• Interstellar Annihilation

    From Thumper@1:218/602 to ALL on Wed Oct 5 09:30:00 2022
    Hello all,

    Been trying to set up Interstellar Annihilation, one of my favorite Doorgames, in Gameserver but can't seem to get the config right. Anyone out there have any ideas or maybe already have it set up?

    Thanks,

    Thanks,

    Here is my settings in Gamesrv:

    [DOOR]
    Name=Interstellar Annihilation
    Command=DOORS\ISA\STARTISA.BAT
    Parameters=*NODE
    LocalOutput=True
    Native=False

    and here is my startisa.bat:

    Here is my settings in Gamesrv:
    Command=DOORS\ISA\STARTISA.BAT

    and here is my startisa.bat:
    C:
    CD gamesrv\isa
    ^^^^^^^^^^^
    Two things here.

    1. I find it's generally unwise to change to relative directories in door batch files.

    2. Based on your line in the Gamesrv config, I don't think this is what you want to do. Try this in startisa.bat, adjusting the gamesrv directory as needed:

    C:
    CD \GAMESRV\DOORS\ISA

    Well... still nothing but I did finally catch the error. For some reason the batch file cannot
    change to the c:\gamesrv\doors\ISA directory. Says it doesn't exist when it does! I'll
    have to work with it more.....
