I simply want to start doors from rlogin connections. They're all .js.

.js written for Synchronet specifically?

I can't figure out any of this.

Did you read https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:game_server ?

The whole logon sequence appears even though
I disabled most of it.

Where?

The games don't start, I get an error that it's not
found due to the way I've got the path and door game name separate.

What's the error message?

Do I need to start them with jsexec?

No.

If you want an rlogin client to go *directly* to a specific door game, then the rlogin *client* needs to specify the internal code of that door (xtrn) in the Rlogin terminal string, as documented in the above wiki page.

If you want all rlogin clients to go directly to your door game menu, that's also described on that wiki page.

I should be able to
figure it out from there. Plus how to disable all of the new user messages and prompting...

Can you be more specific? Some new user messages/prompts can be disabled in SCFG->System->New User Prompts, some are disabled through text string customization (e.g. via ctrl/text.ini file), others via JS modifications or modopts settings.

if you had to deal with yourself, would you be happy with your error

what you should do when having an issue is report what os you are running, what version of the software you are running, and provide screen captures

your problems weren't really that bad. if you would have ran the latest version of synchronet and toggled off what you didn't want to see, it would have worked.

Ok, I just went through every message from you to me and didn't see that. Could you please tell me again?

Here are those instructions again, verbatim:

You can eliminate that prompt entirely by creating the file ctrl/text.ini and adding the following line:
EnterYourRealName = ""

If you connect a second time with the same name, that wouldn't be another new user either, so "every time" sounds incorrect as well.

It is forcing me to create a new user each time I connect because the real name is invalid or duplicate. It doesn't say which. I have multiple users with the same handle and different real names... That on it's own is confusing.

That doesn't make sense - if the rlogin-supplied user name already exists in your BBS's userbase, the user will not go through another new user registration again. It sounds like you're specifying a different username for each new rlogin connection. Your BBS's terminal server log output would clarify what's happening. i.e. compare the server log output between 2 successive connections. If the first connection completes the new user registration process, then a second connection (with the same username) should not start a new user registration again.

Cool. I've never heard of it. Looks like it's running Synchronet: a-net-online.lol -- digital man (rob)

Perhaps they all used a newer version.

The "newer version" (actually *versions*) of logon.js just add some more options that some sysops requested and can enable, as documented, but aren't required for baisc game server functionality. The basic rlogin-game-server functionality has been in Synchronet's logon.js for a long time now and isn't that complex to setup.

I just went to the synchronet website, which seemed the logical
place to get the latest version. I did read the game server wiki (thanks to Stringray for pointing me to that) and follow it's instructions before I had my melt-down.

The rlogin/game-server support in Synchronet is controlled via the exec/logon.js script. You can see the edit history of this script (and download the latest version of it) here:
https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commits/master/exec/logon.js

Or... you could upgrade to the latest development build of Synchronet (which includes an updated logon.js) by following the instructions here:
https://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev
That's also the *second* link on the "download" "Synchronet for Windows" option at "the synchronet website" (www.synchro.net).

It works just fine if you had a version of Synchronet installed that supported what you're trying to do!

Every time I connect, it's as a new user and the real name isn't

This might have been addressed recently, if I remember right. But your Synchronet install would need to be updated to the latest. The instructions to do this are also on the wiki.

Thank you MRO, you were uncharacteristically understanding... As far as
I knew,I was running the latest version. I got it from the official website. Perhaps I'll try again.

You are running the latest full package installer (which is not updated daily). Right above that on the same page as the link for that installer, is "Development Update Instructions":

https://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev

Get the latest binaries in the "Pre-built Executables" section and follow those instructions. Don't forget to run "jsexec update". Don't do /anything/ else until you are fully updated to the latest version. Then, and only then.. go back and do what DM originally told you do in regards to your RLogin server thing.

If after that you still have issues, bring them here and ask your questions a bit more respectfully, if that's possible.

Nick
