ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NuSkooler · 2023-07-10 15:18 The server literally executes the binary/etc. you tell it. Nothing special there. I'll try to look at the script you sent me in a bit ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robbiew · 2023-07-18 17:09 Did you ever get LORD working? I have a similar situation: * Enigma 1/2 * Ubuntu 22.04 * Dosemu2 * Lord 4.07 DARKNESS loads perfectly. Wonder if it's some weird Fossil driver thing? I tried switching out X00 for BNU but didn't help... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robbiew · 2023-07-18 17:20 I have LORD working using this shell script to launch all my DOS doors... Maybe this will help? I'm using this git repo as the base file for the \~/.dosemu folder: [h ttps://github.com/deadbeatz/mystic\_a45/tree/master/dosemu](https://gi thub.com/deadbeatz/mystic_a45/tree/master/dosemu) and just installed lord in \~/.dosemu/doors/lord `#!/bin/bash` `trap '' 2` `# $1 Node number` `# $2 Door Call Name` `stty cols 80 rows 25` `BBSROOT=/home/enigma/enigma-bbs` `NODE=$BBSROOT/drop/node$1` `# Convert DOOR.SYS to DOS line endings` `unix2dos $NODE/DOOR.SYS 2>/dev/null` `# Define root directory for DOSEMU hdd` `DROOT=/home/enigma/.dosemu/drive_c/nodes/temp$1` `# Define node directory inside DOSEMU filesystem` `cp $NODE/DOOR.SYS $DROOT/DOOR.SYS` `# Generate a random lowercase 4 digit code for batch file uniqueness` `RAND=$(tr -dc a-f0-9 2>/dev/null /dev/null 2>&1` `rm $3/$2` `rm $3/DOOR.SYS` `}` `case "$DOOR" in` `lord)` `echo -e '\r@echo off \r' > $DROOT/$FILE` `echo -e 'c: \r' >> $DROOT/$FILE` `echo -e 'cd c:\\doors\\lord\\ \r' >> $DROOT/$FILE` `echo -e 'start.bat '$1' \r' >> $DROOT/$FILE` `echo -e 'exitemu' >> $DROOT/$FILE` `unix2dos $DROOT/$FILE 2>/dev/null` `run_batch $1 $FILE $DROOT` `;;` `dark)` `echo -e '\r@echo off \r' > $DROOT/$FILE` `echo -e 'c: \r' >> $DROOT/$FILE` `echo -e 'cd c:\\doors\\darkness\\ \r' >> $DROOT/$FILE` `echo -e 'dark16 /n'$1' \r' >> $DROOT/$FILE` `echo -e 'exitemu' >> $DROOT/$FILE` `unix2dos $DROOT/$FILE 2>/dev/null` `run_batch $1 $FILE $DROOT` `;;` `*)` `echo "Invalid option"` `;;` `esac` `trap 2` ​ I wrote a little bit about it here, but it the code above is more recent: [https://medium.com/retro-future/lets-add-a-dos-game-to- enigma-1-2-41f257deaa3c](https://medium.com/retro-future/lets-add-a- dos-game-to-enigma-1-2-41f257deaa3c) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-18 17:35 I think it's something to do with com1=virtual in dosemu2 (I used that guide to set it up), but let me try this one ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robbiew · 2023-07-18 17:45 I just updated that article as well! And added a LORD example. Let know if you need any more ideas :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-18 17:54 >I copied that file and edited fo rmy root directory, followed you insctructions for dosemu2 to the letter (copied all the files and hiddel files) and still get this error. I'm at a wall, I've been stuck here for over a week trying to figure out lord (it's the ONLY door game that I can't get working) https://preview.redd.it/79ffgj75ircb1.png?width=749&format=png&auto=we bp&s=14d64c179380e2c5e4ab84e1c0ce7341cc8f05f1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-18 18:36 See my other comment. Still not working. I tried purging and reinstalling dosemu2 and still get the same error, \*only\* with lord no other dos game. I think it might have to do with com1=virtual but I have no idea. What does your node setup look like in lordcfg? Maybe that's my problem somehow but I'm pretty sure I have it set up right? Here's mine ​ ​ https://preview.redd.it/6az1rkbnprcb1.png?width=717&format=png&auto=we bp&s=167a31390464e49c5563a88d274226cc207e3355 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-18 18:59 Ok we got a little bit further. If I run an older version of lord (4.00a) it works just fine, it's the newest version (4.07) that's broken ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robbiew · 2023-07-18 19:07 Ah, maybe that's a version error thing? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robbiew · 2023-07-18 19:08 My node config https://preview.redd.it/6vhtlqravrcb1.png?width=1460&format=png&auto=w ebp&s=df19b8e8ec22b9f73f3caecd7ab38c60d99c4f58 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2023-07-18 19:10 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-18 19:11 Ahh you're on an older version too. There's a problem with lord and the newer versions (4.07 with patch doesn't work on the BBS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-18 19:14 I got mine from the official website (gameport) and got the dosemu patch from [lordlegacy.com](https://lordlegacy.com) (witch also official via gameport) guess there is something that's broken with dosemu2. with 4.00a it works so that makes me really happy. Let me get your version so at least I have a more updated one ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-18 19:25 Yeah that was 100% the problem. Downgraded to 4.06 (sucks because the registration I paid for doesn't work on 4.06), got it registered from the internet and it's working great. I can't believe I didn't think of that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-18 19:33 It was a problem with the version of lord I was using (4.07 with patch for dosemu2), Downgraded to v4.06 and it works fine. I feel dumb now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robbiew · 2023-07-18 19:44 But you got me to update my Enignma 1/2 DOS door article (it had some errors) so I call that a WIN! :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-18 21:10 Yeah, after seeing your updated article I realized I didn't need a new .sh for every door and all could call them all from the same .sh file with the tags ---------------------------------------------------------------------- robbiew · 2023-07-19 01:33 SAME! I'm setting up an Enigma board (for realz, vs just futzing around) and that's the first thing I did -- verify I had a reliable way to launch via DOSEMU2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AviatingPenguin24 · 2023-07-19 01:43 Feel free to check mine out at www.pixelgrounds.net
