Arctic Trivia Version 1.0.0.2 BETA 1.0 released today.
this is the initial release with the core engine playable, and is being released for sysops to begin the feedback process of what needs to be added, changed, etc...

this uses a teleconference interface and scrolls the questions like Farwest ...

The Storm

Not to dig up an OLD topic, but where can one still get Farwest Tele-Trivia for WG 3.x NT?

The Storm

Yup, I have RLogin working but I'd love to mask it with Game_Server or the like. Yea, send that over or if it's available at your BBS, let me know.

By the way, this BBS is now open to the public. Some things (like the external game server) are not working but I'm working to resolve that.

If this is client side javascript, it shouldn't be much of an issue. If it's something to be processed on the web side, I don't believe it's going to work.

If you need it processed on the server side, you might want to throw up a AMP server, and make calls to it to process the JS, PHP or the like ...

It's in the .MSG file. Now, I just need to know how to read that...so maybe I'm missing something in this process of loading the .MSG file, and trying to display one of the variables set there...how would I read a variable from it so that I can display it?

Well worldlink.worldgroupware.com is back online but no messages transmitted so the best I can tell is they still have the configuration fubared and it is a dead network for now :(

How much bandwidth do you think the network would take up? I'm ...

I haven't been able to connect for a couple of days. Maybe another system should be considered.

dspain wrote:yeah you can also set a batch file to build and set a path called $(PROJDIR) and replace $(RUNDIR) in the mak file with $(PROJDIR) and output all binaries there.

Might be a better idea since I don't want to hose my dev environment so early into development.

Yea, thanks for the heads up. I did find the DLLs there after some searching. Hopefully, this puts me back on the path of getting things done.

Ok, I've been trying to get a couple of things compiled but it seems when I run the mknt.bat file, everything goes well but it doesn't make any type of DLL file. It will, however, give me the LIBs, OBJs, BLDs, Header Files, and Object File Librarys.

Still, no DLL's. Any idea what I might be doing ...

Well, with all things, delays happen (sometimes for almost two years...).

So, no date ...

Well, I would love to use it in order to get MajorNET up and running. I think it's a great idea to release this or at least have an official server that does it all.
