  • Weird Door Problem

    From Cozmo@21:3/135 to All on Thursday, April 29, 2021 16:38:09
    I have a weird problem. I have a Door program that I installed. When I try to "open" the Door It shows that Netfoss loads, "NetFoss - Revision 5 FOSSIL - Com Eng v1.25RC - (c) 2001-2021 pcmicro.com" but, the door doesn't appear to load. The screen stays at the menu with that text saying Netfoss is loaded. But, when i go to the computer that has my BBS on it and do an ALT-V to view the user The Door program is actually loaded I can see it when I ALT-V but
    the user can't see it. It just sits at the menu screen. Hope thats makes
    sense.

    if you can share the bat file you call to load netfoss and the command line
    you use for running the door... thanks :)

    Figured out what the problem was. I left out a /D parameter in the Batch file to run the door. I had "czodiac c:\mystic\temp%1\door.sys" should be
    "czodiac /Dc:\mystic\temp%1\door.sys" So many times it's something so simple and right in front of your face but you miss it. Must have checked that file at least 10 times. :)

    What does the /D do if you don't mind the ask. Is it for Mystic, DOSBox or another software? Or the door even. :P

    Paulie, according to the sysop.txt file for this Door it says:
    /D<path> - Specifies the full path and filename of what dropfile to
    use (DOOR.SYS or DORINFO1.DEF)

    From what I'm gathering from installing doors is that not all doors use that parameter. But this one does.
