Lunatix Crashes BBSV10
Posted: Mon Sep 25, 2023 8:44 am
I believe this is still an issue from the early testing days.
It does not leave any .OUT files, it throws up an access sharing violation message and gives you the option to restart the system or cancel and not.
Essentially, when you log into Lunatix and (B)egin playing, it attempts to load the text file from C:\BBSV10\LUN5DATA\LUNDAILY.TXT to give you the news - and a) drops the board, b) disconnects the user.
The file format is as follows:
------- Below this point ----------
43
`0Some sort of nasty sponge-looking stuff turned up in the Cafeteria.
`018 unwilling organ donors were removed from another wing today.
`0Doctor Hammer denied rumors that the institution is under investigation.
`0An unknown assailant attacked the Cafeteria Lady again today.
`0Nurse Todd found a dozen red and black roses in his office.
`0Nurse Kandi slapped Nurse Redlips for eyeing her favorite patient.
... etc
--------- Above this point --------
* 43 being some reference and the `0 corresponding to the Lunatix color palette.
* This does not crash Worldgroup 3.x
* Deleting the file still crashes the system
* Emptying the file still crashes the system
Please also include (if known):
- MBBS v10 Release number: MBBS v10 Beta R32 released
- Did the crash happen when you were logged in? Yes, was already logged in.
- If so, did it happen while you were doing something specific? Yes, when you press "B" to start go to your room. You can navigate other menu options ok. It's just this one.
- Can you reproduce the crash? If so, how? Yes, log into Lunatix (create new character if need) and when you're at the menu, you need to press "B" to start the game (from your room).
